Two Republican congressmen denounced a leak of Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' debate prep videos from his 2018 campaign that were reported by ABC News Sunday.
"Is there any issue upon which you disagree with President Trump?" DeSantis was asked by Gaetz in a mock debate for governor."Obviously there is because, I mean, I voted contrary to him in the Congress," DeSantis continued."I have to frame it in a way that's not going to piss off all his voters."
Dave Abrams, a spokesman for DeSantis' political team, dismissed the leak in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Another swing and a miss from Disney-funded ABC," Abrams said."The best their propaganda machine could do with the 2.5 hours of leaked footage is further [proof] that Ron DeSantis is unwilling to be anyone but his authentic self – no matter the politics."
DeSantis said in the tapes he would make clear he supports Trump's agenda. The then-congressman won the endorsement of Trump for his governor bid.Fox News' Hanna Panreck contributed to this report.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
