More outstanding work from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. What a difference from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who’s shutdowns are destroying New York State’s restaurant industry.

WATCH: DeSantis Defends Restaurants, Bars: ‘Some May Want To Shut You Down. We Want To Pull You Up’
Story continues below advertisementBy Daily Wire, December 17, 2020
On Tuesday, speaking at Okeechobee Steakhouse in West Palm Beach, Florida, Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who has withstood barrages of criticism from the political Left for his refusal to implement harsh lockdowns, like many Democratic governors across the nation, asserted that restaurants will stay open in Florida. “We just want to send a message: Some may want to shut you down; we want to pull you up,” he said. “We’ve got your back.”
DeSantis began, “We’re happy to be here at Okeechobee Steakhouse to really send a message that at a time when folks in our service industries, particularly restaurants, lodging, and hospitality, have kind of taken it on the chin, particularly in other states, where they’ve been completely shut down. We just want to send a message: Some may want to shut you down; we want to pull you up. We’ve got your back.”
“If you’re somebody who’s a waitress or a cook or you’re a family-owned business, you’re an important part of our state,” he continued. “You’re working folks, who are working hard to make a living; you have every right to do that. You can take it to the bank in the state of Florida; you’re going to have that right defended by the governor.”
DeSantis turned to some data: “You know, there’s a lot of talk when it comes to COVID about the kind of infections, and tracing and everything, and at the beginning of this, restaurants in particular were singled out as kind of like, this is a place that’s really problematic. Most of the contact tracing that’s been done has restaurants as very low in terms of where these infections can be traced to. New York just did their big one and put it out I think yesterday or the day before, and they had 1.4% of infections traced to restaurants and bars.”

Wow! So nice to see there are elected officials, who will act in the interest of the people they serve. What a concept. That idea is dead in CA, where the evil governor continues to justify lockdowns from his ivory tower.

DeSantis especially deserves backup on this. Especially since, if Biden’s steal holds, he will be especially targeted for blackmail to force his state to shut down everything over the virus, lest the “Sunshine State” lose Federal aid. We know how Obama used Federal aid as a weapon to force states to do his evil bidding whether overrunning borders with illegal or putting women and children in bathrooms in danger from sexual predators, pedophiles, human traffickers, etc.

I wish my state had a Republican governor like Mr. DeSantis. But here in Mask-achusetts, we have Charlie Baker (R-MA)….the (R) stands for RINO, and he is busy trying to destroy not only the restaurant industry, but ALL small business in the state.

That swine is my governor, too. He emulated his buddy Cuomo by seeding the nursing homes with Chinese flu patients thereby killing many nursing home residents.

Saw in Howie Carr’s Sunday Herald that MA is Number 1 in the nation for most nursing home deaths per capita. We had been #1 in highest unemployment for months. Charlie Baker is PROUD to be #1. The rest of the state….not so much.
