CBS then deceptively cut out nearly all of DeSantis\u2019 response to her in which he answered her question and defused the central point of the segment, and instead published only the very end of their interaction when he cut her off after she seemed to ignore the answer that he gave. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/publix-democrat-state-official-blast-absolutely-false-and-offensive-cbs-60-minutes-smear-of-desantis\">A Democrat came to DeSantis\u2019 defense<\/a> as did the company that was involved in the segment.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous commentators and political figures slammed \u201c60 Minutes\u201d over the segment, with some calling it among the worst segments they\u2019ve ever seen in terms of being blatantly dishonest.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the top responses to the segment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Alicia_Smith19\/status\/1378885388362788868\">Alicia Smith<\/a>, political commentator: \u201cThe DeSantis 60 minutes piece was one of the more blatant political hatchet jobs in the past couple years and that\u2019s saying something. Selectively editing videos and omitting evidence just to conjure up a predetermined narrative isn\u2019t journalism, it\u2019s tabloid fodder. And nobody at 60 mins will pay a price for this. Nobody will be forced to apologize, be asked why they selectively edited an interview, or why they omitted key pieces of the vaccine decision. It will just be repeated by other outlets as a statement of fact. Mission accomplished.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MZHemingway\/status\/1378853564014026753\">Mollie Hemingway<\/a>, Hillsdale Senior Journalism Fellow: \u201c60 Minutes ignores deadly scandals with Cuomo and Newsom in order to try to invent one with DeSantis. (Gasp: large grocery chain gives political contributions!) The FL Governor\u2019s real crime? Not following the hysterical lead of the propaganda press, thereby making them look bad.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/publix-democrat-state-official-blast-absolutely-false-and-offensive-cbs-60-minutes-smear-of-desantis\">Jared Moskowitz<\/a>, former Democrat lawmaker and current director of Florida\u2019s Division of Emergency Management: \u201c@60Minutes I said this before and I\u2019ll say it again. @Publix was recommended by [FL Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Dept. Health] as the other pharmacies were not ready to start. Period! Full Stop! No one from the Governor[\u2018]s office suggested Publix. It\u2019s just absolute malarkey.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/publix-democrat-state-official-blast-absolutely-false-and-offensive-cbs-60-minutes-smear-of-desantis\">Publix<\/a>: \u201cThe irresponsible suggestion that there was a connection between campaign contributions made to Governor DeSantis and our willingness to join other pharmacies in support of the state\u2019s vaccine distribution efforts is absolutely false and offensive. We are proud of our pharmacy associates for administering more than 1.5 million doses of vaccine to date and for joining other retailers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia to do our part to help our communities emerge from the pandemic.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NumbersMuncher\/status\/1378898361395318788\">Josh Jordan<\/a>, statistician: \u201cThe full, unedited answer from DeSantis certainly gives a lot of details that were edited out of the 60 Minutes interview. I realize they have to edit for time, but the edited clip below intentionally leaves out context on why Publix was chosen.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emilyelarsen\/status\/1378917946920173569\">Emily Brooks<\/a>, reporter, on CBS News claiming they \u201cobtained\u201d publicly available campaign finance records: \u201c\u2018Obtained by 60 Minutes?\u2019 It\u2019s public record. I found this info in less than two minutes. That\u2019s not the kind of language outlets normally\/should use for info posted publicly \u2014 more for documents that sources give reporters\/outlets. Super weird and pretentious phrasing.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/davidharsanyi\/status\/1379052381162328064\">David Harsanyi<\/a>, writer: \u201cFlorida\u2019s governor distributing vaccines to the largest supermarket chain in his state is a scandal for the same network that gave Cuomo a dozen glowing segments after he sent a bunch of old people to die. It\u2019s just unbearable.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattdizwhitlock\/status\/1378857885527064580\">Matt Whitlock<\/a>, political strategist: \u201cCuomo killed thousands of seniors, covered it up, and has been accused of serial inappropriate behavior And we\u2019ve got 60 Minutes arguing DeSantis decided to distribute vaccines through the most trusted grocery store in the state\u2026 because campaign donations.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScottJenningsKY\/status\/1378869668455329793\">Scott Jennings<\/a>, CNN analyst: \u201cIf DeSantis is GOP nom in \u201824 and\/or elected POTUS, the outrageously dishonest targeting of him by the national media will be a major reason why\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
