CBS and 60 Minutes tried to take out Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The hit piece backfired in a major way.

And now Ron DeSantis shredded 60 Minutes’ hit piece with one devastating truth bomb.

CBS tried to fabricate a scandal about Governor DeSantis awarding Publix a contract to distribute the coronavirus vaccine in Palm Beach County after Publix donated $100,000 to his campaign.

The hit piece collapsed after it came out that CBS deceptively edited DeSantis’ answers in a press conference and two key Democrats stepped up to call CBS’ story false and explain that they were the ones who recommended using Publix.

After CBS was exposed as smear merchants and liars, DeSantis stayed on offense hammering the 60 Minutes story in a press conference calling the lie filled story a “piece of horse manure.”

“They cut out everything that showed that their narrative was a piece of horse manure. And it shows you how dishonest — These are smear merchants. That’s why nobody trusts corporate media. They are a disaster in what they are doing. They knew what they were doing was a lie. I knew what they were doing was a lie. Everybody here knows what they were doing was a lie. They know that we know that they’re lying and yet they continue to lie. And they lied, and they lied, and they lied,” DeSantis stated.

DeSantis added that he would not stop attacking CBS and other corporate-controlled media outlets that lied about him because DeSantis declared these “smear merchants” needed to be “held accountable.”

“We offered them the information and they declined to interview the key people because they didn’t want to let go of the narrative. Well, guess what? There’s going to be consequences for that. I know the corporate media thinks they can run over people, you ain’t running over this Governor. I’m punching back and I’m going to continue to do it until these smear merchants are held accountable,” DeSantis added.

The Fake News Media has tried to paint DeSantis as the villain of the coronavirus because he rejected their mask mandates and lockdown voodoo, and in the end Florida performed better than big blue states like California and New York.

DeSantis’ star was already on the rise in the GOP, but Republicans noticed how much the Left must consider DeSantis a threat by how ferociously the media attacks him.

Republicans are getting tired of Democrat Party activists posing as reporters.

Donald Trump’s Presidency taught the GOP that you don’t have to accept their nonsense.

And Republicans cheered when Ted Cruz just shut down a liberal reporter with one blunt truth.

During a press availability with a number of his fellow GOP Senators, Ted Cruz put a mask-shaming reporter in his place by turning the tables on the “follow the science trope” that liberals love so much.

When Cruz stepped up to the mic, some busybody reporter demanded he wear a mask.

Cruz explained that he would not because he was talking into a camera and he – as well as the other GOP Senators he was with – was fully vaccinated.

The reporter then claimed it would make everyone “feel better” if Cruz donned a mask.

At that point Cruz shot back that the reporter was welcome to back up but fully vaccinated individuals are not likely to catch or spread the coronavirus so Cruz was just following the science.

REPORTER: “Would you mind putting on a mask for us?”

CRUZ: “Yeah, when I’m talking to the TV camera, I’m not going to wear a mask. All of us have been immunized.”

REPORTER: “It’d make us feel better.”

CRUZ: “You’re welcome to step away if you’d like.” pic.twitter.com/0d0rvz0OAJ

This exchange summed up the frustration millions of Americans have with Democrat Governors and so-called “public health experts”.

Their pronouncements about mask wearing even after being vaccinated are not based on any science.

As Rand Paul famously told Dr. Fauci that the calls for vaccinated Americans to wear masks is just theater.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is mired in scandal.

That didn’t stop the so-called “mainstream” media from slobbering all over him for a year.

And the media is finally beginning to admit they were dead wrong about one Republican Governor.

While New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was showered with praise and even an Emmy for his COVID-19 briefings, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was smeared as a grandma killer – while Cuomo was actually busy killing grandmas with his disastrous nursing home order.

However, it’s difficult to argue with results, and even the corporate-controlled press is beginning to reverse course on how they view DeSantis’s handling of the coronavirus.

Axios wrote, “After a solid year of living with a pandemic, the national press is beginning to ask the question that even Democrats have been quietly pondering in the Sunshine State: Was Gov. Ron DeSantis’ pandemic response right for Florida?”

The unequivocal answer is yes.

Despite having the second most aged population in the country (only behind Maine), Florida’s case fatality rate was comparable with California, which has the youngest population in the country.

California instituted some of the strictest lockdowns in the country while Florida largely remained open.

The New York Times begrudgingly admitted of Florida that “Much of the state has a boomtown feel . . . a sense of making up for months of lost time.”

Florida’s unemployment rate is 5.1%, compared to 9.3% in California and 8.7% in New York.

And New York had the second worst mortality rate in the country (only behind New Jersey), and one of the worst mortality rates in the world.

Left-leaning POLITICO admitted, “With a COVID death count cover-up consuming New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a pandemic-related recall effort haunting California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Republicans are embracing DeSantis as a red-state exemplar.”

DeSantis defied the establishment approach of locking down firmly and indefinitely.

Florida schools also remained open, allowing students not to lose an entire year of development.

Meanwhile, California is being bulldozed by the Stalinist teachers unions, and the kids are being made to suffer.

If Donald Trump doesn’t run again in 2024, DeSantis is building a strong Presidential résumé.

The corporate-controlled press has smeared him for months, perhaps trying to cut him off at the pass.

But the jury is in and DeSantis’s handling of COVID crushes so many of the Left’s narratives.
