WATCH: Ron DeSantis CALLS BS on blue states bringing back mask mandates

On “The Rubin Report,” Dave Rubin shared a video clip of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ reaction to the growing list of states that are imposing more mask mandates in response to the Omicron COVID variant, including New York and California.

"I think we've learned, if you give these people an inch, they will never let go. They're going to take a mile. They are going to restrict. They're going to mandate. They're going to lock you down, and we cannot accept that," DeSantis says in the clip. "Obviously, in Florida we do not accept it. There's no reason to be restricting or mandating anybody throughout our country. And the fact that this is still going on in these blue states, and may even intensify over the coming weeks and months, it just shows you that ... in 2022, if you're in those states, you need to make your voice heard. And you've got to do a change of direction, because I fear that they're going to continue to do this until they suffer at the ballot box."

He went on to add, "mandates and restrictions have not been effective but they've been very costly, and I think the proof is in the pudding. You have people that want to come to Florida to vacation or buy homes. You don't have the opposite where people are leaving free states to go to New York or some of these other places."
