Ron DeSantis Owns Journalist Trying to Badger Him With Long Winded Question About Florida Vaccine Delays

In a press conference held Monday about the Covid-19 vaccine, CNN reporter Rosa Flores attempted to embarrass Governor Ron DeSantis (R) with a question about the vaccine rollout. Flores asks, “what has gone wrong with the rollout of the vaccine? That we have seen phone lines jammed and websites crashing.” This is when Governor DeSantis jumps in, “There is a lot of demand I think at the end of the day if we could…”

Appearing to be offended by DeSantis’s quick answer and cutting him off Flores announces, “And also if I could if I could if I could finish my question.” DeSantis Quips back before she was finished, “excuse me excuse me you just said what has gone wrong so I’m answering the question.”

Flores insists, ‘if I could complete the question though”. DeSantis retorts, “so are you gonna give a speech or ask a question?” Flores continues to appear to play the victim to DeSantis’s quick answer. The two continue to go back and forth for a bit and DeSantis asks her, “how many questions?” and points out the other reporters have only gotten one question. Flores eventually gets her entire question out adding to the original, “seniors waiting overnight” to get the vaccine.

DeSantis asks her where this is happening, and Flores lists four counties. He then continues turning the table on the reporter asking her, “in Lee why did that happen. Did you investigate why?” Seeming surprised she pushes back, “that’s my question to you Governor. You’re the governor of the state I’m not the governor of the state.” DeSantis then affirms that she did no actual investigation highlighting the reporter’s uneducated question, and said it would be bad for the government to tell the hospitals how to run their system.

After the press conference, Flores talked with fellow CNN correspondent Brianna Keilar who referred to the Governor as an A** on air. You can see Keilar’s comments below where she inflates her comrad Flores and uses nasty language to describe the Governor.

This behavior is not uncommon from reporters who appear to have an agenda to push. In our view it detracts from the real stories and news and makes the main stream knows less reliable for the masses.
