Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has been fully vindicated after another smear job backfired and his accuser is now facing charges.
A fired state health worker has been caught in a lie after recently claiming that she was ordered to fake COVID-19 data by the governor’s office.
Despite zero evidence to support the false allegations, the media ran with the story anyway and used it to smear DeSantis and his administration.
Disgruntled employee Rebekah Jones fed her story to MSNBC and promoted her unsubstantiated claims in the hope of boosting her own public profile.
It worked as she is now running against Matt Gaetz for Congress
However, she may be running from a prison cell because she was caught by the Inspector General and now faces charges.

Jerry Dunleavy, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, said:
“Florida Department of Health’s Office of Inspector General report on claims by Rebekah Jones concluded that two of her allegations were ‘unsubstantiated,’ another allegation was ‘unfounded,’ and three officials she accused of wrongdoing were ‘exonerated.’
NBC reporter Marc Caputo broke down the scandal:
“Fired FL health worker Rebekah Jones’s claims that officials directed her to falsify COVID data or misrepresent it online have ‘insufficient evidence,’ according to the Dept’s IG which ‘exonerated’ officials in another claim
“Last year, the same IG had said Jones qualified for ‘whistleblower’ protection.
“Now it finds her claims are unsubstantiated
“There was lots of media coverage about that prelim finding.”
He then breaks down the final report on what she did:
- Spread unfounded COVID ‘disinformation’
- Attacked real epidemiologists who noted that
- Was booted from Twitter
- Faces a felony computer crime charge
- Faces a stalking charge
- Is running against Rep. Matt Gaetz
