Same chick that did this pulled CECOT bit did the discredited hit piece on DeSantis and vaccines. Go figure.

Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared on Fox News Monday night, the day after a 60 Minutes story critical of him was championed by his critics, but slammed on the right.
quote:
The story, by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, suggested there was a possible link between the donation and the state’s partnership with Publix stores for vaccine distribution — a serious issue of foul play, if true.
quote:
The Governor said that “they selectively edited the background. They tried to act like there was a conspiracy with Publix, ignoring the fact that other pharmacies were involved before Publix, doing the long-term care facilities, ignoring the fact that I met with the county mayor, a Democrat who said that what 60 Minutes has done was bunk.” “They didn’t tell you that,” DeSantis said. “It didn’t fit the narrative. They don’t believe in facts. It was a political narrative. It was done with malicious intent and a reckless disregard for the truth.”
quote:
DeSantis said that 60 Minutes avoided talking to “key Democrats” such as the aforementioned county Mayor Dave Kerner and Division of Emergency Management head Jared Moskowitz because they would “blow up their narrative.” In a Sunday night tweet directed at “60 Minutes,” Moskowitz wrote, “I said this before and I’ll say it again. [Publix] was recommended by [Florida Division of Emergency Management] and [Florida Department of Public Health]. Period! Full stop!” “No one from the Governor’s office suggested Publix,” Moskowitz added. “It’s just absolute malarkey.”
quote:
Kerner offered a similar sentiment in a Monday statement. “I watched the 60 Minutes segment on Palm Beach County last night and feel compelled to issue this statement,” Kerner said. Publix also issued a statement to criticize the assertion, but the supermarket chain did not mention “60 Minutes” by name. “The irresponsible suggestion that there was a connection between campaign contributions made to Gov. DeSantis and our willingness to join other pharmacies in support of the state’s vaccine distribution efforts is absolutely false and offensive,” Publix said Monday.
quote:
“They put their head in the sand and pretended those facts didn’t exist,” DeSantis groused.
quote:
“She was in Florida for three months, 60 Minutes, trying to dredge up any dirt they could use to smear me, and the best they could come up with was a baseless conspiracy theory that’s easily debunked, not just by me, which they had to edit out, but by two very prominent Democrats in the state of Florida.”
