But quite honest, even if he was here, he wouldn\u2019t be doing anything anyhow, and we know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On December 31, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez echoed, \u201cHasn\u2019t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks? If he\u2019s around, I would be happy to say hello. His social media team seems to have been posting old photos for weeks. In the meantime, perhaps I could help with local organizing. Folks are quite receptive here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis fired back at his critics, \u201cI guess I should have been at the beach in Delaware, right? And they would have been really happy with that. We actually put out the schedule, and I think these people didn\u2019t know that. They think because you\u2019re not doing a big press conference you\u2019re not doing [anything],\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFriday, Kevin, Joe and I all had discussions about doing what we\u2019re doing,\u201d DeSantis continued. \u201cCourse, I was down in Miami later. Thursday, in the office working on this and some other stuff. And it\u2019s true: Wednesday there was nothing on the calendar. So I think they\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, my God. He\u2019s on vacation.\u2019 I just looked at my wife and I\u2019m like, \u2018Going to the hospital with you is not a vacation for you, I know that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that as a husband I think I should be doing,\u201d DeSantis declared. \u201cI\u2019ve accompanied her to all her chemotherapy treatments and she\u2019s there for a long time. I\u2019m there most of the time, but it\u2019s a draining thing. When she\u2019s done with it, it\u2019s not something that\u2019s great to see. And so I just think that a lot of people, particularly people who have gone through breast cancer treatments, the notion that that would be considered a vacation is I think offensive to a lot of those folks, and they understand what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He lauded his wife: \u201cAt the same time, she\u2019s committed to not being in the fetal position the whole time. And she\u2019s not through with it, but she\u2019s almost through with it, and I think she\u2019s going to end up good on the other end of it. But that\u2019s just the way she is. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, \u201cAll I can tell you is sometimes we just try to get this stuff done\u2026we don\u2019t do political; we just want to help people with this. But when you\u2019re in the political arena, sometimes you\u2019re fortunate in the enemies that you have. These are folks that are just not shooting straight right now.\u201d<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
