DeWine: 'The buck stops with me'

[Ohiogal]

DeWine's comments were in response to an anti-Semitic sign at Ohio’s Statehouse during a recent protest rally.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WDTN) – Governor Mike DeWine took to Facebook Wednesday night to voice his concern over some of the comments made against Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton.

The comment was posted on the governor’s Facebook page around 9 p.m. Wednesday.

DeWine said in the post:

“I am deeply concerned by the anti-Semitic sign at Ohio’s Statehouse during a recent protest rally. The sign was vile and disgusting. While even disgusting speech is constitutionally protected, it still demands condemnation. The recent Internet post by Ohio State Senator Andrew Brenner, likening Ohio’s Department of Health Director’s actions to fight the corona virus to those taken by the Nazis in Germany during World War II, must also be condemned. The comments showed a complete lack of understanding of the Holocaust — made even more offensive by posting on Holocaust Memorial Day — and was a slur on a good, compassionate, and honorable person who has worked non-stop to save lives and protect her fellow citizens. Any complaints about the policy of this administration need to be directed at me. I am the office holder, and I appointed the Director. Ultimately, I am responsible for the decisions in regard to the corona virus. The buck stops with me.“

****** Anti-Semitic signs at the stay-at-home protest ... so are these idiots really protesting the stay-at home orders or are they getting instructions from somewhere else ... and coming from a state senator no less ... they are vile cretins .... Good for our Governor denouncing it ... He and Dr. Acton have been working hard and making tough decisions to keep us safe, whether these idiots realize it or not.
