The article goes on to point out that DeSantis was shown Elon's comment and then still refused to condemn it. Rhonda's statement against antisemitism rings very hollow when he refuses to denounce antisemitism that's shown to him.
The guy's actual supporters wave nazi flags. He won't risk disenfranchising them.
I did not see the comment.
Here it is. What do you have to say about it now?
I need more time to process the comment
Is it up for debate whether desaintis is bigoted?
Only for his supporters
I'm pretty sure most of them support him because he's a bigot.
It is, but they also have to keep trying to say he's not one when people point out all the reasons he is one
Has there ever been a more unlikable Presidential candidate? Seriously. Everything about this guy is unpleasant.
I mean, a rapist actually became the President, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And a mass murderer.
all presidents become mass murderers anyway
Name a United States president since the 1930s that WASN'T guilty of at least one war crime. You can't!
I was going to say William Henry Harrison, but that was 1841.
Cruz in 2016?
Santorum in 2012?
I think what makes DeSantis different right now, is the circus he's putting on in FL to try to demonstrate how extreme he can be. So these despicable and see-through shenanigans are fresh in our memory.
DeSantis walks into a bar and sits at a table with 5 Nazis. The table now has six Nazis.
Something that someone pointed out to me several years ago, when there was some scandal in the US Congress and everyone the press contacted was like "I haven't read it so I don't know anything about it": it may or may not be true that he hasn't read it. But he certainly has a staff member who has read it and informed him about it.
"I haven't seen it" is the equivalent of Yes, I know about it, but it would create difficulties for me if I condemn it, so I'm just very conveniently going to avoid 'seeing' it until this blows over. Also, if you continue to press me about the matter, I'm just going to respond that I haven't seen it because I've been focusing on , so there.
He did nazi the comment.
The political equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling LA LA LA LA LA at the top of your lungs when they get asked a question they don't want to answer.
And hypothetically doesn’t want to see it, and refuses to look for it.
What a useless dumbass.
Are we really condemning a politician for not spending their time on Xitter?
Exactly! Since when is it their job to keep track of political debates and news around the world? Politicians have their own shit to handle, we cant just keep pestering them with public worries.
Politicians have their own shit to handle
My point precisely.
You did get the /s in my comment tho right?
Oh yes it was very subtle 👌
Thanks
Are you really equating knowing about a widely reported, highly inflammatory statement by one of the most influential people in America with sitting around all day reading tweets?
No? I'm saying politicians are generally very busy people and it's not even slightly unrealistic to suggest that it's possible that they hadn't heard about it in the last 24 hours.
The fuck is this news story?
He sure seems to have a lot of opinions about something he claims to know nothing about.
see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing
That is a fine stance however it means he then has to go seek it out and update people after he has seen it
Quick somebody show it to him. What a fucking coward.
Maybe he just didn't see it? Smh
