Tonight during their debate, Charlie Crist tried to put Governor DeSantis on the spot regarding 2024, asking him to commit to staying governor for four years and not run in 2024.
But DeSantis refused to take the bait and answer Crist. Then he dropped a bomb on Crist:
WATCH: At debate, Florida Gov. DeSantis asked about a possible run for President: "The only worn-out old donkey I'm looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Christ."

“The only worn-out old donkey I’m looking to put out to pasture is Charlie Christ”
That was perfectly played by DeSantis.
Here’s a few other highlights from the debate:

DeSantis: "I'm simply defending parents and students, because…it's inappropriate to tell a 6-year-old that they were born in the wrong body. It's inappropriate to tell an 8-year old that they may have been born a girl, but maybe they're really a boy, that's wrong." pic.twitter.com/pSWeX6K5Uq

DeSantis: "You know what [Charlie Crist] was doing during [hurricane Ian]? He was in hiding out in Puerto Rico. He wasn't helping his community here, and then when he got back…his campaign was soliciting campaign contributions from storm victims. That is unacceptable." pic.twitter.com/isMVJYfple

DeSantis: "I'm proud of our history. I don't want to teach kids to hate this country, I don't want to teach kids to hate each other, and the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." pic.twitter.com/4W767TDUZg

DeSantis: "I oppose allowing school districts to force students to get the Covid shot….I think this is a parent's decision. I think it's wrong to force this on these kids and as long as I'm governor, as a parent you're going to have the ability to make that decision." pic.twitter.com/KN2q9cKUJ1
