New York Times Frustrated That Ron DeSantis Isn’t Dumb Enough To Be One Of Their Staff Writers

Recent articles in The New York Times illustrate how frustrated the national media are at not being able to find anything wrong with Florida Governor. Ron DeSantis.

Why is he not calling Donald Trump a fathead yet on Twitter? All the women who want him to be accused of being a rapper? Why doesn’t he change his positions that are popular among voters?!

It’s possible for any of these scenarios to become reality at any time, but Republicans rarely have high hopes. The Times must for now focus on DeSantis’ inability to be more easily attacked.

Jennifer Szalai, Times book critic, has provided a great example. Take DeSantis’ new book is a huge letdown. “free of anything that resembles charisma, or a discernible sense of humor.” DeSantis previously wrote a book called “The Secret History of the World”. “weird and esoteric,” Szalai was disappointed with the new one. “reads like a politician’s memoir churned out by ChatGPT.”

Translation: Why was there nothing for me to call racists?! Why didn’t Ron include something easily mocked? “election denialism”?!

The book is boring, I’m sure. The books of political figures are always boring. Trump’s book is an exception. This is why you’ve never heard a single line from it quoted elsewhere. That’s not the problem. 1 problem with a likely presidential candidate who has engaged — and won! — some highly consequential political battles, it seems to be slightly beside the point.

You might consider giving the DeSantis book as a gift to your least favorite spouse. The governor, on the other hand has a strong track record of opposing Democrat-favored societal locksdowns, banning corporate vaccination coercion and steering public institutions away. “social justice” Genre “queer” These ideologies are the latest fad.

DeSantis was also analyzed in a terrible way Last week Times by David Brooks. He was genuinely critical of the governor’s inability to declare a grand-war strategy for Ukraine. After being asked about President Biden, DeSantis had given an interview on TV in which he spoke out on the conflict. Visit Kyiv. He expressed concern that it would lead to the U.S. becoming more involved in a war with no clear American interest (fact), and in a manner that could bring us closer to a Third World War (fact).

Brooks acknowledged that Brooks took this position. “It’s not clear if DeSantis is for more Ukraine aid or not. No one can quite pin him down. Tippity tap. Tappity tip.”

It’s a bizarre gripe. DeSantis is a high-ranking state leader who has no authority to act outside Florida or in corrupt Eastern European countries. (Russia is no better. His current opinion is meaningless on the matter.

It’s difficult right now to say unambiguously what we should do for Ukraine. This is because it’s very hard to fix something that someone else has done. Unresolved foreign conflicts could have been resolved quickly without our involvement.
