    1. David, one of the few decent people left in this niche, tries to find one prominent Republican, anyone, to defend, and ends up ignoring the very public evidence that Sasse is a treacherous, cowardly, bigoted bully whose support of higher education itself is...contingent. @DavidAFrench/1580341106209759232

    I also have to wonder if David has considered the consequences of a COVID denialist, who regularly and in public speeches traffics in kooky conspiracy theories about labs in China and liberal lockdowns, heading a system tasked with protecting student health in crisis situations.

      David's column ends up being too clever by half, asking about qualifications Sasse demonstrably lacks, while failing to recognize the fact that Sasse's lack of opposition to Florida's new laws, with their ideological litmus tests and forced/banned speech, was the disqualifier.
