DeSantis is a target because he has been massively successful in Florida and his policies have garnered him an increase in the black vote in the last election. Democrats in the Sunshine State are in disarray, and their desperation comes across in blaming the governor for this racist shooting.
Of course, it’s not just DeSantis getting tarred with the blame. It’s any Republican.
Tim Scott and Nikki Haley both got a mention in the AP piece, and [Steve] Peoples and [Brendan] Farrington made sure to insert their ignorant opinion that “Republicans have little political incentive to appeal to voters of color — in the primary phase of the presidential campaign, at least.” Scott and Haley are both Republicans of color.
