(WSVN) - President Joe Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis traded another round barbs in their war of words over COVID-19 protocols.

The president on Thursday offered his reaction when asked about DeSantis’ comments.

“Governor DeSantis was using your words about don’t be in the way with him saying, ‘I am in the way to block too much interference from the federal government.’ Your response, Mr. President?” asked a reporter.

“Governor, who?” Biden responded as he and the reporters laughed.

The president’s jab came on the heels of the comments DeSantis made on Thursday.

“Why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you, thank you,” DeSantis said.

The heated exchange began on Tuesday when Biden called out Florida and Texas governors about their refusals to order mask mandates in their states.
