'Sometimes There Are No Words', Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried On Gov. Ron DeSantis' Antics At Trump Rally
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) - Florida's Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried has called out Governor Ron DeSantis' behavior at President Donald Trump's rally last Monday night at the Sanford-Orlando Airport.
Fried said DeSantis, who did not wear a mask, came into contact with hundreds of people, gave out high fives, then touched his own face and didn't wash his hands.
"Sometimes there are no words," she said in a statement.

Fried has been highly critical of the Republican governor's handling of the pandemic.
During the height of the pandemic in the Sunshine State, she called on DeSantis to issue a statewide mask mandate to help save lives. Desants never did.
Fried, the only Democrat in DeSantis cabinet, has just two words for Floridians - "Just Vote."
"Vote for the 15,530 Floridians that have died from COVID-19 and the hundreds of thousands who have been infected," she said in the statement.
