A truck is heading to various locations in the state capital of Tallahassee, with a mobile billboard that includes a provocative political statement about COVID-19: “Killing Florida With His Stupidity,” Ron DeathSantis.

Known as the ‘grim reaper’ lawyer, attorney Daniel Uhlfelder has pushed for closures of crowded beaches in the Panhandle and 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.
The ad is sponsored by Uhlfelder’s PAC, Make My Day, and the sign was originally created by a popular comedy duo, Uhlfelder said Wednesday in a phone interview with the Florida Phoenix.
“We are trying to get the word out…if you look at ‘DeathSantis’ it is a pretty effective name,” he said. “This is a deadly virus, and he is not taking it seriously.”
