Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to lead while other Republicans cower in the corner. With the rise of the so-called “Omicron” variant of COVID (they skipped the Xi variant for obvious reasons), the Florida governor has chosen to double down on policies that actually make sense.
Lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates simply haven’t produced results in other parts of the country. Michigan, led by Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, serves as the latest example with the state now having the highest COVID case rate in the nation. In comparison, DeSantis has rightly decided that it’s better to follow actual data and real-world results than to abide by the gospel of Fauci.
Here he was yesterday reiterating that Florida isn’t playing that game.
But it was something else that DeSantis said that sent the media into fits of rage. While discussing the Waukesha massacre, which took the lives of at least six people with dozens more still fighting for their lives, he went there on the fact that the definition of “terrorist” has now suddenly been narrowed. He also noted that Darrell Brooks had clear “anti-white animus,” something that was revealed by the killer’s black supremacist rantings on social media, including calls to murder white people.
