Iowa heckler interrupts Ron DeSantis remarks

DeSantis in prosperity
Audience members have agitated DeSantis throughout the 2024 campaign.

Ron DeSantis event in Iowa was interrupted by a heckler Sunday, though it’s not immediately clear what her message ultimately was.

The Governor was talking about how Florida “beat Fauci on COVID” when a woman began calling out about an alleged “sex offender” in public schools.

DeSantis told her to “stop it.”

“I’m not finished. I’m doing my thing,” DeSantis said.

The interruption lasted less than a minute, allowing DeSantis to talk about removing “Soros prosecutors,” returning to his spiel.

DeSantis has dealt with interruptions on the trail before.

In South Carolina, he was interrupted by someone from the crowd, who called him a “f****** fascist” and briefly derailed a rote speech.

“We’re not going to let you impose an agenda on our kids,” the Governor said. “We’re going to stand up for our kids. We’re going to make sure to do it right. That’s what we’re going to do, yeah!”

In Tega Cay, DeSantis dealt with LGBTQ activists, escorted out after unfurling a rainbow pride flag.

“We don’t want you indoctrinating our children!” DeSantis shouted, per the Post and Courier. “Leave those kids alone.”

Addressing the New Hampshire GOP at the Amos Tuck Dinner, the Governor dealt with some women storming the stage chanting “Jews against DeSantis.

They were removed, with the Governor looking only briefly concerned before offering a quip to return proceedings to normalcy.

“You’ve got to have a little spice in the speech. You’ve got to have a little fun. Why do you want to pay the ticket for that to get in? But different strokes for different folks,” DeSantis said.

      Gotta agree with you on this one, not much to this, especially since no one found out what the woman was talking about.

        No one cares what that woman was talking about. Women talk all the time. We didn’t care then; we don’t care now.

        Nobody knows what Rhonda was talking about either. I think the situation does not qualify as heckling. It’s more like two crazy homeless folks talking over each other and shaking their fists at passersby.

      Good evening to all the “Stalwart Patriots” in The Great State of Iowa”,
      I, Earl Pitts American, appoligise to you that what appears to be A Dook 4 Brains Heckler, most likely from “The Dook State of Dook-A-Fornia” was let loose on your Honarable Political Proceedings.
      Most likely the Heckler was sent to your wonderful State by the Dook Mayor of “Lost Dook 4 Brains Angeles”, “Gavin New-Dook-Some”.
      Thank you Iowa Patriots, One And All, for your Love And Support for “Our Next Commander In Chief, Ron DeSantis and His Lovely Wife Casey.
      Everyone in The Great State of Florida loves everyone in The Great State of Iowa.
      Thank You,
      Earl Pitts American

        earl the sphincter freak, your very lame attempt to copy my WARNING and CAUTION comments was pitiful. the fact that you’re copying me is an example of how weak and innate you are. you even spelled chastised wrong, what a fool. now that i have driven you to copy me, i’m satisfied. a guy who claims to be a sage, and a great whatever, copying a little peon like me is so sad. i have desided to not comment on your posts for a while. you are beneath me in intellect and character, so i have better things to do.

        Go get em Big Earl! Make em squeal like a little piggy! Oink Oink SOOOOIIIEEEE!

        We don’t like your kind around here MICHAEL ROBERTS. Go back to Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach or whatever Sodom or Gomorrah from whence you spawned. Us REAL Floridians don’t like your big city backsass usin them words like “persist” like some clean shaven, sweater-vest wearing, leather-bound book-reading drag queen for kids. You sicko.

        I bet you’re one of them wussy jews that don’t even support Israel right now just cause a couple thousand dead civilians makes your wittle tummy-wummy feel bad. Eggs and omelettes, Mike. Eggs and omelettes. The rapture can’t happen unless all y’all get into it over there real hot and heavy over there. Don’t you want the world to get Jesus back? You’re gonna keep that from us? Y’all killed him once, don’t be a party pooper and keep him from coming back.

          Good evening American Patriots,
          This fake friend lacks “Sage Political Wisdom” and is not someone The Real Deal Earl would hang out with.
          Rather than chastizing this person, fans of Earl Pitts American, let us pray together for this person to one day find their own “Sage Political Wisdom”, political peace/happiness, and sphincter relaxation.
          Thank you America,

          Seriously what are you talking about?. I hate when people say that the are Christians and then turn around and make hateful and unintelligent statements. 1st. If you know your Bible Jesus is coming back regards what ppl do. 2nd Jesus represents love do u know your 10 commandments if not I suggest u read them 3rd Jesus doesn’t need help being God especially by sinful men. God is all knowing and all powerful so do u actually think that He would need our help in doing anything. It was the so call Christians that crucified Him him so do you think that same Christians way going to bring Him back that’s stupid. Jesus is not to be mock. Jesus is love not hate . So read your Bible and pray like we all should and get a better understanding. Hate isn’t the way at all

      Thank you for coming to my defense Michael. You’re OK!!!!
      Just a word of advice:
      Avoid the 3 dreaded “Trifecta Warning signs of dangerous Dook 4 Brains Leftist Individuals”
      These apply to men only:
      1.) The Sweater Vest
      2.) The Bow Tie
      **look outside and check “Their Ride”**
      3) The Subrau SUV
      **IF YOU SEE THESE 3 DANGER SIGNS**
      Run away, do not engage in conversation, do not make eye contact. Head immediatly to the door. By looking out for these 3 warning signs you will have a happy life.
      Thank you Michael,
      Your new Besty, Earl Pitts American
      *science has yet to come up with warning signs for Dook 4 Brains women at this time*
