'Unethical': Christina Pushaw slams Nikki Fried campaign consultant for risking lives to push 'BlueAnon conspiracy theory' about Ron DeSantis

It’s sad — not to mention annoying — that so many in the media and on the Left are trying to make Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis the villain of the COVID19 pandemic, but here we are. Which means it’s up to people like DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw to set the record straight.

And she’s definitely got her work cut out for her:

Media activists: Before you amplify the latest BlueAnon conspiracy theory about @GovRonDeSantis (that a political donor owns Regeneron & therefore, expanding access to life saving treatments FREE to patients is corrupt) I saved you 5 minutes of research: https://t.co/Ld61iutzRf pic.twitter.com/FyXYNhHuMv

This narrative is nonsensical to anyone who understands how political donations work (but @60Minutes ran with the publix lies so you never know.) The fund featured in this conspiracy theory, Citadel, is also invested in Pfizer & Moderna. Biden Admin also promotes Monoclonals 👇 pic.twitter.com/UIw8rduHWX

Here’s the “BlueAnon conspiracy theory” Pushaw is referring to:

This doesn't mean monoclonal antibody treatments are bad — it's saving lives. It's just the promotion of this (something that was happening before DeSantis learned about it) more than vaccines (a better way to save lives) — seems questionable coupled with that $5 million.

Or Cate could just save himself the trouble and talk to Christina Pushaw.

Hey Kevin (@NikkiFriedFL advisor) — investigated it for you. https://t.co/JlwinfrfiL pic.twitter.com/tv7eudFjjF

Investigated it for you. Took 5 minutes. Jennifer is wrong, Citadel holds bigger positions in Moderna & Pfizer. Biden Admin also supports monoclonals. Stop spreading disinfo & discouraging Democrats from getting life saving Covid treatment FREE OF CHARGE! https://t.co/Ld61iutzRf pic.twitter.com/B4NsMXchnF

But where’s the fun in that? Right, Kevin?

Nikki Fried advisor spreading a conspiracy theory to discourage Democrats from getting life-saving monoclonal antibody therapy. Unethical.

🚨Regeneron is safe, effective, free of charge, and available to both vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID patients 👉 https://t.co/LwOrjUMsPU pic.twitter.com/rRLOUArJPe

Don’t believe me that it’s not political? The Biden Administration also supports the use of monoclonal antibody treatments for COVID patients. Follow @CameronWebb46 a Democrat doctor who works in the White House. Believe him if you don’t believe me, this is about saving lives. pic.twitter.com/HKiq8w930x

Maybe Nikki Fried’s crew should focus more on the “saving lives” stuff and less on the “spreading conspiracy theories” stuff.
