Governor Ron DeSantis demagoguery on immigration and the southern border reached a new low on Wednesday as he said President Biden should have “honorary membership” in drug cartels as part of a longer diatribe about a number of cultural issues.

The line was another incendiary flash point in a longer rant about immigration, “woke” corporations, Disney, Covid restrictions and freedom (despite Florida’s own poor record in protecting public health), “free speech,” and transgender athletes.
