The Democrat Mayor of Palm Beach County Florida Dave Kerner has now come to the defense of Governor Ron DeSantis after the latter was the target of a partisan report by CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ which claimed that DeSantis had given preferential treatment to the grocery chain ‘Publix’ regarding the coronavirus vaccine because of donation that allegedly gave to his political action committee.

Kerner slammed the reporting as ‘not just based on bad information’ but also ‘intentionally false.’

As Fox News reports:

“The reporting was not just based on bad information – it was intentionally false,” Kerner said in a statement on Monday. “I know this because I offered to provide my insight into Palm Beach County’s vaccination efforts and ’60 Minutes’ declined. They know that the governor came to Palm Beach County and met with me and the county administrator and we asked to expand the state’s partnership with Publix to Palm Beach County.”

“We have confronted this pandemic for over a year. Our residents, like all Americans, are tired. And the media is making it worse. They are hellbent on dividing us for cheap views and clicks. ’60 Minutes’ should be ashamed,” Kerner continued, adding that the program left his side of the story out because it “kneecaps their narrative.”

Kerner thanked DeSantis for his work to help Palm Beach County.

“Because of his efforts, working in coordination with Palm Beach County officials, over 275,000 seniors in our county – which is over 75% of the total senior population – have been vaccinated. I am proud of how our county and state leadership have executed on this important mission, and the results speak for themselves,” Kerner said.

    1. READ THIS QUICK AND FIX THE PROBLEM. YOUR HEADLINE IS WRONG AND YOU HAVE NOT EVEN NOTICED. THIS DOES INDICATE YOU ARE NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

      FIX IT! FIX IT! FIX IT!

  3. need to join together to rid this country of false and harmful media across the board. Enough. People are getting pretty tired of it. Sue the bastards!

  4. Sixty Minutes is a thing of the past, the only way they can stay on the air is to lie and deceive the naive people who foolishly still watch them.

  5. 60 minutes has gone downhill for years. Time to retire the show! That woman on Sunday is an ass! Rudeness and the lack of education does not make a good news program!

  6. I thought that programme 60 Minutes was defunct years ago but then I gave up TV when I came back from months in Spain. I get everything I need online WHEN I want it.

  7. George Soros probably paid 60 Mins to do a hit job. Someone needs to do one on him.
    Would the entire world ever rejoice.

  8. DeSantis is the Governor it was the Palm Beach Mayor who defended him. Headline seems to be incorrect.

  9. Why are these HACKS lying and using “clever editing” They have to realize that PEOPLE ARE WATCHING, I do believe that this is all going to blow up in their faces, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THAT!!!

  10. What’s 60 Minutes? LOL! Bunch of deadbeat liberals. I’d rather watch grass grow! The only time I watch any of that network sh— is for a specific sport. Otherwise I watch anything else.

  11. You may want to change the heading as our Governor Ron DeSantis is a Republican and not a Democrat. Trying to keep you away from the narrative we are holding lsm/msm

  12. The Swamp News rats , MSM=Fake News (CNN, FOX, CBS, MSNBC.etc)The Pravda/Racists Divisive Commie news and their propaganda HATE machine at full throttle! They are destroying the country within!‪ Expose, Boycott, Sue, prosecute and bring to justice all these lying Fake News Social media(Facebook, Twitter, YouTube.etc)

  13. Congrats, Mayor Kerner, for standing up, being a real patriot and telling it like it really is; the nation needs more like you, to help ALL of US get over this “great divide”!

  14. For a Democrap to speak out against a member of the MORON MEDIA the RECTUM SUCKING PUPPETS of Democraps means they really SCREWED UP. But I have seen them do this before. Back after A Bush the Tounger State of the Union. I watched a CBS talking head right after Bush spoke claim he said the exact opposite of what he actually said despite showing clips of Bush speaking. After each clip he would say he said and meant something he did not say or mean.

  15. Really strange that the corrupt satanic nazi democrat Kerner would come to the aid of Governor DeSantis!

  16. Well, we need to boycott 60 Minutes after this horrific smear attempt. I always thought 60 Minutes was a show that had integrety but after watching this huge cirus of lies and fake news. GOOD BYE 60 MINUTES YOU ARE NOTHING BUT LYING BAGS! I hope Gov DeSantis sues you and he will win after this!

  17. 60 minutes is nothing but a liberal propaganda news out and it’s time to boycott 60 minutes.

  18. Alas, the filthy swill that passes for media in this country! It is refreshing to see a man of the opposing party stand up for Gov. DeSantis against the slanted narrative media.
