DeSantis makes new desperate bid for anti-vaxx crowd as White House dreams fade

The defenestration of president-ish candidate Ron DeSantis continues, though instead of being blithely tossed out a window, he’s being awkwardly squeezed from it like offal through a sausage grinder.

Of course, he hasn’t given up yet! There’s still plenty of time to embarrass and debase himself between now and Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, so he’s doing just that—in part by doubling down on his years-long commitment to killing as many people with preventable diseases as possible. 

At a New Hampshire town hall Wednesday, DeSantis went as MAGA as he possibly could on COVID-19, short of rolling Dr. Anthony Fauci out on a dolly with a rat cage bolted to his head. At one point, the Florida governor even claimed people who take a COVID-19 vaccine are actually more likely to get COVID.

Sure, that may sound bizarre, but remember: This is the same party that’s convinced millions of Americans that cutting wealthy people’s taxes generates more tax revenue.
