Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been roundly criticized for his handling of the pandemic that's caused a public health crisis in the United States.

DeSantis waited until Wednesday to announce a stay-at-home order for his state of Florida, where the virus is nearing 7,000 cases.


Now, a cruise ship with 190 passengers experiencing flu-like symptoms is desperate to disembark so its passengers can receive medical assistance. So far, four people on the ship have died.

In a time when Republicans are calling for the nation to come together, DeSantis's plan leaves a lot to be desired.

The Governor told reporters:

"We are going to be willing to accept Floridians on board. My understanding is most of the passengers are foreign nationals."

DeSantis went on to say he was worried that providing medical assistance to the ship's passengers would result in hospitals overcrowding.

The remarks were consistent with what DeSantis told Fox News in an interview on Monday:

"We cannot afford to have people who are not even Floridians dumped into South Florida using up those valuable resources."

DeSantis's lack of concern for the hundreds of people aboard the ship didn't sit well with some.





Some considered DeSantis's actions indicative of his party's values.



There are over 1200 people aboard the ship.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
