Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he regrets not speaking out ‘louder’ against shutdowns
By Mariana Alfaro 4:30 p.m.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he regrets not speaking “louder” against the Trump administration’s calls for lockdowns at the beginning of the pandemic.
Speaking to the conservative podcast “Ruthless,” DeSantis said that in the earlier days of the pandemic he never thought the virus would lead to lockdowns in the country.
“I didn’t think that was on the radar,” DeSantis said. “I was dealing with, I had Pence and the CDC director down at Port Everglades talking about cruise ships the second week of March [2020]. No one was talking about shutting down the country. And I think, knowing now what I know … if that was a threat earlier, I would have been much louder about [it].”
The Florida governor has been a critic of anti-coronavirus measures and has refused to reveal whether he received a coronavirus vaccine booster. Earlier this week, former president Donald Trump called out politicians who are keeping their booster vaccine status a secret during an interview with the conservative One America News. Trump, who has been vocal about having received a booster, didn’t mention DeSantis by name but said politicians keeping mum on their booster status are “gutless.”
