DeSantis, Republicans are shamefully scapegoating immigrants on COVID
One of my favorite bumper stickers — and a personal philosophy — says If at first you don’t succeed – blame whoever ain’t here.
That seems to be the motto of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other Republican leaders when it comes to the resurgence of COVID-19 and its variant strains.
The re-emergence of a new strain of the disease that a few short months ago seemed en route to eradication couldn’t possibly have anything to do with their refusal to follow CDC guidelines and implement mask mandates or, with some, discouraging people on vaccinations, could it?
Not to hear them tell it.
DeSantis and others are instead blaming the surge on immigrants crossing over into America on our southern border. “Why don’t you get this border secure?” DeSantis snapped at President Biden in a recent speech when Biden told Republican governors to implement mask mandates or at least get out of the way of institutions that want to impose them.
