How false is the 60 Minutes story on Ron DeSantis and Publix? False enough that the Democratic mayor of Palm Beach County, Dave Kerner, has released a statement noting that it is not just based on “bad information” but is “intentionally false.” Mayor Kerner says that he offered to talk to 60 Minutes himself, but that CBS declined. He says Palm Beach County asked for the Publix relationship, and that CBS knew that but “left it out because it kneecaps their narrative.” He says that the media is “hellbent on dividing us.”

Kerner is the second Florida Democrat in as many days to push back publicly against CBS’s segment. Read his whole statement here.

  1. Maybe even some Dems are becoming targets of the venom published by CBS and other news sources which Republican government leaders find themselves fighting against all the time! I never thought a Democrat would get out of the favor of the media. Of course, no chance to challenge their accusations…watch out! Even Democrats can be silenced by the media, Facebook and Twitter!
