Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis launched an angry attack on a fired Department of Health data manager Wednesday, downplaying her role in the state’s online COVID-19 platform and airing her messy legal fight with a former boyfriend — a tangle that includes charges against her for stalking.
He did not comment about emails showing that officials at the health department ordered mapping expert Rebekah Jones to sever public access to raw data on the state’s coronavirus website. Some data that had been used for unflattering news coverage was removed from the site in early May, but it has since been restored.

DeSantis, speaking at a news conference with Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday, argued that Florida remains transparent when it comes to virus data. He said Jones “should have been dismissed long before that” based on her background, which includes an active charge of stalking the father of one of her young children.

“Our data is available, our data is transparent,’’ he said. "So any insinuation otherwise is just typical partisan narrative trying to be spun. And part of the reason is that because you got a lot of people in [the news media] who wax poetically for weeks and weeks about how Florida was going to be just like New York. ‘Wait two weeks, Florida’s gonna be next.’ ‘Just like Italy, wait two weeks.’ Well, hell, we’re eight weeks away from that and it hasn’t happened.’
Jones said she was removed from the online virus dashboard — a site she said she gave all her working attention to — after resisting health department officials’ orders to remove access to raw data so it could not be downloaded.
Her accusation led to calls by members of Congress and other elected officials — all Democrats — for an investigation.

“She is not an epidemiologist, she is not the chief architect of our web portal — that is another false statement — and what she was doing was she was putting data on the portal, which the scientists didn’t believe was valid data,” the governor said.
He said Jones didn’t listen to her superiors at work and was dismissed for that insubordination.
DeSantis referenced past charges against Jones, including for cyberstalking and cyber sexual harassment.
“I have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment, so her supervisor dismissed her because of a lot of those reasons, and it was a totally valid way, but she should have been dismissed, long before that.”
