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. She pointed out that he is losing ground in the polls as Trump's support grows, and DeSantis simply laughed it off like it was no big deal. DeSantis is quickly becoming the biggest flop that the Republicans have had in a long time, and the real reason is glaringly obvious, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

DeSantis won’t decriminalize cannabis if elected president, but would any other candidate?

Taking questions on the campaign trail in South Carolina last month, Ron DeSantis was asked by a man, who would identify himself only as speaking on behalf of military veterans who have endured illness and injury while serving, whether he would decriminalize marijuana if elected president next year.

DeSantis said he would not.

“So when people say that we’re going to somehow cut seniors, so that is totally not true,” DeSantis added. “Talking about making changes for people in their thirties or forties so that the program is viable: You know, that’s a much different thing and that’s something that I think that there’s going to need to be discussions on.”....MORE
