DeSantis Watch Statement on Another DeSantis Debate Debacle

Following another Ron DeSantis debate debacle tonight in California, DeSantis Watch Communications Director Anders Croy released the following statement:

“Tonight was another example of why Americans cannot afford Ron DeSantis as president. At a time when Americans are looking for leaders who understand and empathize with their concerns, Ron DeSantis showed again tonight how he will always put his own petty grudges and grievances ahead of their real-life needs. 

“Instead of addressing real issues, Ron DeSantis was nothing more than an angry, red-faced politician whining about how the corporate media is mean to him and bragging about overturning the will of voters to attack his perceived enemies. The American people don’t want to ban abortion or books, they believe in upholding democracy not undermining it, and they want a president who is committed to tackling the affordability crisis, not one who has increased costs on the people he was elected to serve to do the bidding of his billionaire and corporate elite donors.”
