Ron DeSantis

Liberals can be really hateful people on television, and they know how to keep their audiences in a high state of panic over conservatives. They have zero fear of the “independent fact checkers,” so they can just spew crazy stuff. But when they shovel the alarmism with a name like “Joy” or “Jolly,” it’s especially strange.

After launching his presidential campaign on Twitter Spaces, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was condemned by PolitiFact for his assertion that Florida has not banned any books. That summary did not give DeSantis a rating for his claims, but on Wednesday PolitiFact returned to the claim and rated it “false.” Yet, the article itself suggests that a “false” rating is overzealous and is ultimately…

PBS reporter Lisa Desjardins gave Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis a chilly welcome to the 2024 presidential race on Wednesday, before his Twitter-hosted interview with Twitter owner Elon Musk. Desjardins included positive details about the new candidate, standard practice when introducing new candidates into the presidential race (at least Democratic ones). But she also poisoned the paragraph…

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way” is an old and familiar quotation, often attributed to Albert Einstein, who was on to something almost as significant as E=MC2. What if there is no will, is there still a way? It doesn’t seem likely. In Washington, will has come to die to paraphrase Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida and now Republican presidential candidate. Rarely is anything significant…

MSNBC’s Joy Reid had some gloomy and hysterical predictions for what the future holds if America elects “toy-sized Mussolini Ron DeSantis” in 2024 on Tuesday’s installment of The ReidOut. As Reid tells it if DeSantis were to become president, America would turn into “China, Cuba, North Korea, Afghanistan, or Iran.”

As the only network morning show Tuesday to cover the 2024 campaign, ABC’s Good Morning America again did the bidding of parent company Disney by bashing Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). Unsurprisingly, they continuing to fixate five days later on the bandwidth issues with his 2024 presidential campaign launch on Twitter, whined his interviews have been with conservative talk radio hots…

In a segment roundly condemned for its predictability and the shallowness of the bitterly jealous man behind it, Sunday’s Mehdi Hasan Show featured former Florida Republican congressman-turned-supposed free thinker David Jolly proclaiming Florida Governor and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis as both “a very dark figure” and “far more dangerous than Donald Trump.”

The View’s Alyssa Farah Griffin and New York Times national politics reporter Astead Herndon joined Tuesday’s CNN This Morning to discuss Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign and the state of the 2024 GOP Primary. During the conversation, Herndon would accuse DeSantis and former President Donald Trump of “outgrievancing” each other because that is what…

Jeffrey Schweers, Tallahassee bureau reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, marked Gov. Ron DeSantis’s official entry into the presidential race with a 4,600-word story on Sunday’s front page, “Who Is Ron DeSantis?” The front-page jump leads to a two-page spread inside the paper, both pages headlined with quotes accusing DeSantis of arrogance and bullying. DeSantis was previously…

Tuesday’s edition of Amanpour & Co. featured an unusually testy interview, conducted by journalist Walter Isaacson, with Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review. It’s rare that conservatives appear on Amanpour on taxpayer-funded PBS, and the resulting clash between liberal and conservative journalist threw off a few polite sparks about DeSantis vs. Disney.

On Wednesday, Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis made his long-awaited presidential campaign announcement during a Twitter space with Elon Musk followed by numerous appearances on cable news and radio. Later on Wednesday evening, DeSantis held a call with members of conservative media where they asked the governor questions about how he’ll beat Donald Trump and what he’ll do if he’s…

On Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC were ebullient at the initial technical failures of Twitter Spaces for Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) 2024 presidential campaign announcement, seeking to kill DeSantis’s campaign and clear the GOP field. Over five different segments, they barely touched on what DeSantis said and instead reveled in the “mess” that was “…

How many PolitiFact fact-checkers does it take to fact-check a presidential announcement? Apparently four, as that is how many reporters it took to assess seven statements from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Wednesday campaign launch on Twitter Spaces.

ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg has used her platform on The View to push some pretty wild conspiracy theories. On Wednesday she popped off with a particularly loopy one, accusing Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of using a body double in a campaign teaser video his wife Casey DeSantis put out on Tuesday. She also accused him of being a racist, asking, “Why do you dislike people of…
