CAPE CORAL, Florida (LifeSiteNews) — Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday blasted a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) treaty that critics say would expand the organization’s power worldwide and erode national sovereignty, asserting that “there is no way” Florida “will ever support” it.
“We in Florida, there is no way we will ever support this WHO thing … that’s not going to happen. No way,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Cape Coral, Florida.
“But you saw, I mean, you saw a lot of these elites advocate very pernicious policies,” the popular Republican governor continued, suggesting that “part of the reason people want to move [to Florida] is because we rejected those policies, but they advocated very pernicious policies, including locking kids out of school.”
DeSantis, who has generated widespread support among conservatives for fighting liberty-crushing COVID-19 measures, backing law enforcement, limiting abortion, and working to uproot radical ideologies from the classroom, made the comments in response to news that the WHO is working to implement a sweeping new iteration of its “global pandemic treaty.”
