Florida’s First Congressional District is blood red, all but ensuring Gaetz’ victory
Or victory by any Republican with a criminal past.

I love to see unprincipled GQP fighting. Especially later in the summer (such as it is…)

I don’t know if any Democrat has a chance in a district that elected Matt Gaetz, but even Alabama said no to Roy Moore. The Florida brand of MAGA is at once more anti-intellectual and anti-science than the national strain. Digby had a good piece on the presumptive nominee Floridian’s anti-Fauci rhetoric:
“This isn’t just an attack on the man, it’s an attack on science — coming from powerful leaders of the Republican party. The echoes of Cultural Revolution/Cambodian Re-education are strong. That may sound hyperbolic and it probably is. But this character assassination of Fauci, based entirely on bull**** propaganda, is extremely creepy and it suggests that this antediluvian strain is becoming stronger.”
Our grandchildren may one day be learning Biblical Science in the classroom, and singing coordinated hymns of praise to their “red sunflower” of Chairman Donald.

Oof… not a great headline. I would suggest calling Rebekah Jones “DeSantis’ COVID Nemesis” (or something along those lines) instead of “Villain.” I get the intent, but without context, referring to her a “villain” could lead to misunderstanding. Thanks

This is an interesting perspective that i had not considered. Dotard thinks Ron DeSantis is a threat to his cult following.

I for one am happy to see tfg join the other ex-presidents to enjoy a peaceful, relaxed and honorable retirement.
Also, too: /S.

Rebkah Jones is a lunatic. Matt Gaetz is a child-diddler. The Panhandle is bad.

Am withholding exuberance until he joins other ex-presidents in entombment!
