New York Democrat Congresswoman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez was the subject of a controversy over the new year weekend for partying maskless in Miami as coronavirus cases were continually increasing in her home state of New York.
The state of New York has some of the strictest mask and vaccine mandate laws, that AOC fully supports, and yet she was seen on a number of occasions not following the very same laws in the free state of Florida.
AOC has also previously called out Florida Republican Governor Ron Desantis’ leadership accused him of “playing politics with COVID” despite Florida reporting the lowest COVID cases in the country, unlike New York.
Many called out AOC’s hypocrisy of criticizing Gov. DeSantis’ handling of COVID and at the same time, chasing his state to celebrate her New Year’s weekend.
At the same time, AOC was celebrating her New Year weekend, she took the time to accuse Governor DeSantis of “missing” and not performing his gubernatorial duties. Gov. DeSantis, unlike AOC, was spending his weekend with his wife while she was receiving cancer treatment.
Gov. DeSantis appeared on Fox News’ Hannity on Monday to respond to the far-left radical congresswoman’s accusations.
“When people try to say that that’s a vacation, I think anyone that’s gone through those treatments, would not agree that chemotherapies are a vacation. My wife has had to go through that. I’ve accompanied her to all those treatments, trying to be a supportive husband. And so, so that’s what we’re doing on the one day where I didn’t have anything on my public calendar because it is a private matter.” He said.
“If people are going to lie, we’re going to fight back. And I can tell you when you have people like that, Congresswoman, who ripped Florida because we’re open, who say you need lockdown policies, and then the first chance they get they come running down to my state, if I had a dollar for every ‘lockdown’ politician that’s done that over the last two years. I’d be awfully wealthy right now.” He added.
