You\u2019re bashing us because we\u2019re not doing your draconian policies and yet we\u2019re the first place you want to flee to, to basically be able to enjoy life.\u2019 And so I\u2019m not surprised to see that continue to happen. I could tell you, there are probably about a half-dozen governors who had restrictions on their people and then were spotted at various points in Florida. Some of it\u2019s been public; some of it\u2019s not been public, but you know, people tell me these things and so these things are spotted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so that\u2019s just the reality that we\u2019re dealing with,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m happy, though, that Florida\u2019s a place where people know that they can come and they can live like normal people; they can make their own decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/ocasio-cortez-caught-partying-in-miami-without-mask-rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me\/\">reported<\/a> on Monday:<\/p>\n<p><em>Rep.
