No indication Biden administration is planning to shut down the Florida border PolitiFact
https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/02/15/no-indication-biden-administration-is-planning-to-shut-down-the-florida-border-politifact/?Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sent out a fundraising plea attacking the Biden administration for considering domestic travel restrictions in an effort to curb the spread of a highly contagious COVID-19 variant.
President Joe Biden “is trying to shut FL’s border,” DeSantis texted potential donors. In an accompanying email, DeSantis said: “Joe Biden is considering treating Florida like East Berlin and shutting down our border over ‘coronavirus concerns.’”
Is that so? We found no indication of anything so dramatic.
Desantis imposed travel restrictions on travelers from some states earlier in the pandemic. On March 23, 2020, he required travelers from coronavirus hot spots like New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to self-quarantine for 14 days. Later that month, he ordered the Florida Highway Patrol to set up checkpoints on a highway connecting Florida and Louisiana.

My Mother had a phrase for people like him. The only time they tell the truth is when a lie won't fit.
