Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) has fired back at attempted verbal assaults from the White House. On Friday, DeSantis responded to Joe Biden dismissively referring to him as \u201cgovernor who?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I guess I\u2019m not surprised that Biden doesn\u2019t remember me. I guess the question is what else has he forgotten? Biden\u2019s forgotten about the crisis at the southern border, I can tell you that,\u201d said DeSantis. \u201cBiden\u2019s forgotten about the inflation that\u2019s biting the budgets of families all across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 comments are just the latest in recent days as the White House has been singularly focusing on criticizing the governor.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor has refused to institute mask mandates in schools, contravening official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. He even threatened to defund public schools that forced masks on their staff and students in the state. This opposition to new restrictions and forced masking has not sat well with the White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DeSantis responds to Biden\u2019s \u201cGovernor Who\u201d comment:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not surprised that Biden doesn\u2019t remember me.

Her response was to imply Gov. DeSantis has been doing nothing more than putting kids in danger in order to play politics.<\/p>\n<p>On top of pressure form Washington, Florida is facing lawsuits over the constitutionality of banning forced masks in schools. Meanwhile, DeSantis supporters have praised the governor for standing firm against supposed health officials who have not been honest and forthcoming with citizens and imposed baseless mandates.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/primary-race-against-alaska-sen-murkowski-heats-up\/\">Primary Race Against Alaska Sen.
