It\u2019s interesting though, the reception that some of these folks will get in Florida. Because I think a lot of Floridians will say \u2018Wait a minute, 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 to be able to enjoy life. And so I\u2019m not surprised to see that continue to happen,\u201d he added, apparently responding to the viral photos of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) vacationing in Florida over the New Year\u2019s holiday \u2014 even as her constituents faced a record-breaking spike of COVID-19 cases back in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI could tell you, I mean, there probably be about half a dozen governors who had restrictions on their people and then were spotted at various points in Florida.
