A 60 Minutes segment accused Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of “pay for play” regarding an agreement his state had with Publix Supermarkets to distribute Covid-19 vaccines, but his supporters say 60 Minutes engaged in deceptive editing and even several high-profile Florida Democrats are coming to his defense. 60 Minutes edited the majority of DeSantis’ words out of his response to a question from reporter Sharyn Alfonsi about Publix grocery stores in Palm Beach briefly receiving exclusive rights to distribute the vaccines. 60 Minutes omitted were DeSantis’ statements that 90 percent of Florida’s senior citizens live within 1.5 miles of a Publix and that the Florida-based grocery store chain had been the first to “raise their hand” to participate in the program for vaccinating the general population, whereas Walgreens and CVS pharmacies were focusing on nursing homes and other long-term care facilities at first.
