Politico quotes one advisor to Gov. DeSantis: “It was about making it harder for people to get benefits or keep benefits so that the unemployment numbers were low to give the [former Gov. Rick Scott] something to brag about.”
This is bananas.
Florida Republicans intentionally made the unemployment-application system impossible to navigate so (1) they’d pay fewer benefits; and (2) they could pretend unemployment doesn’t exist.
Now they’re freaking about the political fallout.
Vote. For. Democrats. https://t.co/JvP72DTPUZ
