border wall and over his covid policies trump responded that florida had among the highest number of deaths from covid. even cuomo did better. desantis told new hampshire radio show why he thinks trump is focused on him. i think a lot of what is he doing is showing everybody that he understands that i have got a good chance to beat him because he doesn t criticize anybody else now. it s only me. trump has ripped desantis rollout campaign on twitter and opening 25 minutes of technical problems. the former president s campaign says the desantis announcement is another example of why the florida governor is just not ready for the presidency. desantis campaign the government s announcement was so popular it broke the internet. other republican challengers have welcomed desantis to the race. the important part is now we have to elevate the debate about what we stand for and why we stand for it. former u.n. ambassador nikki haley has called desantis trump without the charge. she
show. here is governor desantis. well, look, i would just say push back a little bit. i think he did great for three years. when he turned the country over to fauci in march of 2020, that destroyed millions of people s lives. and in florida, we were one of the few that stood up, cut against the grain, took incoming fire from media, bureaucracy, the left even a lot of republicans. bret: saying the former president has a different lookback at that time. i don t think you are going to see a lot of attacks on donald trump from desantis. the one area where he can take them on you put fauci in charge of our economy. i freed florida from fauci s grip. bret: all right. panel. thank you. bret: finally tonight, a special day. my entire six and a half years in prison i had absolutely zero doubt that my country would never forget me. bret: vietnam veterans,
