Florida's governor tried to put the best face on things after Trey Gowdy's quips.
05/24/2023 09:28 PM EDTFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ botched Twitter campaign launch was the subject of some teasing on Fox News on Wednesday night, though the jokes were mainly at Twitter’s expense.
“I don’t know if that’s what happened with Elon Musk or not, maybe [you] just had a big audience,” added Gowdy, a former Republican member of Congress from South Carolina. The interview, DeSantis’ first after officially entering the race, featured some of the Florida governor’s favorite talking points. He spoke of his legal battle with Disney, though he declined to provide specifics on how he plans to end that fight. As president, DeSantis said he would “lean in against woke ideology and against the sexualization of children,” and promised that he would ensure “that woke ideology ends up in the dustbin of history.
"[DeSantis’] live Twitter announcement with Elon Musk — that did not go well after Twitter had one technical glitch after another, but Ron DeSantis is hugely popular,” Hannity said. “He’s an accomplished governor from the free state of Florida. He won reelection by a million and a half votes, which was a record, taking majorities in both red and blue counties. And as of now, DeSantis has a lot of ground to make up if he wants to challenge former President Donald Trump for the nomination.
