Trump Loving Governor Throws White House Under the Bus When Asked Why He Hasn't Issued a Stay at Home Order

Governors and other local leaders across the country have issued stay-at-home orders to their constituents in hopes of curbing the spread of the highly contagious virus that's caused a national health crisis in the United States.

But not every governor has followed this example.


Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has been under criticism for weeks for his failure to issue a statewide stay-at-home order and for letting Florida's beaches remain open during spring break.

Florida is now nearing 7,000 cases statewide,

When pressed again about his refusal to issue a stay-at-home order, DeSantis pointed to the White House, saying:

"The task force is not recommending this. If they do, that's something that would carry a lot of weight with me."

People widely thought DeSantis was attempting to pass blame onto the White House.





At a Tuesday press briefing on the virus, President Donald Trump was asked about DeSantis's comments.

Trump responded by praising DeSantis for his so-called leadership, saying he's a "great governor who knows exactly what he's doing."

Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence commended DeSantis while emphasizing that these orders are managed at the state level, not by the federal government—essentially tossing the ball back to him.

It only led to more confusion.


People were flummoxed at why DeSantis was waiting for permission from the federal government, when the federal government said it was letting states defer to their own judgment.


Totally not inconsistent at all.

MTG Epically Melts Down Over 'Nasty' Journalists Who Claim She's Beefing With Trump

After media outlets reported on Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticism of President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, Greene lashed out at journalists she claims are promoting the "fake narrative" that she's splitting from him after being one of his biggest supporters in Congress.

Earlier this week, she said that "when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," stressing that she "campaigned for no more foreign wars" and yet had to respond because "now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran."
