The attorney who sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in an effort to close access to the state’s beaches has taken to dressing as the Grim Reaper try to scare away beachgoers.
Daniel Uhlfelder on Friday hit the sand in a ragged black robe and hood, wielding a scythe and ominously standing behind bikini-clad residents.
He tweeted that he began dressing as the collector of death “to remind Floridians of the importance that we stay home and protect one another.”
Today I began touring Florida as the Grim Reaper to remind Floridians of the importance that we stay home and protect one another. This is just the beginning. Thank you for the support received from all over the world. pic.twitter.com/aVPICTxebE

In an interview with a local ABC affiliate that went viral on social media, Uhlfelder called the governor’s move to reopen public beaches “premature.”
“I think that the danger of bringing all the people here to our area and spreading the virus, I think it is going to prolong the recovery we have and I think that we should take better measures. Drawing people from all over the world to our beautiful beaches, it’s too soon and it’s not appropriate,” Uhlfelder said in the clip, which gained more than 7.4 million views on Twitter.
The guy in the grim reaper costume sounds like he’s making 1000x more sense than the people who reopened the beaches. pic.twitter.com/qWMHDPwS95

The lawyer plans to take the Grim Reaper costume around to other Florida beaches.

I hope he knows that he is in grave danger and it’s not from the virus. The Trumpsters are threatening violence.
