Trump’s most slavish imitator tops himself
By 
Nice vaccination center you’ve got there:
Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his decision Wednesday to steer COVID-19 vaccine to a planned community with family ties to a Republican power couple, threatening to pull doses if local officials criticize his distribution methods.
DeSantis is facing questions over his decision to provide seniors living in two of Manatee County’s wealthiest ZIP codes with special access to the vaccine.
The pop-up vaccination site is serving residents of Lakewood Ranch, a planned community in Southwest Florida with family ties to Liz and Dick Uihlein. The New York Times dubbed the pair “the most powerful conservative couple you’ve never heard of.”
The couple’s list of political contributions includes $900,000 Dick Uihlein gave to DeSantis’ political committee in 2018 and 2019.
DeSantis brushed aside concerns of political favoritism during a news conference Wednesday and then issued a warning to local officials complaining about his plan.
“If Manatee County doesn’t like us doing this, we are totally fine with putting this in counties that want it,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis’s handling of this has been so cartoonishly bad and corrupt that he’s probably the top candidate for the Republican nomination in ’24 if a Trump doesn’t run.
