Protesting is NOT a Crime...Justice for the Tampa 5!

Fox Host Asks Ron DeSantis Why His Campaign Sucks So Badly
Fox host Maria Bartiromo didn't hold back during an interview with Florida governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis over the weekend, and she asked him frankly what has happened to his campaign.

DeSantis said he would not.
