If Nikki Fried thinks she has a shot at challenging Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2022, she’s going to have to up her game because quite frankly, this is “EMBARRASSING.”
But what’s even better is that it’s CNN taking “her to task” and speaking the truth about DeSantis leadership during the pandemic.
Have a watch:
EMBARRASSING segment for @NikkiFried who says her biggest weakness is not having a national profile like @RonDeSantisFL.
No surprise considering she clearly isn’t ready for prime time.@PoppyHarlowCNN takes her to task on Dem losses in FL statewide races & being wrong on COVID. pic.twitter.com/deS0inQWWJ

And it’s “so bad for @NikkiFried, she’s lost CNN.” Did she really think she could go after DeSantis on nursing homes?!?
It’s so bad for @NikkiFried, she’s lost CNN.
Btw, one aspect of @GovRonDeSantis response which is almost unimpeachable is how he locked down nursing homes, yet that’s what Fried led with. https://t.co/2d6bSB6omJ

She botched this final question, too, and got called out for whining about not having a national platform after conducting an interview on CNN for almost 10 minutes:

At this rate, she won’t even beat Charlie Crist in the primary, let alone DeSantis in November.
