Covid wars launch DeSantis into GOP ‘top tier’

[Progressive Pessimist]

Yep, sounds like the very thing the GOP would find appealing. Maybe he will be the nominee. He's despicable enough.

However, if he runs against a President Biden who gets credit for ending the pandemic I don't think his coronavirus response as Governor will be received as warmly as the always out-of-touch GOP base may think it is.

The more deaths you're responsible for, the more popular you are with the current Republican Party.

Unless those "deaths" are fetuses supposedly.

To me it doesn't matter how Florida is doing with cases or deaths because even in spite of all that DeSantis has engaged in incredibly corrupt behavior when it comes to the pandemic.

This is a Governor who threatens state and local politicians who criticize him; holds maskless, indoor fundraisers; and rewards his donors with access to vaccines before the most vulnerable in his state can even get them. Ignoring these aspects of his leadership and obfuscating about other states sounds a lot like "at least he made the trains run on time" to me.

F*** this scumbag!
