Politicians cannot answer a straightforward question.

Period.

[alexnguyen]

I’m so glad that Desantis showed us who he truly is before the election 2024

[maureenpeterson]

He just showed his true nature and what he is behind

[chrisborey]

If this guy can’t even answer this question then how can he handle this country?

[robertgardzi]

I don’t want a president that doesn’t answer questions, truthfully

[livelife]

This man has NO chance of beating Trump. ZERO!!!

[whitenoiseihearu]

A real politician.
Hes been placed to split the Republican vote.

[tz]

The minute you compromise, you lose DeSantis.

[candykerr]

He is corrupt. I am glad he has shown us who he is before it was too late.

WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!! WE MUST VOTE OUT ALL OF THE POLITICIANS WHO THREATEN OUR DEMOCRACY.

A real man gives straight answers. A real man is honest and doesn't have to fear the truth

Watching DeSantis’ decline is like watching a plane fall out of the sky over a two week span.

I have always told my friends that Ron is a wolf in sheeps clothing. It's nice to be able to tell them 'see I told you so'😂😂

This is the first time I've heard a news reporter ask a direct question in 5 years.

[a_hol]

When a Republican is interviewed, suddenly, they're actual journalists. When a Democrat is interviewed, they're kindergarteners asking questions.

[jerryjerry]

Man he "CHOKED that one out, You can see him falling unwillingly onto his sword knowing this was the end with forever-trumpers.

[kimchapman]

If you can't answer that question then you have no business running for president in 2024!!!

[AS-dsfh]

Why doesn’t she just say “was the election rigged” ?

[jeffbolton]

Scary how they can’t answer that question.

[kimberlyray]

Politicians Never answer the question directly! They always go around it
