Florida @GovRonDeSantis, asked about state reopening, pointed to Trump& #39;s briefings: "You go back a week or two and he was being badgered by the press there for & #39;Why aren& #39;t you shutting down these states.& #39; And he said, & #39;Oh, no, it& #39;s their decision.& #39; It& #39;s one or the other."
He said once the WH lifts mitigation guidelines, "What& #39;s going to happen is, you& #39;re going to have people move in that direction. You& #39;re going to see states inevitably follow, because one or two states does it, you know, the other states are kind of going to be at a disadvantage."
And he criticized some governors for going too far, like fining people for going to a drive-through church service: "You cannot deny someone a constitutional right if what they& #39;re doing has no impact whatsoever on this infection. "Some of this stuff I think is petty tyranny."
DeSantis: "We do need to support content, especially like sports and events. Now, we& #39;re not going to have crowds there. If NASCAR does a race and can televise it without large crows, I think that& #39;s a good thing. I& #39;d like to see Woods and Michelson do the golf..."
"...because that& #39;s social distance."
"I think people have been starved for content," DeSantis said.
