Several days after Business Insider<\/a> admitted they had published inaccurate numbers of state residents that moved to Florida during the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin cited them and used them in an attack piece about Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019, R-Fla., leadership of the state.<\/p>\n

Rubin published the column Friday in which she claimed, “DeSantis likes to brag that more people are moving to Florida than ever. Not so fast. \u2018An estimated 674,740 people reported that their permanent address changed from Florida to another state in 2021.\u2019” Those numbers are wrong and the Post, in a correction on Saturday, admitting the column “mischaracterized” the stats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She originally added, “\u2019That\u2019s more than any other state, including New York or California, the two states that have received the most attention for outbound migration during the pandemic,\u2019 according to the American Community Survey released in June tracking state-by-state migration.”<\/p>\n

I AM LEAVING NEW YORK CITY FOR FLORIDA. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Business Insider published the figure earlier in the week, claiming that 674,740 residents left the state, overtaking 433,402 residents leaving California and 287,249 residents moving from New York.<\/p>\n

Though the outlet corrected it Tuesday, after critics, including Team DeSantis\u2019 Christina Pushaw, pointed out, consulted the data the report was based on and blasted the paper.<\/p>\n

Pushaw tweeted, “That figure — 674,740 — is people who moved TO Florida, not OUT OF Florida. Retraction needed.”<\/p>\n

Confirming critics\u2019 analysis, Business Insider wrote a new piece<\/a> correcting the figure, which was headlined, “We got it wrong: More people moved out of New York and California in 2021.”<\/p>\n

In it, reporter Kelsey Neubauer \u2013 who wrote the original erroneous piece \u2013 stated, “Out-of-staters flocked to Florida in 2021, with some 674,740 people moving there,” amending the claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It added, “About 469,577 residents left the state, for a net population gain of 205,163,” and affirmed, “The state became a big draw for Americans who decided to move during the pandemic.”<\/p>\n

Despite Business Insider admitting its original claim was contrary to the actual numbers, Rubin published the debunked fact in her piece three days later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Saturday afternoon, the Post offered a correction<\/a> to Rubin’s column, admitting to “mischaracterizing” the numbers: “A previous version of this article mischaracterized Floridians’ state-to-state migration in 2021. According to the Census Bureau, more people moved into Florida than any other state that year. This version has been corrected.”<\/p>\n

Since Rubin published the piece, multiple Twitter users<\/a> blasted her and the Washington Post outlet for not catching the error.<\/p>\n

The National Review\u2019s Charles Cooke shared screenshots of Rubin\u2019s error and the new article from Business Insider on Twitter. He wrote, “In which Jennifer Rubin writes a piece in the Washington Post on Friday that is based around the massive mistake that Business Insider made\u2014and then corrected\u2014on Tuesday. \u2018Does she have editors?\u2019 was just emphatically answered.”<\/p>\n

Cooke added, “It really is jarring to see. When I\u2019ve written for the Post and the Times, I\u2019ve been fact-checked until I bled. If I wrote that there are 50 states, I was asked for a citation. That\u2019s fine\u2014good, even. But, as is evident if you read those papers, it only happens in one direction.”<\/p>\n

Outkick.com writer Ian Miller tweeted, “Jennifer Rubin<\/a> and the Washington Post lied about the amount of people who moved to Florida because they didn\u2019t want it to be true since it makes Ron DeSantis look good \u2014 and they still haven\u2019t corrected their very obvious mistake. Amazing to see how desperate they are.”<\/p>\n

RedState.com senior editor Joe Cunningham commented, “Hell, CNN fact-checked the hell out of an op-ed I wrote. But Jennifer Rubin gets all the free passes.”<\/p>\n
