DeSantis clearly sees himself running in 2024, either as a replacement for Trump or as a VP. He is trying to be the Trumpiest of all candidates and part of that is the totally despicable and completely un-American practice of distributing vaccine to big donors. Swampy swamp swamp..
there are examples from Bradenton and other places, but this is the latest and ultra rich GOP enclave in the Keys known as "Ocean Reef":
"In fact, the only people from Key Largo who gave to DeSantis’ political committee live in Ocean Reef. All 17 of them had given the governor contributions of $5,000 each through December 2020, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
But on Feb. 25, one resident of Ocean Reef, Bruce Rauner, the former Republican governor of Illinois and former chairman of the Chicago-based private equity firm, GTCR, increased his contribution and wrote a $250,000 check.
Since DeSantis started using the state’s vaccine initiative to steer special pop-up vaccinations to select communities, his political committee has raised $2.7 million in the month of February alone, more than any other month since he first ran for governor in 2018, records show."
the idea that a political leader would use THE DISTRIBUTION a life saving vaccine to raise a war chest for office is not much different than Trump withholding military aid from Ukraine
crazy and straight up immoral
