Washington Post Thinks Gov. Ron DeSantis Just Sank To A ‘Jaw-Dropping’ New Low
HuffPost
The newspaper's board slammed the Florida Republican for "crass opportunism and disregard for the greater good."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has plunged to new depths, the editorial board of The Washington Post argued in a critical essay published Tuesday.
The newspaper’s board said the Donald Trump loyalist had sunk to “a jaw-dropping level of cynicism” by aligning himself with misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines, campaigning against mask mandates and announcing fines for local governments who impose vaccine mandates on staff.
DeSantis is trying to cast himself “as a defender of personal freedom,” said the board. But he’s actually just adding “ to the vaccine hesitancy that has become a major roadblock to greater immunity and ending the pandemic,” it added.
