And now, back to my extreme criticism of the governors of Texas and Florida …

For those who may not know, Michael Gerson was once a speech-writer for W when he was president. Since those days, Gerson became much less right-wing, and abandoned any affiliation with the GOP as a result of his opposition to Trump. He still is an eloquent and persuasive writer, and he reserves his most scathing words to criticise the present crop of right-wing GOP politicians. I'll provide excerpts. I've added emphasis by
bolding some words:
Gerson doesn't leave his question unanswered. Read on.
I told you Gerson has some very strong words. Strong but on-the-nose. DeSantis and Abbot are sabotaging public health.
