As President Obama would say, Please Proceed. The sane reaction to your nonsense may save our democracy after all.

“A rising Republican star.” In other words desantis is a turd in a punchbowl. Please conservatives Keep on rocking and rolling with those conservative values. And when the next wave of Covid hits keep on denying.
