100% unconstitutional<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TRANSCRIPT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
REPORTER: Governor, the president had a lot to say yesterday, and he didn\u2019t say your name, but obviously was referring to you, what you have to say to him that when it came to about the mask mandates?<\/em><\/p>
RON DESANTIS, GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA: Well I would just say generally when you\u2019re taking action that\u2019s unconstitutional, that threatens the jobs of the people in my state, many, many thousands of jobs, I\u2019m standing for them. We\u2019re going to protect their jobs against federal overreach. This is a guy who criticizes the state of Florida for protecting parents\u2019 rights. He says school boards should be able to eliminate parents\u2019 rights and force five-year-old kids to wear masks all day. That\u2019s what he thinks is appropriate government. Yet, here he comes from Washington, D.C. instituting an unprecedented mandate, which even his own people have acknowledged in the past is not constitutional. That\u2019s not leadership.<\/em><\/p>
And I think the problem I have with Joe Biden, more than anything, this guy doesn\u2019t take responsibility for anything. He\u2019s always trying to blame other people, blame other states. This is a guy that promised when he ran for president, that he would shut down the virus. If you look now there\u2019s 300% more cases in this country today than a year ago when we had no vaccines at all. So his policies are not working.<\/em><\/p>
He\u2019s doubling down on things that are going to be very destructive for the livelihoods of many, many Americans, and obviously going to be destructive to our constitutional system and the rule of law. And so these are times when you believe in that constitution, you got to stand up. And obviously the substantive issues\u2019 important because there are places that are going to toss aside people who\u2019ve worked, they\u2019ve worked this whole time throughout COVID, now all of a sudden they should be tossed aside? They were working when nobody had vaccine, you don\u2019t know their history, you don\u2019t know why they\u2019re making decisions that they\u2019re making. Many of these people have already recovered and they have immunity. The idea that somehow you have somebody that gets a Johnson and Johnson, they can work, but someone that\u2019s got natural immunity somehow can\u2019t?<\/em><\/p>
That natural immunity is strong. So it\u2019s not based on science. And you can say, he\u2019s saying, he\u2019s losing patience with people. You know, at the end of the day, we don\u2019t live with a one person rule in this country. We live in a constitutional system, which people\u2019s rights are respected, but particularly in this juncture, their livelihoods and their jobs have to be protected. I mean, just think about, you know, what this mandate would do. It\u2019s going to drive people out of work, out of hospitals, out of all this stuff where you have a need for people. So it\u2019s totally counterproductive, and I think it will ultimately lose in court. But before that there needs to be action taken to protect the people of our state and hopefully the entire United States. Nobody should lose their job based on this decision.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
