Crist Blasts DeSantis Over His Joe Rogan Comments

“Joe Rogan was right to apologize. As a successful public figure with a large following, he has a special responsibility for the impact his words have. Everyone makes mistakes, and it takes a responsible person to admit when they messed up. That’s why it’s deeply disappointing and offensive to all Floridians that Gov. DeSantis would reject Joe Rogan’s apology. Gov. DeSantis continues to stoke the most divisive elements in our society, from his failure to condemn the Nazis to his promotion of a disgusting racial slur. Florida deserves better.”

— Rep. Charlie Crist, a Democratic candidate for Florida governor, rebuked incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis Thursday for a “shameful statement” regarding Joe Rogan. DeSantis said Rogan should not have apologized for remarks that included racial slurs over the years, a sentiment Crist vigorously contests.

DeSantis Offers His Own ‘Total Bunk’ on Rift with Trump

“Donald Trump’s a friend of mine. He is proud when people do well, and it’s not just me, but obviously he’s a Florida resident, and he appreciates the job that we’ve done. He’s told me that many times, not only with helping with the election, but just how we govern the state.”

— Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) told Fox News that reports that his relationship with former President Trump has become frayed are “total bunk.”

Florida’s waffling governor continued his obfuscation campaign this week when he refused to condemn Nazi rallies staged in Orlando last weekend.

According to the Jerusalem Post, DeSantis met calls from the Anti-Defamation League and numerous other entities to speak out against the obviously inciteful and spiteful rallies. Gov. DullSantis’ response — these were just attempts by his detractors to “smear” him and said “We are not going to play their game.”

In his defense, it should be noted that DeSantis did call the Nazis in Orlando “jackasses,” which seems to be his strongest position yet on the rise of neo-Nazism in the United States.

Kind of reminds one of his waffling over whether he had received a COVID booster shot, which prompted Donald Trump to label him “gutless.”

Sorry, Ron, but Nazism is not a game, and no matter what Ms. Pushaw alleges, these were real Nazis, not actors hired by the left, and the menace they represent is real.
