‘Irked by the sight of high school students wearing masks at his press conference Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis encouraged them to remove the facial coverings, calling their use “COVID theater.”
"You do not have to wear those masks,” DeSantis said in video captured by WFLA News Channel 8, Tampa’s NBC station. “Please take them off. Honestly, it's not doing anything. We've gotta stop with this Covid theater. So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous."
DeSantis then sighs and shakes his head in apparent frustration…’
Gov. Ron DeSantis also offered a rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech at the event in Tampa.

DeSantis is of course wrong, masks in fact help prevent the spread of the virus.
And his willful ignorance and unwarranted contempt for facts, the truth, and appropriate precautions is ridiculous.
