Ron DeSantis (R) and his state\u2019s vaccination program.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor David Kerner issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2279637960808175466statement_from_mayor_kerner.pdf\">statement<\/a> after CBS\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cbs-deceptively-edits-reporters-interaction-with-fl-governor-ron-desantis-heres-what-he-really-said\">60 Minutes<\/a>\u201d aired a clip of DeSantis rebutting accusations of a pay-to-play scheme between himself and Publix, a supermarket chain common in Florida. CBS edited out almost all of the substance of DeSantis\u2019 response when it aired the exchange between the Republican governor and CBS reporter Sharyn Alfonsi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI watched the \u201960 Minutes\u2019 segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement. The reporting was not just based on bad information \u2013 it was intentionally false,\u201d Kerner wrote. \u201cI know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County\u2019s vaccination efforts and \u201960 Minutes\u2019 declined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know that the governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the county administrator and we asked to expand the state\u2019s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County. We also discussed our own local plans to expand mass vaccinations centers throughout the county, which the Governor has been incredibly supportive,\u201d the mayor continued. \u201cWe asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerner went on to accuse CBS and the media in general for using the pandemic as a wedge to divide Americans along political lines. He also praised DeSantis and his administration for working with Palm Beach County officials to protect its elderly residents who were most at risk of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have confronted this pandemic for over a year. Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. \u201960 Minutes\u2019 should be ashamed,\u201d Kerner said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thank the Governor for supporting the residents of Palm Beach County. Because of his efforts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county \u2013 which is over 75% of the total senior population \u2013have been vaccinated,\u201d he concluded. \u201cI am proud of how our county and state leadership have executed on this important mission, and the results speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Publix has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/publix-democrat-state-official-blast-absolutely-false-and-offensive-cbs-60-minutes-smear-of-desantis\">issued<\/a> a statement refuting Alfonsi\u2019s contention that the supermarket chain donated to DeSantis\u2019 campaign to score a contract to distribute vaccines.<\/p>\n<p>\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,\u201d Publix said. \u201cWe 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<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/cbs-slammed-for-smearing-ron-desantis-on-60-minutes-one-of-the-more-blatant-political-hatchet-jobs\">CBS Slammed For Smearing Ron DeSantis On \u201860 Minutes\u2019: \u2018One Of The More Blatant Political Hatchet Jobs\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\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.
