Let's see...What is it you lefties always say? Oh, right. F**E NEWS!

They can do a better job distributing the v*****e than the government.

What about CA? Newsome tapped CVS, Rite-Aid, and a few supermarkets to distribute the v*****e now because the state government was inept at the v*****e rollout. This is why the v*****e is now in millions of arms.

I notice you get all your news from Yahoo. 1) that leaves you way behind on most current news, and 2) Yahoo has a very bias slant toward leftism. Try reading some reliable sources of news for a change instead of relying on one single source.

You could have gone just a bit deeper and posted the original source of the story;

So, maybe they’d have gotten the deal one way or the other. Chain stores and other businesses often donate to the governor or senator, etc.

Can’t get Trump off your mind because he did a great job and you wish he’d come back.

Florida Democrats Defend DeSantis
In one heated exchange, a reporter pressed Gov. Ron DeSantis on the use of Publix stores to administer v*****es, claiming the fact that Publix contributed $100,000 to his political action committee before the chain was chosen could be seen as evidence of a “pay-for-play” scheme.

DeSantis called the allegation “a f**e narrative,” offering a lengthy explanation of what had unfolded. It included state officials reaching out to pharmacies besides CVS and Walgreens because those two companies were tasked with delivering v*****es to long-term care facilities. Publix was the first to say it was ready for the second set of distribution and administration.
DeSantis also said he visited four different Publix stores during a trial run and found feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and that he solicited advice from Palm Beach officials.
“Here some of the options: We can do more drive-through sites, we can give more to hospitals, we can do the Publix, we can do this. They calculated that 90 percent of their seniors live within a mile and a half of a Publix. And they said, ‘We think that would be the easiest thing for our residents,'” he said.

Jared Moskowitz, a former Democratic state senator who now runs the state Division of Emergency Management, said in a tweet on April 4 that Publix was recommended by his agency, “as the other pharmacies were not ready to start.”
“No one from the Governor's office suggested Publix. It’s just absolute malarkey,” he wrote.

In a statement on April 5, Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner, also a Democrat, said the “60 Minutes” reporting was “intentionally false.”
“I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s v******tion efforts and 60 minutes declined,” he said, adding that he and other officials asked the governor to expand the state’s partnership with Publix, not the other way around.
“We asked and he delivered,” Kerner wrote. “They had that information, and they left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.”
“Seniors were prioritized for the v*****e, DeSantis was criticized for breaking from CDC and he turned out to be right,” Florida GOP Vice Chairman Christian Ziegler said in a tweet. “Now, in the name of 2024, the media is generating a new narrative to attack.”

You don't really think they will read this, do you? The signs and signals to the t***h are all there, but l*****ts never lets the t***h interrupt their own narrative. They have real problems recognizing blatant t***h and responding accordingly because they so want to keep everyone in a high state of angst. It's the only way they can wrestle control from the citizens. They lie, lie, lie!

Carol Kelly

My son -in-law says never let the t***h get in the way of a good story!

People who just listen to f**e news outlets spew the same rhetoric! Sad but true! I am neither a Dem or Republican...as an Independent I choose to listen to EVERYTHING on ALL SIDES! As a resident of Florida I know precisely what occurred! YOU DO NOT‼️

Another progressive/MSM lie. Already completely proven false. I wonder if 60 minutes will win a pulitzer for printing known lies, like the NY Times did.
