Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw has had a busy day Thursday after the Washington Post published a story about Democrats wondering where the governor is “as Florida shatters its record for new coronavirus cases.” We do know where President Biden is when the United States racks up its biggest spike in cases: He told governors “peace out,” the crisis is in their hands, and flew to Delaware to walk his new puppy on the beach while wearing a mask. But no one seems concerned about that — where’s DeSantis? Is he on vacation? Is he sick?
They’re trying to make this a Sen. Ted Cruz in Cancun moment, and it’s working.
The absence of the generic Chief Executive Working photo of DeSantis over the past week plus suggests that he is in fact ill, and such a simple photo can't be taken.
Something is really off here. Shocking they were not able to swat this away today. https://t.co/4nQ5J2qvg1

I’m dubious there’s anything to that #WheresRon thing but it’s weird he’s posting proof of life photos that are nearly two weeks old pic.twitter.com/5KD9u5yVMN

I did not say he is on vacation, just that it wouldn’t be surprising if he wants to take a few days off. Can you become a journalist without basic reading comprehension skills? Guess so! https://t.co/7IkfsMDUPL

Your president is on vacation, not your governor. Your president said he was going to stop covid, but threw in the towel and headed to his beach house and bought a puppy to distract from his failures

Fake news, like everything Lev Parnas’ son posts. All state employees have a vacation day today. It’s the holiday season. Maybe a governor who has 3 young kids & his wife is battling cancer would want to spend time with his family! Regarding tests, ask Biden, who is on vacation. pic.twitter.com/m4JLO5TZQe

Joy Reid is now parroting disinformation from Lev Parnas’ son, who is constantly lying for BlueAnon Twitter clout. Per @GovRonDeSantis public schedule, he was working and in meetings in his office at the Florida Capitol today, as he has done all week. https://t.co/SwooWyfFKd

BREAKING: People don’t always post photos the same day they take them. If you do some journalism and compare his public schedules to pics from restaurants, you’ll see there is almost always a few days/weeks delay. https://t.co/eO7IajNoEK

THREAD: Public Schedules for @GovRonDeSantis are sent to the media every day. Unfortunately, corporate media are notoriously dishonest and don’t report facts. So here is the Governor’s schedule for the past week, starting with 12/22: (1/x) pic.twitter.com/umLTjhDipT

Fast forward to today:
And today, despite the fact that it is a holiday for state employees, @GovRonDeSantis was in his office working and meeting with staff. pic.twitter.com/rSLhDjEBM3

That looks like a terrible vacation.

BlueAnon asking #WhereIsRon – well, he’s doing his job for one, as you can see by his schedule. He hasn’t disappeared for two weeks like Gavin Newsom did for “family time” – even though that would be completely justified given that his wife is undergoing cancer treatment. https://t.co/yjAFJMnXNx

I can’t imagine being so broken that I’m demanding to know where the Florida governor is even though I live across the country and he has zero impact on my life. Honestly I hope the dude is making beef jerky and having a beer just to watch you guys seethe.

Just FYI, @GovRonDeSantis is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is. Anyone pushing that could have easily seen the public schedule and seen that he's taking calls and meetings this past week. Not having public events does not = "vacation"

All I gotta say is @ChristinaPushaw is absolutely killing it with slaying the leftist media’s lies about Ron DeSantis.
Get it girl. 💪

They’re so scared of DeSantis it’s ridiculous.
