TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — A truck is visiting various locations in Tallahassee with a mobile billboard with a strong political statement about COVID-19 in the Sunshine State.
“'Killing Florida With His Stupidity,' Ron DeathSantis."
Known as the ‘grim reaper’ lawyer, attorney Daniel Uhlfelder has pushed for closures of crowded beaches in Florida and has gone to court over the issue.
Now he’s behind a movement that criticizes Gov. Ron DeSantis’ handling of the public health crisis in Florida.
Uhlfelder said his mobile billboard appeared in front of the Governor’s Mansion, the Florida Capitol, the Department of Education Building, a McDonald’s, a Publix, a Walmart, a local cemetery, and other highly trafficked areas the entire day.
"The purpose is to raise awareness of COVID-19 as Florida has become the global epicenter and try and get our leadership to do the right thing," said Uhlfelder.
The mobile billboard is sponsored by the PAC he founded, Make My Day.
"It is part of our multi-prong effort we have been engaging in since March 2020 to fight misinformation about COVID-19 and bring accountability to our leaders who do not have a plan to protect the public," Uhlfelder said. "The outpouring of support around the world has been amazing."
Thank you to everyone that stepped up and helped make this billboard a success. We are outside the Florida Governor’s Mansion today and driving around Tallahassee. pic.twitter.com/0KNtC81n49
