On Friday, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had heard enough from people zinging her vacation in the mandate-free “DeathSantis” Covid hellscape of Florida and fired back accordingly with a swipe at the state’s governor:
Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks?
If he’s around, I would be happy to say hello. His social media team seems to have been posting old photos for weeks.
In the meantime, perhaps I could help with local organizing. Folks are quite receptive here 🙂 https://t.co/LmmqT8eLDh

DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw later shared a bit of information that should make AOC just pack up and head back to the state from which she’s a representative:
Embarrassing, even for you. https://t.co/GNK70W3Vte

Yes, embarrassing even for her, not to mention many others:

You should probably apologize, Sandy. https://t.co/OXS88qKHDw

It seems like DeSantis' comms team rope-a-doped a lot of too eager political opponents here. https://t.co/k0nixdsAc2

Any apology @AOC? https://t.co/wjVECEPQOj

Another banner day for DeSantis haters.
Mocking a governor while vacationing in his state — and ‘ore importantly —- also while he’s attending to his wife currently receiving cancer treatments is really some look. What is wrong with people? And this is an elected official, no less. https://t.co/cMR2rPmjpn

Wasn't Pete Buttigieg missing for like 4 months, and NO ONE on the Left said a thing, during major supply interruptions…? https://t.co/3G6PvQGmVB

Bet @AOC is regretting this now.

He was with his wife as she got cancer treatments. Now you'll explain to us why he shouldn't have done that. https://t.co/uTnTf4aiyR

She’ll probably come up with something.
