DeSantis promises pardons for everyone accused of violating COVID restrictions
Sun Sentinel 5/13/2021 Rafael Olmeda, South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is promising pardons for anyone facing penalties, including fines and jail time, for violating mask mandates and other efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The governor announced the pardons Wednesday night on The Ingraham Angle television show on Fox News, which has been critical of what host Laura Ingraham calls government overreach during the pandemic.
“We’ll issue pardons … for any Floridian that may have outstanding infractions for things like masks and social distancing,” DeSantis said.
Until then, the governor issued an order Thursday that stops prosecutions of most businesses and individual for two months, giving the governor time to prepare a full pardon.
