The president of the nation's second largest teacher's union is getting backlash for saying "millions of Floridians" will die because of Governor Ron DeSantis.
Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers tweeted Wednesday in response to a Washington Post article about the governor, who's been selling campaign merchandise mocking White House medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Weingarten called it "disgusting," and claimed "millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis' ignorance."
So far, about 38,000 people in Florida have died of COVID-19 and more than 600,000 have died around the nation.
