Ron DeSantis Bashes AP Over Story On Touting Of COVID-19 Treatment Linked To Donor

The Florida governor ripped the article as a "partisan hit piece" in an interview with Hannity.

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday went after The Associated Press for its story about his touting of a COVID-19 treatment that is linked to a major campaign donor. DeSantis ripped the article in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity as “clearly a partisan hit piece,” and an example of AP “trying to create a false narrative.” Rather than pushing for preventive vaccines and masks as cases of COVID-19 skyrocket in his state, DeSantis has been heavily promoting the use of the pharmaceutical Regeneron to treat COVID-19, which was used by Donald Trump when he contracted the illness. The governor has set up Regeneron treatment sites for Floridians.
