AP urges DeSantis to end bullying aimed at reporter

Pushaw denied trying to direct the governor's followers to target AP's reporter despite retweeting his article and writing "drag them" in a now-deleted post.

She had objected to Tuesday's story by AP's Tallahassee, Florida-based reporter Brendan Farrington, which pointed out that one of DeSantis' multimillion-dollar donors invests in a company making the COVID-19 treatment drug Regeneron. DeSantis has been touting the monoclonal antibody treatment throughout the state.

In another tweet, she wrote that if Farrington didn't change the story, she would "put you on blast." She also retweeted a message that said "Light. Them. Up." in reference to the AP.
