Poor 'King DeSantis.' He doesn't know how mask-wearing became so political in Florida

There’s no limit to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ cynicism when it comes to the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. His sick, misleading messaging, too often flippantly delivered, matters.

This week, in one of his make-believe-I-care press conferences, DeSantis had the gall to feign ignorance about the key role he has played fueling a political culture war around masks.

“I don’t know why the masks have politics around it,” DeSantis told journalists. “Let the parent make the decision that’s best for their kids. If you want the masks, do it, if you don’t, don’t — that’s fine.”

But it’s not fine.

There are families like mine having to test their children for COVID — for the second time since school started — because half the charter school they attend in North Florida goes unmasked, thanks to DeSantis.
