Not to worry, Glennlab, there is plenty of scorn to spare for multiple scumbag grifter politicians.
Truly puzzling.....only the opposite, of course. Utter scumbags!
DeSantis isn't the only Republican profitting from policy positions that spreads COVID.

Sen. Rand Paul disclosed Wednesday that his wife purchased as much as $15,000 in stock in Gilead Sciences, the maker of the antiviral drug known as remdesivir that is used to treat COVID-19. She bought the stock on Feb. 26, 2020, before the World Health Organization had declared the coronavirus a pandemic. That means the disclosure was 16 months late considering that the 2012 Stock Act, meant to combat insider trading in Congress, gives a 45-day deadline to disclose any trades.
Paul, who was the first senator to test positive for COVID-19, has repeatedly pushed back against public health guidelines and recommendations to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The senator found himself engulfed in further controversy earlier this week when YouTube suspended him for seven days on Tuesday after he posted a video claiming cloth masks don’t help prevent COVID-19 infections. It marked the second time in a month that YouTube had removed a video posted by Paul because it was deemed to contain misleading information about masks. Paul, who is now prevented from posting new videos to his account until the suspension is lifted, said on Twitter that the decision was a “badge of honor” and he linked to an alternative site where the video is still up. In a statement, the senator said the company has every right to do what it thinks is right. “As a libertarian-leaning Senator, I think private companies have the right to ban me if they want to, so in this case I’ll just channel that frustration into ensuring the public knows YouTube is acting as an arm of government and censoring their users for contradicting the government,” he said.
It’s a little more complicated, but has bad optics sure:

“ It’s not unusual for hedge funds to have a wide range of investments. And BlackRock, which has primarily donated to Democratic candidates, though has also donated substantially to Republicans, has a large holding in the company – more so than Citadel.”
[…]
“ Citadel’s investment in Regeneron is a tiny fraction of its overall $39 billion in investments, but if the stock price were to go up, Citadel would benefit. DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw points out that Citadel has far greater investments in Moderna and Pfizer, which manufacture COVID-19 vaccines.”
OK, now it makes sense, in a criminal greedy fucking capitalistic sort of way.
So how is this malfeasance and corruption legal?
Republican Supreme Court that said money is speech and corporations are people.
@glennlab but murder is murder.
