Ron DeSantis responded to a deceptively edited interview that CBS\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes\u201d aired Sunday by noting that even Democrats in the state have come to his defense.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 response, which he made during a Monday interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, came after \u201c60 Minutes\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/04\/05\/dem-florida-mayor-60-minutes-hit-on-desantis-not-just-based-on-bad-information-it-was-intentionally-false\/\">claimed<\/a> in a statement that they edited out the majority of DeSantis\u2019 remarks during an exchange with their reporter for the sake of \u201cclarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLost in this is, we vaccinated now three and a half million senior citizens,\u201d DeSantis said last night. \u201cWe were the first state to say we\u2019re doing seniors first. We\u2019re not going to follow the CDC\u2019s recommendation. And what we have done has worked. And they didn\u2019t want to discuss that. And obviously they selectively edited the background. They tried to act like there was a conspiracy with Publix, ignoring the fact that other pharmacies were involved before Publix, doing all our long-term care facilities and ignoring the fact that I met with the county mayor, who\u2019s now as a Democrat, who said what \u201960 Minutes\u2019 has done is bunk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPalm Beach calculated 90 percent of their seniors live within a mile and a half of a Publix,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cSo when we put it in there, their numbers started going through the roof. So it succeeded there. But what they didn\u2019t tell you also, Tucker, is when there was a need in a more rural part of the county, like near Lake Okeechobee, we set up a separate site in a small town called Pahokee. They didn\u2019t tell you that, they didn\u2019t tell you that we were doing African American church vaccination drives before Publix ever gave a single shot. They didn\u2019t tell you that. They didn\u2019t tell you that hospitals were doing shots starting in the third week of December because it didn\u2019t fit the narrative. They don\u2019t believe in facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis said that the segment was \u201cdone with malicious intent and a reckless disregard for the truth\u201d and that they \u201cjust put their head in the sand and pretended\u201d like the facts that he highlighted \u201cdidn\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis highlighted how two Democrats\u2014Jared Moskowitz, Mayor Dave Kerner\u2014came to his defense and shot down the hit piece from CBS.<\/p>\n<p>\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,\u201d Moskowitz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/publix-democrat-state-official-blast-absolutely-false-and-offensive-cbs-60-minutes-smear-of-desantis\">tweeted<\/a>. \u201cPeriod! Full Stop! No one from the Governor[\u2018]s office suggested Publix. It\u2019s just absolute malarkey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fl-democratic-mayor-60-minutes-ran-intentionally-false-report-on-desantis-omitted-info-that-kneecaps-their-narrative\">said<\/a> in a statement that the \u201c60 Minutes\u201d segment \u201cwas not just based on bad information \u2013 it was intentionally false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County\u2019s vaccination efforts and \u201960 Minutes\u2019 declined,\u201d Kerner continued. \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. We asked and he delivered. They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u201960 Minutes\u2019 should be ashamed,\u201d Kerner&nbsp; concluded. \u201cI thank the Governor for supporting the residents of Palm Beach County. Because of his effo1ts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county\u2014which is over 75% of the total senior population\u2014have been vaccinated. I 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>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DeSantis hits back at &#039;deceptively edited&#039; &#039;60 Minutes&#039; &#039;hit piece&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IYx56qCM1ik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\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.
