The Strange Saga Of An AP Article Trying To Condemn Gov. DeSantis For Pushing COVID-19 Treatments

Earlier this week, The Associated Press seemed to have a scoop: One of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R-FL) top donors is invested in the company that makes a life-saving COVID-19 treatment — a treatment DeSantis has been touting since last year.

On its face, the article didn’t have much oomph, as DeSantis is not the only one pushing monoclonal antibody treatments, including the Biden administration. Further, the donor, Ken Griffin, the CEO of Chicago-based hedge fund Citadel, also donated to President Joe Biden’s inauguration committee, yet the AP didn’t write a similar article attempting to make Biden’s encouragement of the treatment as something nefarious.
