WATCH: Florida Gov. Desantis Slams Idea of Travel Restrictions To Florida

The White House is reportedly considering domestic travel restrictions throughout the country and one of the restrictions happened to be Florida, a consideration that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized heavily in a news conference on Thursday.

"I think it's an absurd report that they would be doing that, I think it would be unconstitutional, it would be unwise and it would be unjust," DeSantis said. "Any attempt to restrict or lock down Florida by the federal government would be an attack on our state done purely for political purposes."

"If you think about it, restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce. So we will oppose it 100%. It would not be based in science, it would purely be a political attack against the people of Florida,” continued DeSantis.

There is no evidence that cutting off travel to Florida would reduce the risk of COVID-19.
