“你们愿意戴就戴，但这太荒谬了！” 美国佛罗里达州州长德桑蒂斯（Ron DeSantis）在2日的一场新闻发布会前，用这样的话斥责身后几名戴口罩的学生，并声称“我们必须停止这场新冠‘骗局’”。↓

据美联社报道，当地时间3月2日上午，德桑蒂斯来到南佛罗里达大学举行新闻发布会。该所大学位于新冠高风险地区，美国疾控中心建议在该地区室内应佩戴口罩。

A visibly annoyed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis admonished a group of high school students for wearing face masks at an indoor news conference last Wednesday, saying it was time to stop what he called “this COVID theater.”

The Republican governor approached the students and asked them to remove their masks as they waited for him at the press event at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The college is located in an area where the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends indoor masking due to high COVID-19 risk.

然而，当德桑蒂斯走上讲台，他却对着讲台后方几名戴着口罩的学生说道：“你们不用戴这些口罩，摘了吧！说实话这真的没有什么用”。随后，德桑蒂斯声称“我们必须停止这场新冠‘骗局’”。
“You do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. “



“如果你们愿意戴就戴吧，但这太荒谬了”，说完，德桑蒂斯转身回到讲台，并叹了一口气。
“So if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous,” he said, letting out an audible sigh and shaking his head.
 

视频可见，大部分学生被德桑蒂斯批评后，都摘下了口罩，仅有三名学生全程佩戴了口罩。

据美联社报道，德桑蒂斯正在竞选连任州长，被认为是2024年共和党总统候选人。他强烈反对口罩和新冠疫苗，曾采取一系列措施阻止强制佩戴口罩的规定，包括禁止当地学校强制配戴口罩。

DeSantis, a fierce opponent of virus mask and vaccine mandates, is running for reelection and is considered to be a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate. His opposition to coronavirus masking and vaccine mandates has drawn national attention, and his administration has banned mask mandates in schools.

这次，德桑蒂斯训斥学生的举动也引起了美国网友热议。

“向那三个没搭理他的孩子致敬”

 
“所以我们可以不要再假装这是关于自由了吗？那些学生‘选择’戴口罩，却因此被州长批评。”


“你是谁呢，敢叫这些孩子摘下口罩！”


“他（领导）的州已经有超过7万人死于新冠了，真是个好州长。”


据《纽约时报》统计，截至3月3日，佛罗里达州新冠疫情累计死亡人数已破七万。
