Ron&nbsp;DeSantis (R),&nbsp;appearing during a Friday episode of the<em> Ruthless<\/em>&nbsp;variety program, said Dr. Anthony Fauci\u2019s hysteria led to lockdowns at the beginning of the pandemic \u2014 something he did not initially see coming in the early months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a free state in the state of Florida. We are not ever going to let this state defend into some type of Faucian dystopia where your freedoms are infringed, where your jobs are ruined and livelihoods destroyed,\u201d DeSantis said during the episode before detailing one of his proudest decisions as governor, as well as listing one decision he made that he would go back and change if he could.<\/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>\u201cWhen it wasn\u2019t fashionable, when we were taking all the incoming, we made sure that our kids would be in school. They\u2019d be playing sports, and we were not going to take out the fears of adults onto these kids, and we stood our ground on that from the beginning,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think down the line, you\u2019re going to see different social dysfunctions in these other places, and Florida\u2019s going to be a lot healthier,\u201d he said, predicting that decision will wield \u201cyears and years of positive feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked what he would go back and change if he could, DeSantis said he wished he was more aware of the threat of lockdowns in the early months of the pandemic. In the beginning, DeSantis said, he was engaged, urging former President Donald Trump to&nbsp;stop flights from China. However, DeSantis said he \u201cnever thought in February, early March, that it would lead to locking down the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_12027542\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12027542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DeSantis-and-Trump-Getty-Images.png\" alt=\"de santis trump\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Donald Trump talks to Florida Gov.
