Mayor Demings Scolds Ron DeSantis: Take Care of Florida, Not Just Family

Simon Kent 5 Jan 2022

Mayor of Orange County, Jerry Demings (D), turned on Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday, chiding him for being with his wife as she undergoes cancer treatment rather than tending to the needs of his broader constituents at the same time.

Demings said he’d been dealing with the hospitalization of his elderly father and the deaths of family members over the holiday season but had still been able to make public appearances to address coronavirus challenges and long waits for tests, AP reports.

“Yes, there are times when our families may be ill and we have to take care of our families. However, I do believe that you can do both,” Demings said at a news conference. “You can take care of your family and take care of your extended family, the people.”

Last week, Demings criticized DeSantis for not making any public appearances in response to the surging omicron variant. DeSantis has countered by saying he is not being driven by fear in his approach.

Why should the governor of a major state make public appearances because of the seasonal common cold?

Stupid mayor just unleashed a PR disaster on himself  Foregoing support for your cancer stricken wife versus  a presser response around a  disease that now has the lethality of seasonal flu is truly a sick joke.

Funny how only the rat political machine members are Engaged in faux outrage.  No one really sides with their bullshit.  Well except the dung beetles that live in the shit they lay down.  God bless my governor.  Take care of your family.  Us county boys will survive.

Your besmirching of dung beetles is quite a stretch. Gunny Hartman better describes him as nothing but unorganized grab-asstic pieces of amphibian shit!

I think most people (at least those with functioning brains) will understand the Governor’s priorities right now. We are on year 3 of this stupid panic crap. We can figure out long lines, long waits and such.
Florida has the best Governor in the country. Makes me jealous.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Perhaps if Demmings had given better attention to his family, his brother would still be alive.

Preach that sermon in a church Mayor Demings, because no one wants to hear your moral virtue signaling.

Let's see .... in 2022 FL saw nearly 1,000 people a day moving into the state. We also experienced one of the lowest COVID rates in the country and our economy is doing well.

Val needs to understand that our good governor can chew gum and walk at the same time.
