Tucker: How Did the CDC Get the Numbers Wrong on Florida? It’s Because DeSantis Is the Governor

‘Health officials in Florida prove the actual number is 30% lower than that’

EXCERPT:

CARLSON: "It is wrong to put people that unhappy on television. It's just wrong. Oh but she had numbers. What were those numbers? Well, they are from the CDC. Earlier this month, the CDC claimed that 28,000 people had tested positive for Covid-19 in Florida on a single day, and that sounded pretty scary, but it turned out not to be true. Health officials in Florida proved the actual number is 30 percent lower than that. Oh. So how did the CDC get that number wrong? That's an interesting question. Now, part of the answer may be Ron DeSantis runs the state of Florida. DeSantis, one of 50 governors, but gotten more publicity than any other over the past year because, again, people are moving to his state. So, in Washington, they looked down at Florida and think, oh, there's a potential challenge for the White House, and they get the CDC involved to make up numbers. That looks like what happened. Ron DeSantis joins us now with his view of what happened."
