Trump is claiming that DeSantis no longer supports Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices, that he’s flip flopping again.
Here is Liz Harrington pushing out Trump’s claim that DeSantis flip-flopped on this:

But is this true? Trump has a questionable record with the truth so far this campaign, so let’s see what DeSantis actually said:
Gov. @RonDeSantis: "None of" Trump's 3 Supreme Court appointees "are at the same level of Justices Thomas and Justice Alito. I think they are the gold standard, and so my justices will be along the lines of a Sam Alito and a Clarence Thomas." pic.twitter.com/fxSPmp2LSt

DeSantis never said he didn’t support Trump’s three picks. Rather, he said he respects them but that they aren’t of as high a caliber as Alito and Thomas.
In other words, Trump is lying again and the truth is obvious for everyone who wants to see it.
