Earlier this week, DeSantis announced that Florida would sue the Special Olympics for $27 million if they did not reverse their COVID-19 vaccine mandate, to which the olympics then backed down.
Liberal media outlets had a field day claiming that DeSantis has “reached a new low.
Newsom also took it upon himself to throw shade at Florida’s beloved governor saying “Ron DeSantis’ values on full display: Bullying. The. Special. Olympics.”

However, DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw was quick to respond.
Wrong. The only “bullies” here are the organizers who tried to force athletes with complex medical needs to take shots, even ignoring medical exemptions. Governor DeSantis stepped in to defend the athletes, and now we’re having an inclusive Special Olympics in Florida! https://t.co/DrVawwqh72

Sit this one out. Governor DeSantis stood up to Covidian bullying to ensure that 70 Special Olympians can compete despite not being vaccinated. Meanwhile — your Covid bullying has driven hundreds of thousands of Californians out of your state, including myself.
