Ron DeSantis

CNN’s voice of reason Scott Jennings displayed amazing patience on Friday’s CNN Tonight as he calmly debunked self-righteous senior political correspondent John Avlon and condescending former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner on the issue of what exactly Florida requires as part of its history curriculum.

On Morning Joe, Scarborough suggests that DeSantis is akin to Jeb in 2015: someone loved by the donor class, but who can't stand up to Trump. Scarborough predicts that DeSantis will decide not to run in '24, will finish his gubernatorial term with sky-high approval ratings, then run in 2026 when he doesn't have to worry about facing Trump.

On Thursday night's The ReidOut on MSNBC, the vile and venomous Joy Reid threw a temper tantrum over Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis allegedly banning an AP class called "African American Studies" from being taught in Florida public high schools. Instead of making a coherent argument for why a class like that should be taught, Reid accused DeSantis of approving a course that…

MSNBC and CNN are not pleased with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ latest attempts to stop woke-ism in Florida with Alex Wagner sarcastically congratulating him for “keeping hockey white” on Wednesday while Wagner and Friday’s CNN This Morning both acted as if Florida will no longer be teaching history.

On Morning Joe, reacting to Donald Trump saying that if Ron DeSantis runs against him, "we'll handle that the way I handle things," Joe Scarborough said: "sounds like a mob threat."
 

New York Times media reporter Michael Grynbaum pouted about Florida’s governor and potential Republican presidential candidate thumbing his nose at the “national non-partisan” (!) media, in “Can Ron DeSantis Avoid Meeting the Press?” Grynbaum sympathized with a poor young ABC News reporter who couldn’t get a DeSantis interview. He actually forwarded praise of Trump to make DeSantis (…

It’s now been three years since COVID hit. At the start of the pandemic, “experts” shouted: “Stay home!” “Close schools!” “Wash your hands!” “Disinfect countertops!” Clearly, disinfecting countertops and washing hands made no difference. What about closing schools and lockdowns? The media trashed Gov. Ron DeSantis when he lifted Florida’s lockdown. “Acting irresponsibly!” roared MSNBC’s Dr.…

On MSNBC’s Deadline: White House on Monday, disgraced former Obama National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes attempted to associate ousted Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro with former President Donald Trump and Florida Republican governor Ron DeSantis by claiming he fled to Florida because it’s an authoritarian state. 

The Hollywood press does more than cover the entertainment industry.

If MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough’s new year’s resolution was to avoid the death of irony, he has already failed. On Thursday’s show, Scarborough took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s inaugural address and wondered what kind of idiot believes him because such talk is what causes Republicans to lose elections. Again, this was in response to an inaugural address…

On the first show of the new year, ABC’s This Week co-anchor John Karl granted a friendly softball interview with zero challenging questions to the newly elected radical leftist Congressman-elect Maxwell Frost (FL-10). One of the more outrageous moments came when Karl touted Frost accosting Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis at an event that Frost admitted was private. 

On MSNBC's Velshi show, Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali said that although Trump isn't the same candidate he was in 2016 or 2020, "MAGA just isn't into" Ron DeSantis. "I'll believe it when I see it, right? I'll believe it when Brutus actually takes out Julius Caesar." For those not up on their Roman history, Brutus stabbed Caesar to death.

Between calls for gun control, the demise of Roe v. Wade, and the regular news cycle, it was a year where the hosts of late night traded in their jokes for liberal rants, lectures, and other wandering pontifications. So, without further ado, here are the top -- or maybe bottom 10 -- moments of late night 2022.

The New York Times is already trying to poison the political well against Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2024. Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for Bill Clinton turned liberal journalist, reviewed the book “Freedom’s Dominion” by Vanderbilt University historian Jefferson Cowie, and reached beyond the actual content to paint it as a…
