DeSantis Blames COVID Surge on Immigrants as Florida Pediatric Cases Soar, Hospitals

[signalmankenneth]

As COVID-19 ravages Florida, its Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis seems to have honed in on a strategy: blame President Joe Biden. A day after Biden publicly expressed frustration with Republican governors who are preventing businesses and schools from implementing mask and vaccine mandates, DeSantis fired back. “Some governors aren’t willing to do the right things to make this happen,” Biden had told reporters Tuesday. “I say to these governors, please help. If you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way of the people who are trying to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.” DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have both issued executive orders banning mask mandates.

DeSantis's naked political ploy is unbelievably cynical. He is counting on abject stupidity and total lack of accountability to get him into the White House. He thinks that letting people die and blaming it on brown people is good politics. It isn't that at all. It is criminal negligence in my book.
