FREAK OUT: Racist meltdown proves Ron DeSantis isn’t ready for prime time
The secret is out on Gov. Ron DeSantis.
His popularity hinged on protection from tough questions from people who have genuine concerns and disagreements.
His ratings plummeted when he had to venture out into the real world unguarded.
On Thursday, an Air Force veteran confronted the governor about whether his policies, which are stuffed with racial animosity, along with very loose gun laws, set up an environment where the race-based shooting in Jacksonville was inevitable.
“You have allowed people to hunt people like me,” the Black vet confronted the governor.
DeSantis recognized early on that the question was not coming from some fawning Floridian like Kayleigh McEnany but from someone with real concerns that his state is getting increasingly dangerous for people like the black veteran.
Despite the question’s legitimacy — it was only last weekend that white nationalist Nazis organized and marched in an area near Orlando, praising DeSantis, an event that DeSantis has yet to denounce — DeSantis’s anger was apparent only seconds into the question.
DeSantis repeatedly interrupted the man and used the “friendly crowd” to help drown out the question, freeing his inner ass to yell at a black citizen feeling legitimately terrified in Florida.
As you watch the video, note how DeSantis’s handlers move in as the conversation gets more heated, as if it is obvious that the man must leave after challenging and angering DeSantis.
Ron relies on a strictly controlled environment to appear normal. Everyone gets uncomfortable when challenged, but pay attention to how quickly DeSantis attacks this man.
DeSantis is not “defensive”. He is “aggressive” because it’s his only tool when challenged.
