Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called out Dr. Anthony Fauci on Sunday and was greeted like a rockstar at a country music festival in Panama City Beach, Florida.
In the clip posted on Twitter from the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam, DeSantis walks out on stage with a crowd in front of him going wild, hollering and cheering for him.
DeSantis then tells the gathered crowd that the only reason they could be at the concert was because “Florida chose freedom over Fauci-ism.” The crowd loved it and enthusiastically applauded.
Stars who attended the music festival — which took place over the weekend — included country musician Luke Bryan, Brad Paisely and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others.
