'Full of it': DeSantis loses cool as he lashes out amid Trump's prodding

Gov. Ron DeSantis lost his cool with GOP rival former President Donald Trump Thursday, accusing him of being “full of it.”

He was responding to Trump’s most recent attacks on the Florida governor's handling of the COVID pandemic – and comparing him unfavorably to then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

“When you are saying that Cuomo did better on COVID than Florida did, you are revealing yourself to just be full of it,” DeSantis said in Tampa Thursday.

“Nobody believes that. And you know why? And you know why I know that? Because I remember in 2020 and 2021 when he was praising Florida for being open, saying we did it much better than New York and Michigan, and everyone was coming to Florida and that we were one of the great governors in the United States and he used to say that all the time.

“Now all the sudden his tune is changing, and I would just tell people do you find it credible? Do you honestly find it credible?”

He went on: “These are just frivolous criticisms, but in some respects, I think it shows that, you know, if you have to make that argument that you probably don’t have very good arguments.”
