DeSantis Is Prioritizing COVID Vaccinations For 'His White Wealthy Donors' | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump would have done the same thing. So happy he’s not our president
@M Williams that’s 100 percent true.
@David Wilson You’re an authority on stupidity. Were you born that way or just the way Democrats turn out?
@Michelle Bussow That’s what your man told you when you got all paranoid.
@Logan Fiive Are there still a few cultists around pushing trump’s lie he made up because he’s a sore loser?
@Octavio Tapatío I think you’re mistaken as it was your daddy beyotch 🥴
Investigate governor and follow the money……homie is corrupted as sin!!
So basically DeSantis is playing “Hunger Games” with the vaccine and the lives of Floridians.
george butler – 🤔😒
@Mr Bob I hope that you’ll be able to get your vaccine if you haven’t yet, I’ll probably have to wait a lot longer.
Nope! He’s gonna let the vaxx do it’s depopulation thang so the rest of us can finally be free of the filthy hoarding parasites!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✌🏼
@Mr Bob What county do you live in everyone Ik that wants a shot got one and I’m black
No. Biden is playing hunger games with shipping containers.
Mean while middle and lower class are paying taxes and are dying doing so with no excess to vaccination,way to go Desatan.😮
@Crimdor It doesn’t give them the right to skip to the front of the line just because they gave donations to DeSantis though. Try again kiddo.
No “excess”?🤦🏻♀️
Too much sodium fluoride and vaxx adjuvants in your brain.
@Loveto ClearClouds Or maybe English wasn’t their first language.
Everyone over 65 has access they aren’t dying low income neighborhoods have great access as well door to door access
Old people are dying. and kids are in cages again.
And yet, non wealthy white people support him
the majority of the ppl at the country club are old.
Bruce Rauner, the politician mentioned in the video that donated 250k, is 65 years old which puts him in the first to be vaccinated category.
Try again kiddo
@Crimdor It doesn’t give them the right to skip to the front of the line just because they gave donations to DeSantis though. Try again kiddo.
YES WE DO!!! And I’m NPA.
Jeremy Backup – have you tried contributing more to society?
Ron DeSantis is the embarrassment of the state of Florida.
@zencat999 Oh, we Floridians are going vote him out Tallahassee in the next gubernatorial race which is in 2022.
@Marcos Juarez no more GOPq
@Jeremy Backup If you are 65 you can get it they aren’t skipping vaccines are available all over here in Florida
We love DeSantis. How long can a couple hundred kids survive when the power goes off to those shipping containers with butterflies on the walls?
@Francis Marion Ron DeSantis is a Trump enabler.
He’s Trump’s little protege.
@David Eby Without Trump, there would be the same or better vaccine, and fewer dead Americans in 2020. Trump denies science. Trump chose and still does spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, rather than beneficial knowledge and organization. The economic impact of covid would have been less, if we’d had a better chief executive in 2020.
Florida didn’t shutdown and didn’t have riots bc DeSantis said he wouldn’t allow it. Can you say the same for Seattle and Portland?
@G Howard also: the sun has continued rising in the east!
@George if Biden’s eyes close anymore, I’d swear his Andes was chinese. Seriously, what’s wrong with his eyes? Is he sick?
@G Howard #troll #bot
The evils of government are directly proportionate to the tolerance of the people…
https://youtu.be/qUAmAES-2o0
DeSantis: 👎 I would like to be a Romsn emperor…
The Romans would have thrown him into the arena. I know which direction my thumb would have been pointing
TRUMP’S PLAYBOOK being used again because “TRUMP’S HISTORY” has showed that there is no consequences for illegal political activity. In a two party system, such illegal activities exposed, can be called as taking revenge, thus nobody follows it to conviction.
@David Eby
If anyone told you that your comments were intelligent, insightful or truthful, they were telling fibs!
@David Eby
Post some evidence of that.
What, you can’t?
Yup.
It’s impossible to post turd nuggets you’ve pulled from Uranus.
Try again, little one.
US is laughing stock of the world
Democrats do but Republicans always cheat and lie their way out, due to Republican corruption in the courts! Republicans are an organized crime syndicate and should not be allowed to run for or hold office just like the Nazi Party…another right wing organization!!!
@Kelly Burket If Republicans can’t hold each other accountable, the American People will.
Sad state of “land of liberty”
New Age Slavery
@Soupy Anderson you are dumb I’m black I live in Florida vaccines are available to everyone. This is just made up politics. Orange County has a black mayor and he said himself that this isn’t accurate vaccines are where they need to be
@Soupy Anderson The facts are the facts you shod Ik see Orange County Mayors response to the allegations he whose wife is a dem rep said it isn’t true
@Soupy Anderson Of course, systemic racism is clearly impacting vaccination.
I only reacted to the original comment claiming corruption was “new age slavery”. I think it’s insensitive to compare trivial things to slavery. Corruption is really bad, just not on the same level. Just a thought.
kids in cages.
@Francis Marion Now that was pretty close to slavery.
DeSantis is just the Floridian version of Trump.
Don’t forget Rick Scott. He’s right there with them.
Yet look at all the screaming about Cuomo. Desantis also lied about the number of cases too.
@m jones girl focus.
And sadly they both reside in Florida, Desantis is getting worse every day.
I thought for a month he was better than Rick Scott,sadly they are both very corrupt and staying loyal to there master
tRump!!
He’s just another Florida Man.
Nobody in America even tries to hide it anymore, this is appalling behavior, why are these people not even investigated ffs.
Never lecture the rest of the world on corruption, fraud, etc etc etc
Not a surprise. Typical GOP corrupt behavior.
I’m not surprised that you believe MSNBC’s biased news.
@Justus if it pains you to hear and accept facts, take your wool and go watch fox.
@Bacondogger why would I go and watch Fox??
Why anyone would want to go to Florida is beyond me,. It sounds like another nest of graft and gangsters,
@Justus Apparently YOU do, as well. And you should. Where else would Right-wingers actually get some REAL news and sense of what’s ACTUALLY taken place in the World? You know, THERE IS A REASON why the Limbaughs, Hannitys and the Levin types mock– not only MSNBC– but CNN and C-SPAN, as well, telling people, such as yourself, NOT to watch those particular networks. But, that aside, apparently YOU’VE made the right choice in watching, as well. As the gang at MSNBC say: ‘Thanks for watching, Justus!” 😉
“Desatan” is doing what “republicons ” do, looking out for his white, wealthy and affluent donors. Meanwhile, people of color and the poor are pushed to the back of the line and left to suffer and die. And it’s done this way because there will be no consequences whatsoever for this behavior. And the good people of Florida will vote for him next election.
Support voter protection by Federal government bill is before congress. Complain about state voter suppression legislation by corrupt GOP.
I feel you. But I believe you are mistaken. See God don’t share his kingdom. And we know how hard it’s for a rich person to enter. And there is that matter of blood line. Mention in Romans 9.4. Just like the people mentioned, in Acts. 13.1. So do you care to revise. You statement. Are shall I go on. Because we have a lot to be grateful for.
This is what happens when you elect Republicans into positions of power.
Kids in cages. Democrats are Nazi’s.
DeSantis, another potential long term resident on club fed with 45 th negative billionaire.
This was predictable, so a roll out procedure that prevented this should have been set up right at the beginning.
If he looks likes a gangster, talks like a gangster, guess what? he’s probably a gangster.
Republicans, ESPECIALLY the poor ones, LOVE being cheated and dominated by incompetent male authority figures.
