SICK: Dems Said DeSantis Was ‘Missing’ or ‘Dead’ From COVID, He Was Actually at Wife’s Cancer Treatment
While several deranged leftists online recently accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of being “missing” or “on vacation,” he was actually accompanying his wife’s breast cancer treatment.
Over the last few days, several leftist media pundits and deranged liberals online insisted that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was “missing” or “on vacation,” in what appears to be an attempt to trash the highly popular Republican as the state deals with rising COVID-19 cases.
In actuality, he was accompanying his wife’s breast cancer treatment.
Leftist MSNBC host Joy Reid said DeSantis was a “governor, not governing during a crisis; and sunning his belly on vacation instead,” going further to call him “the Nero of Ted Cruzes.”

Trending:
“And that of course is if he is indeed on vacation, which remains unclear…” Reid tweeted on December 30.
The radical leftist Really American PAC tweeted that DeSantis was “missing in action.”
“RT if you wouldn;t mind much if Ron DeSantis remained missing,” Really American PAC said in the now-deleted tweet.
Even Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nikki Freid capitalized on the Governor’s unfortunate situation, ostensibly attempting to score political points while DeSantis was away with his sick wife.
Is this type of speculation from pundits and politicians appropriate?
“As COVID surges in Florida again, our governor is absent. So here I am doing his job and mine with an update,” Freid tweeted on December 29.

Some suggested that DeSantis was “hiding” from the public “while cases skyrocket.”
Did nobody teach Ron DeSantis the common sense saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”??
He promoted antibody injections after people get infected over vaccines that prevent serious illness and death.
Now he’s hiding out while cases skyrocket.#WhereIsRon

One of the more far fetched and conspiratorial claims was that DeSantis was secretly dead or hospitalized.
“Oh look someone posted this to Ron’s acct to make it seem like he is alive and well,” tweeted user @tify330.
Cliff Schecter tweeted “Right on schedule the GOP’s hitting its Soviet Phase – Instead of simply refusing to share info, GOP leaders like Ron DeSantis start pulling the Yuri Andropov, and just…disappearing. Sick? Dead? In Baku aquiring corrupt interests in Azerbaijan oil leases? Who knows!??”

DeSantis announced in October that his wife had been diagnosed with breast cancer, saying at the time that “the mother of three young children” is the “centerpiece of our family and has made an impact on the lives of countless Floridians through her initiatives as first lady.”
Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks?
If he’s around, I would be happy to say hello. His social media team seems to have been posting old photos for weeks.
In the meantime, perhaps I could help with local organizing. Folks are quite receptive here 🙂 https://t.co/LmmqT8eLDh

Kyle Lamb, DeSantis’ communications staffer, responded to critics on Twitter earlier who were accusing the Governor of being on vacation.
“Just FYI, @GovRonDeSantis is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is,” Lamb tweeted yesterday.
Just FYI, @GovRonDeSantis is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is. Anyone pushing that could have easily seen the public schedule and seen that he’s taking calls and meetings this past week. Not having public events does not = “vacation”
