Because they hid knowing about an alleged sexual predator since March, told a female LP to get lost when she asked for the same type of money the rest of the grifters were getting, and have basically contradicted their previous 8 years of thought and twitter musings because they don’t like the Orange Man.  Oh, and they were absolutely awful at doing what they set out to do which was change Republican voters minds about Orange Man.  Doesn’t surprise me though given their past election history :D

But yet you vote for and support a known sexual predictor.

Haha, how are those allegations been going lately?  Don’t hear much anymore since he was elected do we?  Weaver has actual physical evidence. Evidence being the key term. 
 

I will change my tune once someone proves the allegations.  BTW...out of curiosity, do you consider Kavanaugh a known sexual predator?

DeathSantis at it again.  If he isn't intimidating data scientists to cook the covid books, he's grifting on the state's vaccine distribution.

 

"Since DeSantis started using the state’s vaccine initiative to steer special pop-up vaccinations to select communities, his political committee has raised $2.7 million in the month of February alone, more than any other month since he first ran for governor in 2018, records show.

 

By hand-selecting the communities, DeSantis allows residents to bypass state and local vaccine registration systems and go directly through their community organizations, like the Medical Center at Ocean Reef.

Last month, a high-end community developed by Republican fundraiser Pat Neal was chosen by DeSantis to host a pop-up vaccination clinic near Bradenton. Only people from two ZIP codes were eligible to receive the vaccine at the Lakewood Ranch site, and names were chosen by Manatee County Commissioner Vanessa Baugh, who included herself on her vaccine selection list."

 

 

A little more to the story than just that disinformation hit piece

This reads like Mario Cuomo telling us how he never meant to offend all those people who accused him of sexual harassment.

 

 

No, it sets the record straight on the Florida Keys attempted hit piece and let’s everyone know the pop up vaccination sites were predominantly in highly Democrat counties.

Sure. And Cuomo set the record straight, too.

 

Fact is, DeSantis assured his donors got the vaccine first. 

 

Florida Keys enclave, home to political donors, received COVID-19 vaccine as rest of state struggled

 

Nearly every elderly resident of an upscale community in the Florida Keys was vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-January, as the rest of the state struggled to obtain vaccines, the Miami Herald reports.

 

A community newsletter obtained by the Herald showed that the majority of the people aged 65 and over living in the Ocean Reef Club community had received vaccinations at the start of the new year.

 

The exclusive Key Largo community is home to many political donors, notably members of the Florida Republican Party who have given money to Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Herald notes.

Health System ran vaccinations vs state run sites.  Kinda important distinction

And who determines how vaccines are distributed? I'll give you a hint:  his name rhymes with Ron DeSantis. 

 

The Herald researched this story quite thoroughly.

DeSantis chose two other Neal developments for pop-up sites in Charlotte and Sarasota counties. Campaign finance data shows that Neal, a former state senator, donated $125,000 to DeSantis’ political committee in 2018 and 2019 but is not reported to have made a contribution since.

DeSantis spokesperson Meredith Beatrice said that the governor was not involved in selecting the Ocean Reef Club for the early vaccine distribution. 

“This was not a state supported senior community POD [point of distribution], nor was it requested by the governor,’’ Beatrice said in an email.
 
The governor’s spokeswoman, Meredith Beatrice, defended the pop-up clinics, telling the Sarasota Herald Tribune last week that of the 15 pop-up clinics targeted to senior communities, nine were in Broward and Palm Beach counties “which are not known for being Republican strongholds.

Like Cuomo, DeSantis (and his spokespeople) deny the allegations. Go figure.

 

Facts are facts, and zip codes that donated BIG money to DeSantis jumped ahead in line. Kinda hard to argue that, no matter who else got the vaccine, too. Looks like DeSantis is trying to cover his tracks. 

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
