As much as I hate DeSantis, at least it is what I expect from the Republican Party.

I hate it more when Democrats do crap like this:

Earlier that day, January 24, 1992, then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton had left the presidential campaign trail to be home for Rector's execution. State law did not require the governor's presence, but politics did: Clinton wanted to raise his national profile and reverse the Democratic Party's soft-on-crime image.
