Nikki Fried would just like to remind her future constituents that Florida is thriving 'despite @GovRonDeSantis, not because of him'

Recall that during the worst of the pandemic and even after, every single COVID19 death in Florida is on squarely on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ head.

Now that it appears that Florida’s COVID19 policies may be having a positive effect, it’s even more important to understand that Ron DeSantis has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Just ask Nikki Fried, the Democrat who hopes to unseat him in next year’s election:

Floridians are beating COVID and building our economic back despite @GovRonDeSantis, not because of him.

Once more, en español:

Los Floridanos están derrotando al COVID y construyendo nuestra economía de nuevo, a pesar de @GovRonDeSantis, no gracias a él.

Nikki Fried: Stupid and dishonest in any language.

Maybe that can be her campaign slogan.

Yeah it’s all the DeathSantis tweets that did it https://t.co/5CkpW9U5Hw

How are you capable of tweeting this with serious intent? Americans are moving to FL BECAUSE of DeSantis’ leadership and belief in self-determination, instead of strong handed government. Are you a bot? https://t.co/jxENNwvkHy

When COVID cases are up it's DeSantis' fault; when they're down DeSantis isn't responsible.

You're going to have to pick one. https://t.co/QUsAt5zDuw
