It’s obvious when someone is a threat to the left’s agenda when they will do anything to try and take them down. In the latest showdown, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) of bullying the Special Olympics.
Earlier this week, DeSantis announced that Florida would sue the Special Olympics for $27 million if they did not reverse their Wuhan Coronavirus 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 ripped Newsom a new one.
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.

Also, your wife is a vaccine skeptic, so maybe you should ask her how she feels about people with special needs & complex medical conditions being FORCED to take shots in order to compete in the special Olympics? I doubt she would stand for that, if it involved your own family?
