DeSantis is embarrassing Florida.

I believe that a Life Review occurs when you die. You get to see all that you did, and most importantly, how what you did affected the person you did it to. Limbaugh is probably still there, watching the immense pain he stirred up in millions of people.

DeSantis dropped in standing for honoring a hatemonger like Limbaugh. It's okay not to feel joy when someone like that dies; it doesn't do you any good to haul that around. But, the dead man doesn't deserve whitewashing by the public. His appeal was to those that will have to face their own live review one day, and justify the hate they sowed. And, they won't be able to do it.

DeSantis did not do himself any favors, and Limbaugh will be forgotten quickly. To unilaterally decide that someone deserves that honor is repugnant. DeSantis reveals who he really is.

All they are doing is embarrassing themselves in honoring a known loudmouth and scumbag. A 'radio' celebrity. Wow. I imagine that there are tons of good decent honorable Florida people (and I'm lucky enough to have lots of friends down there in FL) that far more deserve this type of honor other than rush limpball.
