Anderson Cooper 360

Gov. DeSantis threatens salaries if schools mandate masks

Listen Later

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the state could move to withhold salaries of those who violate the ban on mask mandates in schools. Gov. DeSantis issued an executive order last month directing the state’s health and education departments to issue rules preventing the implementation of school mask mandates. Dr. Richard Besser is the former acting director of the CDC and a pediatrician. He tells Anderson Cooper the best place for children this fall is in school learning and the best way to keep that happening is to “ensure that teachers and staff are vaccinated, that parents are vaccinated and that everyone in schools is wearing masks.” Plus, sources tell CNN that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is in a “fighting mood” as his closest aides and confidants spent the weekend trying to get him to resign. Christine Quinn is a former New York City Council Speaker and the president of the organization, Women in Need. She joins AC360 to discuss Cuomo’s future and says he “really has one gear, and that gear is fight.”
