Chris,
You've been obsessively attacking one Governor on a monthly basis since March 2020 on Covid-19. You've been wrong on almost every element of it, but keep doubling down.
Isn't it time to stop digging at some point?

I'm not even exaggerating. He attacked DeSantis on beaches, on opening schools, and everything else. He's focused on one Governor since March 2020 no matter what the data said... 
CC has written more articles on Ron DeSantis than any other person over the last year and a half and all of them have the same message, which just isn't supported by anything substantive.
Even if DeSantis was doing a terrible job, why does the Political Editor of a national news organization keep writing the same article over and over about 1 Governor?
And eventually don't you need some data to justify that he's deserving of that type of coverage?

And notice what he does: Every time there was a spike in Florida it becomes evidence that DeSantis is a disaster and has no idea what he's doing, then CC ignores spikes in other states and stays silent until next wave to claim the same thing again. The conclusion is set.
If DeSantis was hitting new lows in April 2020, wrong on everything by July 2020, and careless since, shouldn't overall numbers reflect it?
Shouldn't FL be in top 5 in deaths per capita instead of 26th? Why did all the rich ppl from NY, NJ, and CA go to FL for the winter?

What real measures justify these monthly declarations since March 2020? FL has the highest vaccination rate of any Trump-voting state. Higher for elderly than NY, CA etc.
Better unemployment rate. Lower deaths per capita. Schools were open last year etc.

None of that means DeSantis is above criticism or always right. I think some of his opposition to mandates is excessive (ex: cruises), but the standard isn't perfection, and the people that have been wrong about him since early last year can probably sit that discussion out.
