In the fight against the deadly coronavirus, it seems like Florida’s governor has decided to side with Team COVID.
I think we can all agree that Ron DeSantis doesn’t care if his constituents die.
That is not an opinion; it is a conclusion. If you and Ron DeSantis were walking in a rainstorm and he intentionally knocked your umbrella to the ground, you should assume he doesn’t care if you get wet. If you were in a house that was on fire and discovered that DeSantis had nailed all the doors shut, it is reasonable to believe Ron DeSantis wants you to burn. But, to be fair, none of these examples are analogous to what Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is doing to Floridians.
Ron DeSantis isn’t just refusing to protect the citizens of Florida from a deadly pandemic, he is spitting on them during a rainstorm. He is dousing their burning homes with gasoline, and he is currently in charge of the worst COVID outbreak in the country.
Ron DeSantis is not good at his job.
The only way any reasonable person could conclude that DeSantis was an even remotely competent governor was if his goal was to kill people.
According to the New York Times’ COVID tracker, the Sunshine State currently has more new COVID cases, more hospitalizations per day and more deaths per day than any other state or territory in the nation. Since DeSantis became governor, the coronavirus has affected more lives than all of the crimes in the state combined. While Gov. DeStupidest has seen the murder rate rise 14 percent since he took office, COVID has killed 19 times more Floridians than all of the murderers in the state.
