In states around the U.S., Covid-19 vaccines are being administered, and in some places it’s going faster than in others.
A Miami Herald investigative reporter singled out comments from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the wait at one particular vaccination site:
@GovRonDeSantis: “Everything is GREAT in Florida!” Meanwhile, just spoke with a woman who has been waiting in this Covid vaccine car line in Miami since 4:30 am. pic.twitter.com/6ztJJm0va4

No potshots at the Biden administration? Because they’d be warranted:
what's the F in FEMA stand for?

The Republican governor gets zinged but not the Democratic administration in the White House that runs FEMA?
Lolzzz. Trying to dunk on DeSantia by showing there’s a long wait at a federal site.

You would think an investigative journalist would have done a bit of investigating and discovered that this was a FEMA vaccine location. https://t.co/66U6Shk1kS

That's because it is a FEMA site and we all know how efficient and effective government run agency are ? https://t.co/LYAaWWAaJf

that's a line for a FEMA site (FEMA as in the **Federal** Emergency Management Agency). https://t.co/qRkJNozDCt

also, uh, long wait or not, those people are all getting the vaccine. so, yeah, that strikes me as pretty great.

That attempted dunk on DeSantis was ended up being in the Biden admin’s face.
I know doing 5 seconds of investigation is a lot to ask for an investigative reporter, but you should try it next time.https://t.co/rXQU2dymkE

For an investigative reporter, you seem really bad at investigating. https://t.co/tazfhLBHMJ

Nice ratio!
(It's a FEMA operation, which means it's federally-operated)
Also appears the center doesn't open until 7 AM…this was sent at 9:39 AM. That's an exaggeration of 100%.
And all to own a governor doing a decent job. https://t.co/7KiEh1VrMu

That particular site is being run by the Biden administration.

Blame FEMA, as that is one of their sites. Nice try, though. https://t.co/7Zs8WZWZRQ pic.twitter.com/hTJqjrel0l

This site is run by the federal government. FEMA to be exact.
The corporate press is the enemy of the people. https://t.co/KWO2BD1bSf

We can’t help but wonder how this would have been framed if the Florida governor were a Democrat and Trump was still in office.
