Late Night Open Thread: Please Ignore What I Just Did Edition
By By special request!
Speaking of Three Fingers Ron, I don’t know if he’s smart enough not to run this cycle but he is smart enough to know that the atavistic legislation he just signed is a massive political loser:
There are signs that DeSantis was attempting to limit the blast radius of his decision to sign the measure. He signed the legislation late Thursday night — around 11 p.m. — with little fanfare, a notable shift from when he signed the 15-week abortion ban last year at a Spanish-speaking church amid scheduled speeches and a protracted ceremony.
DeSantis also did not address the abortion legislation at his stops in Ohio on Thursday, even as he was promoting all his accomplishments in Florida.
And notably, at an appearance at the conservative Liberty University in Virginia on Friday, the school’s new chancellor Jonathan Falwell referred to the legislation in his introduction of DeSantis, but the governor himself did not mention it in front of what likely would have been a receptive audience.
Republicans are entirely rational to fear democracy.
