Ron DeSantis Thought He Could Cover-Up The Pandemic In Bullshit And Happy Talk-- Instead He killed Nearly 6,000 Floridians
Just after the video above was made by the *Washington Post*, Duval County authorities told Trump his disease-spreading convention would be too dangerous to hold in Jacksonville and Trump pretended he decided to pull all the live convention events there.
