Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped Dr. Anthony Fauci in a new campaign advertisement, alleging Fauci’s persistent flip-flopping has come at the expense of U.S. freedoms.
The ad begins with a red flip-flop in the sand that reads “FREEDOM OVER FAUCI” and then cuts to a montage of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases going back and forth on his opinion of masking and children in schools.
“DR. FAUCI…HE FLIPS, HE FLOPS,” the ad states. “BUT HE CAN’T STOP FREEDOM IN FLORIDA.”

The flip-flops seen at the start of the clip are available to pre-order on DeSantis’s website, according to the ad.
While conservatives praised the ad, liberals and those on the Left rejected it.
“The stupidity in this one is very strong,” said Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “I thought his ads four years ago were the dumbest ads I’ve ever seen, where he’s reading Donald Trump bedtime stories to his baby, who I’m betting is sorry he did that now.”
However, Scarborough said DeSantis’s new ad reaches a new level.

“I guess stupid people will like the ad,” he said. “To attack a guy because, well, the realities of a virus change as the virus changes as the virus moves, as the virus, you know, mutates. It just — again, the height of stupidity. It got him elected last time. I suppose it will get him elected again this time, but just, again, so stupid. It should make your teeth hurt.”
