Did Ron DeSantis Pose Holding an Anti-Mask T-Shirt?

No.

A viral image purportedly shows Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis holding up an anti-face mask T-shirt. 

The picture is doctored: in reality, it’s an edited image of DeSantis with a Popeyes T-shirt from his 2019 visit to the Popeyes headquarters in Miami.
