Dear Friends, 

Last night 60 Minutes aired a story that was baseless, deceptive and a journalistic embarrassment.

In fact, we have learned that 60 Minutes also refused to interview people who disputed its false narrative, selectively editing video, hiding facts, and omitting data that would have debunked its thesis by accurately describing Florida’s real vaccination efforts. 

Governor Ron DeSantis thoroughly and succinctly responded to questions by a 60 Minutes reporter, but they chose not to use his full responses lest they allowed the facts to get into the way of their misleading story. 

Below we are sharing an In Case You Missed It that was distributed to media by the Governor’s Press Office – which includes a quote and letter from Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner who states, “The reporting was not based on bad information – it was intentionally false.”  

See more below:

Despite Palm Beach County being central to last night’s 60 Minutes story, they refused to interview the Democratic Mayor of Palm Beach County, Dave Kerner, because he would have debunked their false narrative.

“The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false. I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and 60 Minutes declined.”  – Mayor Dave Kerner
