What's up with these Morning Joe regulars who had cultivated something of a benign image suddenly turning nasty?
Yesterday, we noted BBCer Katty Kay with a mocking laugh as she suggested to Charlie Sykes that they do a DeSantis post-mortem, "before we consign him to oblivion and forget his name."
Today, it was Eugene Robinson's turn to turn mean. Though Robinson is an ardent liberal, he has something of an avuncular air about him. But both in his current Washington Post column, snidely entitled "The Nation's Gain is Florida's Loss," and on today's Morning Joe, Robinson took nasty swipes at Ron DeSantis as the Florida governor exited the GOP primary stage.
The show quoted Robinson's very strained analogy in his column [emphasis added], "I fear DeSantis will continue using the state as a stage to boost his MAGA profile — just like those awfully high heels on his cowboy boots."

Kicking a man when he’s down is a true sign of a yellow coward
“...avuncular air about him.”
Really? Dude looks more like a creepy pedophile. John Candy in “Uncle Buck” did a great job portraying an individual with an avuncular air about him.
He didn’t say anything that Trump hasn’t already said about DeSantis.
Trump buried the hatchet immediately and publicly. He didn't kick him while he was down, like this lot.
But I don't listen so much to what a NYC loudmouth says, as look at what he DOES.
Not so sure how deep Trump buried the hatchet.
It was reported that, upon DeSantis dropping out and endorsing him, Trump said he’d no longer use the “DeSanctimonious” label, but used it again today.
Sounds like a bitter tacky queen.
No, he’s a tool. He’s always been a tool.
Avuncular my @$$!
And kicking a man who’s so short that you don’t know he’s down, is even worse.
