Gov. Ron DeSantis is still leading, while the other Republicans are left in the dust. 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 is currently the country’s highest COVID-case rate, thanks to Gretchen Whitmer (Democrat). 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.
Desantis: “In Florida, we will not let them lock you down. We won’t allow them to take your job. We won’t allow them to harm your companies. We won’t allow them to close your schools. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” pic.twitter.com/npfLBI51Qu

DeSantis’s comments about something else were what sent media berserk. 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.

DeSantis wasn’t proclaiming a certain motive, noting that there still hasn’t been any official announcement, but rather, he was pointing out the hypocrisy we see in cases like this. He notes that when parents are present at school board meetings the NSBA and DOJ will rush to call them domestic terrorists. They’ll even use the counter-terrorism division to look into the matter. But a man with highly-charged, racist political views intentionally runs over old women and children, killing six as of this writing, and we can’t call it terrorism?
You’ve probably noticed by now that when a case doesn’t fit the left’s preferred narrative, another thing DeSantis pointed out, the definition of “terrorism” immediately becomes highly technical and restricted. By contrast, when the press is talking about Kyle Rittenhouse being acquitted, the definition is left broad, as illustrated by MSNBC’s coverage. But the moment it’s a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter, only out of jail because of so-called “bail reform” enacted by a radical prosecutor, then the standards change. The definition of terrorist is now as limited as rural Mississippi’s one-lane dirt road. It’s all very convenient, right?
Teeth were gnashed after DeSantis’ statement, with the Florida press rushing to condemn his remarks. They proved DeSantis’ point in the end.

Everybody can clearly see the games being played. It is a matter of whether Republicans have the courage to speak out about it. DeSantis, as he’s done for years now, continues to show that he has the guts and ability to do so. This is why you shouldn’t let this happen. You must instead attack those who push left-wing narratives.
That means calling out mainstream media hypocrisy. Let them admit their inconsistencies and the loss of credibility they produce. It takes the willingness to be open and willing to listen. This is something far too few Republicans have because they fear what other people might say. DeSantis doesn’t have that issue, and it’s always a breath of fresh air to witness. In short, if your governor isn’t exhibiting that kind of leadership, it’s time to find a new governor.
