All of the Florida papers have it in for Gov. Ron DeSantis, so we were surprised to see this came from the New York Daily News’ David Goldiner. Granted: At most newspapers, the reporters and columnists don’t write their own headlines, so we don’t know how much of this is on Goldiner, but it’s obviously what someone cribbed from his piece about DeSantis rejecting the push to sell Florida’s investments in Russia.
Hey @davidgoldiner, your headline is false — ask me for comment next time. Fried’s letter was unclear & not actionable, because it conflated two separate things: private property of Russian nationals & state investments. SBA is reviewing our state investments in Russian entities. pic.twitter.com/xLvm0KWvOD

So the “push” is coming from DeSantis’ gubernatorial challenger, Nikki Fried?
how is it false?
— David Goldiner (@davidgoldiner) March 4, 2022
Because the governor literally didn’t reject the idea of divesting. Neither did I. The SBA is reviewing it. We cannot and will not invest in sanctioned Russian entities

nice deflection though
— David Goldiner (@davidgoldiner) March 4, 2022
Huh? This is your response? Is she wrong?
— J.K. (@jk_the_first) March 4, 2022
I’m not wrong and David knows that. He lied and didn’t think I’d call him out.
— Christina Pushaw 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) March 4, 2022
you're 100% wrong but keep talking to your MAGA fanboys on twitter
— David Goldiner (@davidgoldiner) March 4, 2022
Professional.
How am I wrong? I’m an official spokesperson. I told you the governor’s position and what the state is doing. Because it contradicts your Russia collusion fantasy, it’s “wrong”?
— Christina Pushaw 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) March 4, 2022
The state of florida has rejected the calls to sell the stocks so far. When you do anything other than that let me know
— David Goldiner (@davidgoldiner) March 4, 2022
Nobody “rejected” it. The relevant authorities are looking into it and will announce a determination once that is made. That’s like saying the governor “rejected” a bill because he hasn’t signed it yet, even though the legislative session is ongoing.
— Christina Pushaw 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) March 4, 2022
so for now he has rejected it. Tx for confirming. He can do it right now but he doesn't
— David Goldiner (@davidgoldiner) March 4, 2022
You need to look up the definition of the word “rejected.”
— Christina Pushaw 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) March 4, 2022
You’d think he’d know the definition of the word. I’d guess he’s experienced that many times throughout his life…

Can’t imagine why trust in the press is at an all-time low.
— Amerigo Chattin (@AmerigoChattin) March 4, 2022
We can’t say we’re surprised that the New York media is once again laser-focused on Florida. What about the other 49 states?
dude

"Under consideration"
"Pending further review"
"Seeking advice from SMEs"All of these could be a fair interpretation of what she's saying.

— Magnus (@JacksonTDawes) March 4, 2022
something that is up for consideration is to be considered rejected by default? Why not approved by default?
— Booty Scoops (@BootyScoops) March 4, 2022
I'm trying to understand if you just can't comprehend what she is saying or if you don't want to because you're trying to play the "Russian Collusion" card….

It’s impossible to underestimate you David.

What a tiny, smug, bald little creep. I guess if I was that much of loser, making that little money in the process, I’d sell my integrity for clicks too.

A troll journalist. Funny.

I don't know you at all, but you are a real dork David

Democrat here, bud. So put away the MAGA stuff and at least pretend to do your job professionally. You got busted, you're embarrassed. I get it. But stop digging, you look so foolish trying to turn your fuck-up into gold
— KappoWillBeFine! (@KappoKakko40) March 4, 2022
You have an agenda. We get it.
— Josh (@JoshWeber2) March 4, 2022
I can NOT believe you are digging your heels in on this lie that he’s “rejected” anything.
— Rosie 😎 (@CLR78253) March 4, 2022
David stop. You are making a fool out of yourself.

Another exhibit for why the once great NY Daily News is now garbage
— Peter G. (@PeterNY15) March 4, 2022
Has New York Gov. Kathy Hochul rejected the call to sell Russian assets? Why not keep an eye on New York.
