Governor Ron DeSantis accompanied wife to cancer treatment while AOC attacked him as ‘missing’
UPDATE: Ron DeSantis rips AOC, lockdown politicians for fleeing to Florida
While critics slammed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for being noticeably absent from the public view in recent days, it has been revealed that the absence was due in part to the governor accompanying his wife to her cancer treatment.
A DeSantis spokesperson told Fox News that the governor accompanied his wife Casey to cancer treatment on Dec. 29—the same day that several critics accused the governor of “missing,” even sparking the hashtag “Where’s Ron” on Twitter.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has a wife fighting aggressive breast cancer and 3 small children that he is caring for.
His youngest is 1 year-old.
You sip a martini in a red state he runs as your blue district collapses under your garbage policies.

So @AOC thought she would dunk on Gov. DeSantis for being gone for two weeks but it turns out he was accompanying his wife during cancer treatment.
Not that they would have cared in the first place.
These people are awful. https://t.co/1adb8xpxVn

DESANTIS’ OFFICE HITS BACK AFTER MAYOR ASKS ‘WHERE’S OUR GOVERNOR?’
Democratic Mayor Jerry Demings of Orange County in Florida criticized DeSantis in a press conference Tuesday amid the rising COVID cases, suggesting state residents “should be outraged” with DeSantis not being in front of the media during the spike.
“Our residents, all Florida residents should be outraged, and they should ask the question, ‘Now, where’s our state? Where’s our governor?’” Demings said. “Where is Ron DeSantis now? When was the last time you saw the governor do a press briefing regarding COVID-19?”
Others, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to social media to criticize DeSantis and accuse him of being “inexplicably missing.”
“Hasn’t Gov. DeSantis been inexplicably missing for like 2 weeks,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a tweet during a visit to Florida. “If he’s around, I would be happy to say hello. His social media team seems to have been posting old photos for weeks.”
“In the meantime, perhaps I could help with local organizing,” added Ocasio-Cortez, who was spotted maskless while drinking and dining outdoors in the Sunshine State. “Folks are quite receptive here.”
MSNBC host Joy Reid also lashed out at DeSantis, writing in a tweet: “A governor, not governing during a crisis; and sunning his belly on vacation instead. @GovRonDeSantis is the Nero of Ted Cruzes.”
DeSantis Press Secretary Christina Pushaw responded to Reid, attaching photos of DeSantis’ daily schedule, and asked, “Have you ever considered that you’re one of the reasons nobody trusts the media?”
DeSantis communications staffer Kyle Lamb also responded to critics on Twitter who were questioning whether DeSantis was on vacation, writing: “Just FYI, [DeSantis] is not on vacation. Literally no one from our office has said that he is.
“Anyone pushing that could have easily seen the public schedule and seen that he’s taking calls and meetings this past week,” Lamb added. “Not having public events does not = ‘vacation.’”
