I love Pres. Biden! Tells DeathSentence to "Get out of the way"



Biden message for DeSantis on COVID mask opposition: ‘Get out of the way’

President Joe Biden delivered a stern message on Tuesday to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Republican’s opposition to mask mandates: “Get out of the way.”

DeSantis has attributed the state’s uptick in COVID-19 cases to seasonal factors and rejected calls to impose a mask mandate. He last week signed an executive order threatening to withhold state funds from school districts that put mask mandates in place to follow federal health guidance for areas experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases.

“Look, we need leadership from everyone. If some governors aren’t willing to do the right thing to beat this pandemic, then they should allow businesses and universities who want to do the right thing to be able to do it,” Biden said in remarks about the pandemic. “I say to these governors please help. But if you are not going to help, at least get out of the way of the people who are trying to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.”

For the third consecutive day, COVID-19 hospitalizations in Florida reached a pandemic high at 11,863 patients. Federal health officials said on Monday that one in three cases of coronavirus nationwide occurred in Florida and Texas last week.

He's getting ready to run against Biden in a couple of years. I'm sure he's laughing right now.

Biden is a good man, and he thinks that others are good as well.

He has his heart in the right place, but he's wasting his time. Read the audience.

I'd rather he simply called DeSatan out for being the Murderous Piece Of Shit that he is, as opposed to "asking" him to get out of the way.

DeSatan hears that and laughs, and basically says "Fuck You" to Biden.

He told him.

Wow, way to find fault with Biden because he didn't say what you want him to.

I'm just saying he's wasting his time, and that DeSatan couldn't care less.

But, no harm, no foul.

He should have said “shit or get off the pot” instead of “move out of the way”.
