Under pressure from public opinion, a staff member of the governor's office responded on social media on December 31, 2021. He tweeted: "FYI, Ron de Santis is not on vacation. His public schedule is easily accessible, and he's been in meetings for the last week and answers all sorts of calls. The absence of public activity is not the same as being on 'vacation'. ”

On January 1, local time, Fox News Network reported that a spokesman for DeSantis said that he was accompanying his wife to cancer treatment when the public criticized the governor for "Shen Cain".
