ORLANDO, Fla. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened CBS with unspecified “consequences” over Sunday’s “60 Minutes” story about coronavirus vaccine favoritism, saying he was “going to bite back and hold (CBS) accountable.”
“What they’re saying is a total crock, that somehow only Publix was getting (the vaccine) is nonsense,” DeSantis said Tuesday at a news conference in the Panhandle, as he denied again that the grocery giant’s $100,000 contribution to his campaign influenced vaccine decisions. “And we told them it was that and they cut it out. They spliced it because they can’t handle the truth. … So they went for the smear.”
