“People should not have to die so some people can own the libs,” the CNN commentator opined, adding, “But they may end up owning the pandemic, because they’re prolonging it.”
He then said, “Instead of the Delta variant, why not call it the DeSantis variant? We could sell beer koozies that say ‘Don’t Florida My Fauci,’ and use the money to help pay for all of the funerals in the days to come.”
Now Twitter is reacting to Acosta’s comments, and let’s just say users are not holding back with their opinions!
