Lowering the bar on lowering the flag: Gov. Ron DuhSantis continues to distance himself from that post-Rick Scott, rookie Republican governor who initially seemed nigh on to normal. Remember the resilience agenda? Since then, he’s been doubling down on right-wing agendas—from pushing for big fines on big tech for deplatforming certain politicians to enabling vaccine shots for a higher-end, zip-code community to snarky comments about the new Administration in Washington. And now the latest manifestation of someone who remains a Fox-friendly, sniveling Trumpster: Ordering state flags at half mast on public buildings in, uh, honor of Rush Limbaugh.

Honor? Limbaugh was sexist, racist and homophobic. He was the embodiment of divisiveness in a country democratically devolving. But according to DuhSantis, he was well worth half-mast flags that typically salute those who protect us—not divide us. “Rush is the (greatest of all time)–of radio, of conservative media and of inspiring a loyal army of American patriots,” declared DuhSantis.

And where will DuhSantis be this weekend? He’ll be at the annual CPAC conference on Saturday in Orlando. That’s where Trump will make his first post-presidential appearance. DuhSantis will be there representing the Trump wing of the GOP. Other invitees include Mike Pompeo, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz—unless he stays in Texas to feign fealty to constituents still trying to recover from that disastrous winter storm.
