Gov. Ron DeSantis deserves credit for consistency, calling on yet another Fox News host to help shore up his presidential campaign by hosting a debate.
“If you want to do other debates, Nikki Haley and me, I’m in. Donald Trump and me, I’m in. So just say the word. You’ve shown that you can do it in a way that I think really helps the voter. So I’m game, just let me know,” DeSantis told Sean Hannity.
DeSantis benefited late last month from holding a debate with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Hannity’s show, an event where DeSantis faced little in the way of tough questioning and seemed to benefit from not having multiple candidates on stage with him to distract from his message.
DeSantis told Hannity his supporters “said it was the most substantive debate that they’ve seen in this entire election cycle.”
Whether that’s true or not, DeSantis previously attempted to cajole Haley into a debate hosted by another Fox News host.
Haley shot down the Laura Ingraham call for Haley and DeSantis to debate on her program during a pre-Thanksgiving hit on the “Guy Benson Show.” The former South Carolina Governor said she would see DeSantis in Tuscaloosa, a reference to the fourth and final debate hosted by the Republican National Committee.
During a late November interview on “The Ingraham Angle,” the 2024 presidential candidate said Haley “probably wouldn’t like what the debate would be about.”
That said, it’s arguable that Ingraham’s bias was all too apparent to Haley, given the Fox News host accused the former South Carolina Governor of “political suicide” after she got praise from the center after her performance in the presidential debate in Miami.
“There’s no future in the Republican Party for someone who’s been endorsed by POLITICO and The New York Times,” Ingraham pronounced, as transcribed by Media Matters.
Conversely, Ingraham lauded DeSantis, saying he emerged “strongest” from the debate and was the only candidate with a “presidential” mien.
CNN has offered to host debates in January, in which DeSantis has also agreed to participate. At this point, it appears that the Iowa event scheduled for Jan. 10 may not happen, given Haley’s reported reluctance to commit to it.

Rhonda is grasping and gasping. Fox “news” doesn’t host “debates,” they are partisan-driven clown car pile-ups for ad revenue and angertainement – and neither Hannity nor Ingraham is a serious, credible journalist.
You blew your chances, Rhonda. Nobody wants your culture war nonsense and fake tough guy kill more people persona.

High heels Yes. Glasses No. That makes perfect sense. /s

Translation, Rhonda wants some more debate practice that won’t be seen by independent voters. If Rhonda gets better at debating and makes it to the general, he’ll become President, so he thinks LOL

Dear A. G.,
Thank you for doing the horrific job of having to watch “smiling” Rhonda. I threw up in my mouth when that photo loaded. Your doing a man’s job, sir.

Fox “news” is no “news” – it’s entertainment as argued by the network’s own lawyers in Tucker Carlson’s libel trial. Look it up. So, Rona’s go to platform is not legitimate, duh. He is a deep fake. Pretending to be lunchbox Joe with his Ivy League degrees. And who can forget those shiny white boots? I’m a sometime Fox viewer and it’s entertaining for sure. Geeze, it’s like a slow motion car crash tearing down our National unity-and stressing an “us” versus “them” mentality. Gross. But one must credit the Fox success – many believe that the “election was stolen” and “Trump won” – however the facts don’t support Fox. Rona, if you lie with dogs you get fleas. Scratch away into the political sunset you loser Rona!

Anyone who watches Fox News should read the Order entered on Sept 24,2020 in McDougel v Fox News Network,LLC, Case No. 1:19-cv-11161 USDC SDNY. In the discussion part of this order, the Federal Judge addresses Fox’s argument that it was broadcasting “commentary” not “fact.” Moderate this Florida Politics!
