I see why you guys love him so much.

...Or is that down the road for you?
Those kids were trying to make a political statement with visual messaging right behind DeSantis as he gave his speech. The "kid" (who looks like an adult to me - they are college students sending political messages to the world) was even smiling as he took the mask off. He also said that "if you want to wear it fine, but we have to stop with the COVID theater...this is ridiculous".(paraphrase).
Are you really so programmed that you can be triggered so easily? This was very obviously an planned event with cameras ready and twitter promotion ready. But i love what he said - and I have said it to you and the other libs here for quite a while...the COVID theater has got to stop.
Has DeSantis called YOU a racist for disagreeing with his political agenda?

happened ,right? Probably scarred them so much, they'll grow up to be Democrats.

...as was the case with ACB after the Kavanaugh fiasco, you libs can't over-demonize the person after Trump without looking completely stupid (to even yourselves).
Your being maneuvered with planned ambushes to Twitter episodes like this for the big villification to come....but even you are leary of taking it that far.
These aren't "kids" by the way. They are political activists who were trying to ambush DeSantis with a bad look. The guy in the background was laughing about it...so obviously he wasn't traumatized.
agenda told them to put them on.
Stop blaming others for his punk attitude.

As much as you love the masks, I can see why you were offended.
for their ideology.
Shoe, find right foot.
With Liberals professors and has always handled them with respect. My son, he is snarky and an ass (just like me). I couldn’t be more proud of both of them and how they have matured in this messed up society.

The day before the SOTU was a coincidence? You think all the mandates being dropped now in time for the midterms is a coincidence? Come on Jim, even you aren’t that dumb.
It is trending on twitter.
The fact that an innocuous exchange can send progressives in such a tizzy is freakin' awesome.
The fear of DeSantis is telling.

Listen you little punks. Lemme tell ya about the time I bested a bunch of masked wearing Injuns in the Red River Valley! It was Ought 6 and Der Kaiser had just declared war on Detroit. It was summer time, with snow up to my antlers! Plumb outta guacamole my guide Tyrone and I survived on rations of dung beetles and fiddlesticks! Now! Take 'em off!
But I agree. Kind of a dickish move by the guv'ner.

Getting in touch with your inner Liberal? Can I get you a participation award for that post?
Listen. I don't necessarily disagree with the guv. Simply saying the manner of the delivery seemed uncalled for. If he was annoyed with something it should have been handled before he took the ol' stage. To put the kiddos on blast looked bad.
Go back to knitting beaver pelts into undies and eating berries now!
Behind him with masks on. He would have gotten the Stacey Abrams treatment. I love that direct/snarky approach to things. It how I was raised.
His people should have made it clear that:
(1) There would be no mask donning or removals in his presence (the optics of that are awful--either way...so if a kid wants to wear a mask he can, and if he doesn't he can go mask free, but no switching in his presence), and
(2) No pictures with masked kids out of respect for their obvious worry about their own susceptibility to covid or the susceptibility of their family.
Brow beating kids to jam his opinion onto the day. Using his position to make them feel guilty.

He would come to my kids college and do the same. They are still clutching their pearls over masks in certain areas.

No one else had them on is me being selfish. You’re an idiot and keep on proving it.

You guys never would give people options. It was just your way or we were killing others, right?
to take their masks off, or not.
We know what he said and how he said it and what his desired results were.
It’s always a treat when you play the dumb card.

their freedom. We debate about masks. Has this country gotten soft or what?

thought I was logging it. It was stupid and he shouldn’t have done that. It was two a days in August in Miami. I could have died. But guess what never did that again.
You see some like to grow their young men to be pussies now. What can I say.
Hard on you during practice. We need more of that in America right now rather than worrying about offending everyone.

Obviously you’re not a fan of honesty but we need more of it. We had a President walk across the WH lawn yesterday in a mask by himself and then show up to the SOTU last night without one. I’ll take DeSantis being honest every day of the week.
Being upset about telling kids to take useless masks off is a perfect example.
Woohoo!
It’s a joke that they still had them on and he was obviously frustrated with it. Rightfully so after seeing all the scumbag politicians sitting together without them last night.

One on in the first place. I have no problem with his words or actions. We actually need more of that brutal honesty rather than continuing to play politics with this issue.

Crew have tried telling people what to do with masks and vaccines from day one and now you’re offended when DeSantis does this. It is political theater and was proven so last night. Anyone still holding onto masks right now are just plan paranoid.
