DeSantis tells Biden he's dividing US and plunging Americans into destitution ...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took aim at President Joe Biden once again in the latest heated exchange between the two leaders over Biden's sweeping COVID-19 vaccine mandate. 

Yesterday the Democratic commander-in-chief delivered a brief pandemic update from the White House in which he took veiled shots at Republican leaders who were opposed to his COVID health measures and said vaccine mandates shouldn't 'divide' Americans.

'Just think of Biden - he says "Don't make the vaccines divisive." Don't make the vaccines divisive? You are trying to take people's jobs away over this issue,' DeSantis said at a press conference on Friday.

'You are trying to plunge people into destitution. You are taking away their livelihoods - no one else is doing that. You are the one that's being divisive about this'

During his six-minute address on Thursday Biden condemned spreading 'misinformation' about COVID vaccines the same week as he's been criticized by Republicans who claim that his vaccine order was responsible for the massive delays that have plagued Southwest Airlines. 

'Let's be clear, vaccination requirements should not be another issue that divides us,' Biden said. 'That's why I continue to battle the misinformation out there.' 

'School board members, religious leaders and doctors across the country are fighting misinformation and educating people about the importance of vaccines.' 

In early September Biden implemented a sweeping vaccine mandate targeting more than 100 million people, or roughly a third of the entire US workforce.

Biden also ordered the Labor Department to draw up rules mandating all private companies
