It is absolutely partisan to characterize their actions with the phrase "in complete denial", without acknowledging that there are serious and fatal consequences of any lockdown that must be weighed against the benefits. These governors are probably making a good-faith judgement call which (while perhaps in error) is about as far from "denial" as it is possible to be. What else but partisanship could motivate the ridiculous claim that governors belonging to one political party are flatly ignoring the risk of additional infection? To me personally, the tone comes across as way beyond partisan. It is smug, disgusting bullying.
