CNN correspondent Rosa Flores got more than she bargained for when she asked Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) about the Covid-19 vaccine rollout falling short of expectations:
Flores’ question about what went wrong came after DeSantis warned he would redirect vaccine supplies from Florida hospitals that aren’t inoculating enough of his citizens to those that are doing a better job.
Fox News further reports:
DeSantis criticized the CNN reporter for not researching her question, noting that the coronavirus vaccine was distributed to hospitals and the hospitals decide how to dispense it.
Flores then accused DeSantis of not having a plan to ensure senior citizens don’t have to wait in long lines for the vaccine.
“So the state is not dictating to hospitals… that would be a total disaster,” DeSantis said.
The encounter mirrored dozens of moments over the past few years between President Trump and liberal reporters. CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who is widely known for his aggressive questioning of Trump officials that is often seen as grandstanding, defended his colleague.
Actually our @RosaFlores does a fantastic job here insisting that the governor answer the question. It’s too bad DeSantis frequently interrupts and insults Rosa. But we’ve seen that routine before. https://t.co/GoiQsSQpcR
