‘No, DeSantis Isn’t Worse Than Trump’

I wrote at Politico today against the idiotic argument that DeSantis is somehow worse than Trump:

By any reasonable standard, DeSantis’ supposed sins are peccadilloes compared to those of Trump.

Trump tried to bully his vice president into changing or blocking the counting of the electoral votes and then sat contentedly as a braying mob targeted him; DeSantis ended Florida’s Covid strictures earlier than most other states.

Trump may or may not have lunged at the steering wheel of his SUV as it took him back to the White House on Jan. 6 instead of to the U.S. Capitol; DeSantis signed a bill to prevent kids from being taught about sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools in grades K-3.

Trump has continued to promote conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and endorse candidates who believe or pretend to believe in them; DeSantis criticized Anthony Fauci.
