CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 8,2021
JUST WHEN WE NEED SOMEONE WITH BACKBONE IN GOVERNMENT AND NOT THE WEENIES WE
HAVE, ALONG COMES FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS. AFTER PRESIDENT BIDEN REBUKED FLORIDA
AND TEXAS FOR ITS CHOICE POLICY ON VACCINES AND MASKS AND SAID THEY SHOULD GET OUT OF THE
WAY IF THEY WON’T IMPOSE CDC AND GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES, DESANTIS RESPONDED: “ I THINK THE
QUESTION IS, WE CAN EITHER HAVE A FREE SOCIETY, OR WE CAN HAVE A BIOMEDICAL SECURITY
STATE….WE’RE A FREE STATE; PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE FREE TO CHOOSE, TO MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISIONS…ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES (AND) THEIR KIDS’ EDUCATION…
“JOE BIDEN SUGGESTS IF YOU DON’T DO LOCKDOWN POLICIES, THEN YOU SHOULD ‘GET OUT OF
THE WAY.’. LET ME TELL YOU THIS: IF YOU’RE COMING AFTER THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS IN FLORIDA, I’M
STANDING IN YOUR WAY. I’M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITH IT.
HE CONTINUED: “IF YOU’RE TRYING TO DENY KIDS A PROPER EDUCATION, I’M GONNA STAND IN YOUR
WAY AND STAND-UP FOR THE KIDS IN FLORIDA. IF YOU’RE GOING TO RESTRICT PEOPLE, IMPOSE
MANDATES; IF YOU’RE TRYING TO RUIN THEIR JOBS AND THEIR LIVELIHOODS…AND LOCK PEOPLE DOWN…
I’M STANDING IN YOUR WAY. SO WHY DON’T YOU DO YOUR JOB? WHY DON’T YOU GET THIS BORDER
SECURE? AND UNTIL YOU DO THAT I DON’T WANT TO HEAR A BLIP ABOUT COVID FROM YOU.” THANK YOU.”
THANK YOU GOVERNOR DESANTIS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
