Ron DeSantis has been one of the more successful governors in handling the pandemic. At least, in my opinion. You wouldn't know that from most media coverage. The New York-based media, some say, have put their support around the New York governor. Some also argue Andrew Cuomo has the worst record. It's almost as if they go harder on DeSantis to distract from what a failure Chris' Idiot Brother is. Though some are more polite about it than others.

One who wasn't polite was this reporter from over the weekend. She looked like she was auditioning to be the girl Jim Acosta. DeSantis had no time for her shenanigans and her carefully scripted monologue. Of course, CNN spent the day attacking him. One "news" anchor even called him an ass. You know, because journalism! Also, the media doesn't play sides.

DeSantis sat down with Tucker to discuss CNN's claim that he "lashed out" at their reporter.

You know what, I don't seek validation by the media. What I seek is supporting the citizens of my state, and I can't tell you, as this pandemic has worn on, the number of times someone has come up to me with tears in their eyes saying, "If it wasn't for you, my kid would not be in school and I would not have my job."

That is why I'm in this job.

Side note: Fox News' chyron game was totally on point during this segment.

It's going to be interesting looking back when/if this pandemic ends. Looking at each leader's record when it's over. Far away from social media demanding a response to every decision as it happens. I believe the governors who didn't lockdown or changed correction early will be viewed as having made the right decisions. The governors who got a little too liberal with the restrictions won't. Though they'll still be praised in the media. Because those governors are all Democrats.

I refuse to think about 2024 outside of who looks good on camera and can handle the media well. Right now, DeSantis checks both boxes.
