Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, claims that Ron DeSantis will “kill millions of Floridians” in a tweeted response to a Washington Post story about DeSantis selling “Don’t Fauci My Florida” merchandise.

WaPo posted the following tweet on Wednesday morning:

DeSantis sells “Don’t Fauci My Florida” merch as new coronavirus cases near highest in nation https://t.co/DVAtiVR4dV

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 14, 2021

Weingarten responded later the evening by tweeting:

Disgusting. Millions of Floridians are going to die for Ron DeSantis’ ignorance and he’s choosing to profit from it. He doesn’t care about Floridians; he cares about furthering his own cruel agenda.  https://t.co/0HnxB3WlZ4

— Randi Weingarten (@rweingarten) July 14, 2021

With Johns Hopkins pegging the current total US CoVid death toll at < 610,000, Weingarten’s statement is hyperbole to say the least and disinformation at the worst. Weingarten has been the face of the teachers’ unions for decades; she is former President of the United Federation of Teachers and current President of the American Federation of Teachers. Throughout the course of her career, Weingarten has been an outspoken Democrat hardliner, who has been often criticized for fighting against measures to address teacher incompetence, was accused of interfering in local elections of the Washington Teachers’ Union in 2010, and was caught plagiarizing a speech in 2011.

It didn’t take long for the the public to the jump all over her for her “Millions of Floridians” comment. Here are a few of the responses:

for someone who leads the second largest teachers’ union in America, you’re incredibly dumb

Millions?

Since the start of the pandemic, only about 38,000 Floridians have died of COVID in total.

At a minimum, you are literally saying "50 times as many people in Florida will die in the future because of this."

Kinda sad that you're supposed to help kids learn math. pic.twitter.com/HeFNUWIJeC

the cruel agenda was teachers unions keeping schools closed and holding children's educations hostage for over a year

— Corey A. DeAngelis (@DeAngelisCorey) July 14, 2021

Not even close. The CDC is estimating a range of approximately 300 additional weekly COVID deaths in the near-term. At this rate, it would take Florida about 128 years to reach “millions of deaths.” There are no projections for deadly COVID to last 128 more years in any state

I'm convinced you're trolling at this point.

@rweingarten You must be using that "new" math I've heard so much about. Total US CoVid deaths at the moment < 625k …talk about hyperbole 🙄
