Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was giving a press briefing on Sunday talking about the rate of nursing home infections of Covid-19 in his state when he casually referred to Florida as “God’s waiting room.” The remark set off a firestorm on Twitter and showed that DeSantis isn’t all that concerned with the elderly population of his state that also serves as the largest chunk of the GOP voting bloc.
