Calls for GOP Governors to resign for their handling of Covid-19

One Texas doctor reports that young patients are dying, and hospital beds are quickly running out.

Abbott’s failure to listen to health experts cost lives in Texas, and #AbbottResign trended on Twitter. However, in Ector County, Republican leaders met to censure the Governor on the 4th of July. They claim the Governor used constitutional overreach in his executive orders by enforcing mask-wearing.

So, Gov. Abbott is facing calls to resign both for enforcing mask-wearing and for failing to act.

In Arizona, Gov. Doug Ducey, also Republican, reopened businesses in early May. Now, the state of 7 million people is reporting around as many new cases each day as the whole European Union, with some 446 million people.

Meanwhile, in Florida, the total coronavirus cases are over 200K as the Sunshine State added 40K new cases in four days. Once again, a Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis, rushed to reopen the state.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a Trump fanboy who dragged his feet after receiving warnings to issue a stay-at-home order and then rushed to reopen despite advice from health experts, blames the media and protesters for the frightful increase in cases. The responsibility is his. As of now, DeSantis has not canceled his invitation for Trump’s Republican convention in Jacksonville. (Cases are soaring in Duval County, as they are around the state.),” writes Rubin.

Rubin calls for the resignation of these Republican governors whose “recklessness and incompetence” imperils all Americans. Of course, they are following Trump’s lead in rejecting science. (and common sense)

Today, Trump continues to blame the numbers of cases on testing, throwing in his usual racist rhetoric for his base. If anybody should resign first, it’s Trump for endangering Americans in more ways than one.

3. Most of the FL east coast beaches were open on the 4th

Some sheriff said that people were going to social distance on the beach. I think Daytona was expecting 300,000 on the 4th and the beaches just south 100,000 each.

4. The dumbasses are out in droves all around Florida, seemingly immune to the virus, but ready to

spread it to whomever they come in contact with, precautions be damned. Trump and DeSantis have set a good example.

Divided America.
