  1. Yeah scolds them telling them to wear it if they want to. Lmfao

  2. DeSantis deserves an honorary SS lapel. This NAZI would have placed the kids in a concentration camp if his hands were untied. Americans needs to read and understand that demagogues like Trump and this guy easily become tyrants when supported by an “angry” and malicious crowd.

  3. He's right though because i still got covid like 4 months ago even though i was wearing mask on regular basis.

  4. Ron desantis for president

  5. I support Ron DeSantis 100%.

  6. Isn't this a common sense that mask lower chances of getting other viruses, COVID included? I didn't get COVID even when I was in the same room with other folks who had one.

  7. He didn't scold them. He said that they could keep them if they wanted but didn't have to because face diapers are useless.

  8. DeSantis: I'll stand by your freedom to do or say what you want, as long as I agree with it.

    This clown is a Karen.

  9. how can you all think that's inspirational? Even if you think masks are useless there are a thousand ways to say that without being that rude and intimidating!! it's just so shameful

  10. It’s amazing people see this as strength you’re yelling at kids .

  11. Like the masks made sense in 2020 hello people it’s 2022 now and it should be a choice we know more now best governor ever who should be president

  12. DESANTIS 2024!!!!!!!!!

  13. Ron DeathSentence is a Complete Unmitigated DISASTER! Threatening kids & fighting with Mickey Mouse! Gimme a F'ing Break! What a LOSER!🍊🤡💥🔫😅

  14. An as a Florida resident I really don’t want to loose him but he may be our next President!!!

  15. Parents of all those kids can sue DeSantis and the state of Florida for hundreds of millions of dollars! And win! DeSantis has no right to tell these kids lies that harm them. File lawsuits immediately!

  16. Yay !! I’m so proud of this hero!! Go desantis

  17. Even tho I don’t live in Florida nor am from, I respect this guy!!!!!! Glad he’s not liking the masks either.

  18. He is the worst governor hes a crook hes a trump racist

  19. No one, with 2 working brains, should wear a mask for virus that can pass through the mask pore. That’s idiotic.

  20. we should’ve had a pandemic when the flu came out if y’all are gonna act this way over covid. The flu and covid are so similar and the flu kills immunocompromised so why did we have no pandemic then? Anything you say back to this to argue back is useless. Plainly and simply because this covid pandemic is a way to gain more control and to bring out the people who are not the brightest bulbs so they can use them for their own agenda.

  21. What about people wearing masks alone in their car. 😅😅

  22. Yeah I feel the same way when I see people wearing masks. 🤦🏻‍♀️

  23. that mask has nothing to do with science or FA other than a sign of political allegiance to left wing ideology that those teacher's unions convinced those children to wear.

  24. Love him hope he can be president one day.

  25. Those students should be sent straight to Uncle Joe’s chamber for playtime – after all Joe likes kiddie ‘action’…

  26. scold? my man literally said you can put your mask on or not if you want lmao left wing media trying to find another boogyman after trump

  27. Title should be DeSantis tells kid they don't have to wear masks

  28. That speech he was giving sounded important, but NBC has more patients for 3 seconds of drama, and less patients for 3-30 min of talking.

  29. The only place someone should wear a mask is a hospital and that’s it

  30. At this time whoever thinks masks do something are completely brainwashed. Look at mask-frantic places like Puerto Rico or New York. Masks do nothing, take them off you look sick with it

  31. Hey Ronnie … chill man … be cool … young people want to protect themselves from YOU. Ha Ha … 🙂

  32. Awesome, Facts…😊
