Apologies to all of the Donald Trump die-hards out there, but this editor is really hoping to see Ron DeSantis elected president in 2024. DeSantis even traveled to Iowa this week, a sure sign that he’s seeking the nomination. We’d love to see him make America Florida again, but the geniuses at MSNBC think that DeSantis’ lust for power has led him to destroy the entire state of Florida, which re-elected him by a 19-point margin back in November.
MSNBC columnist Michael A. Cohen explains:
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis likes to call Florida the “citadel of freedom” and the place “where woke goes to die.” The reality is a policy agenda defined largely by pettiness, cruelty and a disturbing disregard for basic democratic norms. If states are the so-called laboratory of American democracy, then Florida is the meth lab of American democracy.
…
In recent weeks, DeSantis has widened his war on the First Amendment. He’s spoken of his desire to weaken libel laws, which would make it easier to sue media organizations for defamation. This direct assault on the freedom of the press was picked up by at least one Florida legislator, who introduced legislation last week that would require bloggers who write about the state government and its leaders to register with the state.
When not violating bedrock constitutional principles, DeSantis and his Republican cronies are force-feeding Florida’s students their take on American history. While DeSantis claims that he’s trying to stop “woke indoctrination” in the Sunshine State, he is seeking to warp their minds with his own form of indoctrination.
Ah, Cohen brings up the legislation that would require bloggers to register with the state … without mentioning that DeSantis told the press that he in no way supported the legislation, which was written by one Republican state senator and had nothing to do with DeSantis.
Because they want to see Trump get the nomination.
Show us how Florida is “destroyed” using actual examples.
