Tonight Governor Ron DeSantis was asked about Rep. Byron Donalds’ remarks about the curriculum in Florida on CBS Evening News.
There are many more clips from the interview but I’ll start with Donalds, which actually came at the very end.
Watch below:
.@EdOKeefe: "But was picking a fight w/Congressman Donalds on this?"@RonDeSantis: "It's not picking a fight…Floridians should stand up for Florida. Don't side w/Kamala Harris and liberals who are demagoguing…People…worked really hard…Don't side w/Kamala" (11/11) pic.twitter.com/OWBfvY3Qrg

I love it. Don’t stand with Kamala Harris and liberals when they lie about the state! It really is that simple.
I’m going to post the other 10 clips below. DeSantis has great answers to all the questions so don’t be daunted by how many there are because they are typically less than 30-40 seconds.
The first few couple of questions are about Trump’s legal woes and how voters should look at him:
.@RonDeSantis to @EdOKeefe on the state of his campaign: "As a commander, you put out intent about what you want to see…[W]e are in good shape…We will continue to go out and meet w/individual voters & all these early states…and that's really the focus all long." pic.twitter.com/SXXtETu0hf

.@RonDeSantis on whether Trump's legal problems are disqualifying: "[V]oters make that decision…The problem is we have seen political indictments…The election's got to be about the future & the more it's about other things, the more Biden's able to hang out in the basement" pic.twitter.com/GJBlXpy1zF

More @RonDeSantis on Kamala Harris: "Serious scholars put out a huge compendium…She tried to demagogue it, saying somehow that was justifying slavery, which was totally the opposite…Don't try to demagogue…Some people in the press will amplify but…people want the truth." pic.twitter.com/BH5ZjyDFcl
