Reporter Also he said ░░░░░░░░ you re a dictator ░░░░░░░░ do you respond to ░░░░░░░░ Laughter DeSantis Well I ░░░░░░░░ the interesting thing over ░░░░░░░░ last couple years is ░░░░░░░░ had people that kept ░░░░░░░░ to lock people down ░░░░░░░░ was one of the ░░░░░░░░ in this country that ░░░░░░░░ people up Cheering and ░░░░░░░░ We protected people s ░░░░░░░░ jobs businesses we made ░░░░░░░░ kids could be in ░░░░░░░░ school and we liberated ░░░░░░░░ million Floridians from local ░░░░░░░░ and restrictions We protected ░░░░░░░░ against vax mandates so ░░░░░░░░ they could keep working ░░░░░░░░ having that Applause And ░░░░░░░░ would note you go ░░░░░░░░ to the summer of ░░░░░░░░ I got a letter ░░░░░░░░ every Democrat member of ░░░░░░░░ U S House saying ░░░░░░░░ need to shut down ░░░░░░░░ in July of 2020 ░░░░░░░░ we had done that ░░░░░░░░ they had wanted to ░░░░░░░░ this state would be ░░░░░░░░ the toilet right now ░░░░░░░░ made the right decision ░░░░░░░░ keeping the state open ░░░░░░░░ I think Applause So ░░░░░░░░ think the people that ░░░░░░░░ dictatorial are the ones ░░░░░░░░ want to lock you ░░░░░░░░ I think that people ░░░░░░░░ dictatorial the ones that ░░░░░░░░ to lock kids at ░░░░░░░░ school for a year ░░░░░░░░ all of them wanted ░░░░░░░░ do here in Florida ░░░░░░░░ I stopped it and ░░░░░░░░ sure that kids could ░░░░░░░░ in school I think ░░░░░░░░ s Applause I think ░░░░░░░░ s dictatorial to say ░░░░░░░░ someone should lose their ░░░░░░░░ based on their choice ░░░░░░░░ whether to get a ░░░░░░░░ shot or not So ░░░░░░░░ s just the reality ░░░░░░░░ the reason Applause And ░░░░░░░░ reason why we re ░░░░░░░░ tourism records the reason ░░░░░░░░ we re the number ░░░░░░░░ state for net in ░░░░░░░░ is because people understand ░░░░░░░░ know we ve stood ░░░░░░░░ freedom during the last ░░░░░░░░ years when very few ░░░░░░░░ willing to do it ░░░░░░░░ there s a lot ░░░░░░░░ revisionist history everyone says ░░░░░░░░ we were supporting the ░░░░░░░░ all along No that ░░░░░░░░ not true I was ░░░░░░░░ there on my own ░░░░░░░░ what I thought was ░░░░░░░░ and I was willing ░░░░░░░░ take whatever political consequences ░░░░░░░░ my way But that ░░░░░░░░ just the reality Florida ░░░░░░░░ viewed as the number ░░░░░░░░ they just did a ░░░░░░░░ Where would you want ░░░░░░░░ move Number one in ░░░░░░░░ country was Florida People ░░░░░░░░ at it and so ░░░░░░░░ And I m not ░░░░░░░░ anyone to move because ░░░░░░░░ ve got a lot ░░░░░░░░ people we ve got ░░░░░░░░ lot of infrastructure we ░░░░░░░░ a lot to do ░░░░░░░░ I m not out ░░░░░░░░ begging folks But I ░░░░░░░░ the proof is in ░░░░░░░░ pudding People vote with ░░░░░░░░ feet People were not ░░░░░░░░ to get into San ░░░░░░░░ over the last two ░░░░░░░░ They were not bagging ░░░░░░░░ get into New York ░░░░░░░░ were not begging to ░░░░░░░░ into Chicago or Minneapolis ░░░░░░░░ were doing whatever they ░░░░░░░░ to get to the ░░░░░░░░ of Florida.”
