As the popularity of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has risen, it’s become clear that the Democrats have started to up the political threat level. Those rumblings started around last summer when Howard Dean said DeSantis “might be more of a lunatic than Trump ever was.”
Now the lib media has been spotted starting to get in on the act:

Like clockwork:
If you loved Donald Trump, but wish he jailed Fauci and didn't promote the vaccine, there's a presidential candidate for you https://t.co/cu69mPTm3J

They couldn’t be more predictable if they tried.
