DeSantis Targets D.C. Elites: ‘No Accountability. How The Hell Else Does Fauci Still Have A Job?’’

In a wide-ranging speech at a dinner hosted by the Heritage Foundation, Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis took aim at President Biden and other “elites” in Washington D.C., declaring of Biden’s vaccine mandate, “This is fundamentally about an abuse of federal power and unconstitutional use of the federal government. … If the federal government can get away with this, they’re going to get away with a lot more,” adding, “There’s a uni-party in Washington, D.C., and they look out for themselves more than the rest of the American people” and “Nobody’s ever held accountable. If you’re in the club in D.C., there’s no accountability. How the hell else does Fauci still have a job?”

“While other states kept locking people down, Florida kept lifting people up. We did not sub-contract out leadership to Dr. Fauci,” DeSantis asserted. “I resolved in the state of Florida, we would be a free state; we would not allow our state to descend into a Faucian dystopia in which people’s freedoms were curtailed and their livelihoods were ruined”.

“In September, the U.S. reported about 194,000 new jobs nationwide; Florida’s share of that was 84,500 jobs,” DeSantis pointed out. He  promised to try and get legislation enacted which would create an Election, Crimes and Integrity unit to protect against election violations.

He also noted, “We’ll be holding a special session of the Florida legislature next week to make sure that in the state of Florida, nobody has to choose between the jab and their job.”

Speaking of Biden’s vaccine mandate, he opined, “This is absolutely destroying the social fabric in our country. This is causing people to never trust any of these folks ever again. … In reality, what Biden is doing is not even about the vaccines — the vaccines are maybe the issue that’s causing this to come to the fore — but this is fundamentally about an abuse of federal power and unconstitutional use of the federal government. … If the federal government can get away with this, they’re going to get away with a lot more. Next year, maybe it’s something you care about or two years from now. So it’s important that we take a stand; it’s important that we say no. No mandates, no restrictions, we’re not going to let you take away our freedoms.”

DeSantis said that for the first time in history, there are more registered Republicans than Democrats in the state of Florida.

Then he targeted the D.C.
