Byron Donalds (R-FL)&nbsp;told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview that \u201cFlorida does it right, and Washington,&nbsp;we\u2019re trying to help them get it right\u201d when it comes to the Chinese coronavirus, among other issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida does it right, and Washington, we\u2019re trying to help them get it right, because what we\u2019ve seen in the last ten months, 11 months, has been a disaster, and everybody knows it,\u201d Donalds told&nbsp;Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow last week at Turning Point USA\u2019s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s even no need to detail all the problems anymore, because we\u2019ve seen how disastrous this is,\u201d the congressman added. \u201cSo you pick whatever part of society you want to talk about, things are not going well in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Donalds added that the problems the United States faces today is what happens when policies are followed \u201cthat&nbsp;divide Americans, that put Americans into groups, as opposed to&nbsp;accentuating individuality of all people, accentuating their humanity, allowing them to be their best person, giving them the freedom from government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marlow noted that Washington, DC, is \u201cinsisting on more mandates, insisting on more limitations of mobility depending on things like vaccination status, they still want us to have masks on,\u201d and that \u201cin Florida, you guys haven\u2019t had masks in over a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is not the science. The problem is politics,\u201d Donalds said. \u201cWe have people who are making political decisions opposed to scientific ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The congressman went on to say that when it comes to the coronavirus, \u201cthere are treatments available, people can go get vaccinated if that\u2019s what they choose to do, there are people who have natural immunity, like myself, T cell, B cell immunity, they have that memory, their body knows how to fight this thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to understand that it\u2019s time to move past \u2014 not just saying the virus is over, we beat it, that\u2019s irresponsible \u2014 but studies are showing the vast majority of people get over COVID and they move on with their lives,\u201d Donalds said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo let\u2019s actually start moving into that mindset in America, as opposed to being like, \u2018Oh my gosh, we got a case spike, we have to lock down again, we have to start closing again, we have to limit businesses again,\u2019 because business owners can\u2019t take much more of this. Our economy can\u2019t take much more of this. Kids in school, they can\u2019t take much more of this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Marlow mentioned that he noticed Florida \u201cnever took the approach that we\u2019re going to beat the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou took the approach \u2014 try to curtail it as much as we can, and then let people make their own choices, and history is looking very good on that,\u201d Marlow said. \u201cAnd we\u2019re still not seeing Washington adopt that approach. Maybe Joe Biden will finally pivot to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/27\/joe-biden-off-to-beach-admitting-no-federal-solution-coronavirus\/\">admitted<\/a> in a video call with U.S. governors that \u201cthere is no federal solution\u201d&nbsp;to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><em>You can follow Alana&nbsp;Mastrangelo on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and Twitter at&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
