Ron DeSantis (R) told individuals standing behind him at a press conference they did not need to wear masks, encouraging them to remove them and to stop \u201cCOVID theater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m responsible for him, and I told him to wear that mask. And Governor DeSantis, he\u2019s looking at this adult authority who\u2019s telling him, oh you don\u2019t have to wear the mask,\u201d the maskless mother said as her masked up son stood beside her for the interview.<\/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>Her son was one of several students standing behind the governor ahead of his Wednesday press conference at the University of South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please, take them off,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/02\/this-is-ridiculous-desantis-scolds-masking-theater-ahead-presser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> the individuals as he walked up to the podium ahead of the presser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, it\u2019s not doing anything and we\u2019ve gotta stop with this COVID theater. So if you want to wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>A handful of the individuals then smiled, looked around, and removed their masks as he began.<\/p>\n<p>The student said he was a bit surprised and shocked at DeSantis\u2019s remark, describing the brief comment as an authority figure \u201casking me to do something that I know is probably going to end up being controversial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took mine off,\u201d he said. \u00a0When asked if he felt pressured by the governor, he paused and finally said \u201ca little\u201d as his maskless mother awaited his response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was more of a pressure of an adult figure asking me to do something and it\u2019s just like, all right. Why not,\u201d he added:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I took mine off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you feel pressure by the governor to do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A little.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillsboroughSch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@HillsboroughSch<\/a> senior&#8217;s mom says she&#8217;s very upset and it was &#8220;shocking&#8221; for Gov.

And take off your mask, parents don\u2019t matter, even though I\u2019m telling you parents matter. And he\u2019s telling my minor child to take off his mask?

Notably, Florida has never had a statewide mask mandate in place yet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/26\/florida-reports-lowest-coronavirus-cases-capita-blue-states-surge\/\">enjoyed <\/a>lower coronavirus case rates per capita than pro-restriction blue states for months on end last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo when you start to see them kind of reevaluate or say all this, just understand this.
