Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sent out an email Thursday fundraising off of a viral video of him chiding a group of students for wearing masks during a news conference. The email blasted the “corrupt and biased legacy media” for going after the governor over his claim that “masks are political theater.” DeSantis’ Twitter account also released a video of his comments spliced with Family Guy memes, claiming hypocrisy among Democrats who have recently appeared in public without masks.
