During a recent interview with CNN, Bill Maher, the host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, offered praise for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Maher, DeSantis took a “targeted” approach that protected the elderly and kept beaches open, which was smarter than what his critics suggested he should have done.
While DeSantis is known for being an old-school Republican who takes care of business, Maher also acknowledged that he can be a performance artist who throws red meat to the base when he needs to. Maher praised DeSantis for being able to ride both of those horses, saying that it’s necessary for anyone who wants to have a future in the Republican party.
Maher’s comments show that there is bipartisan support for some of the measures taken by DeSantis during the pandemic. Despite criticism from Democrats, it seems that DeSantis’ approach has earned the respect of some unlikely admirers.
As the pandemic continues to impact the country, it will be interesting to see how other politicians handle the crisis. For now, it seems that DeSantis’ targeted approach has been successful, and that even those who disagree with him politically can acknowledge his efforts.
