Ron DeSantis says ‘fraud’ Kamala Harris needs to come clean about mistakes
Kamala Harris continues to scratch out a lead over Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical matchup.

The former presidential candidate said the interview showed 'the real Kamala ... is not somebody that should be president'

Florida’s Governor is offering a withering performance review of Kamala Harris interview on Fox News.

Ron DeSantis called the Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign a “fraud,” contending who was out of her depth during a pre-taped interview with Bret Baier, saying that cover from “legacy media” and a “gazillion dollars” for ad buys couldn’t camouflage her inherent weaknesses as a candidate.

“She is not able to sit there and answer questions and she has a record that is more liberal than anybody else in national politics,” DeSantis opined, saying the interview was “piercing the veil … of the legacy media,” showing that the “real Kamala” is “not somebody that should be president.”

During the Fox News interview, DeSantis encouraged Harris to consider self-reflection and inventory things that could have been improved.

“What is so wrong with her to just acknowledge that the Biden border policies have failed? Why can’t she just say that? Why can’t she just say, you know what? I was involved in that, but I would do it differently now,” DeSantis wondered.

“Why can’t she acknowledge that the Afghanistan withdrawal was a debacle and that she would do it differently? I mean, there are certain things this administration has done, even if you’re more liberal, you have to admit they’ve been failures, and yet she won’t even acknowledge that so I think that that’s very alarming about the type of leader she would be if she can’t acknowledge past mistakes.”

    I don’t remember hearing Ronnie’s “personal inventory” when he was running for potus. Maybe now that he’s a lame duck 🦆 guv he’ll be more introspective?

    Fraud? Speaking of mistakes: One million deaths from COVID by a man who promoted horse medicine and quackery saying it was just the flu? The former president who believed Putin over US intelligence? The. former president of love letters who legitimized the South Korean dictator? The one with more than half of his former cabinet members, former chair of joint chiefs, and his vice president all saying he is unfit to serve? The man who brags about grabbing women by the privates and adjudicated of sexual abuse and fraud?

    Seriously?

    His reaction is not surprising. He would never have anything good to say about Kamala Harris or Joe Biden. He has insulted their administration time and time again. He is a most ungrateful and nasty little man. The country rejected him for the job. No, Ron, the US doesn’t want to be what Florida has become under your rule.

        Who’s running now?

    Lately ….. the whining from the MAGA Republican contingent is deafening!
    Republican Bobby Jindal’s depiction of the GOP as “the party of stupid” is no longer a magical hypothetical ……it has become a reality.

    Republicans are America’s worst enemy from within!
    Vote all Republicans out of office!

    The only way to make Florida great again is to get rid of that piece of shit governor and all his jackoff appointments and unconstitutional laws they’ve passed. Repeal and resend everything Rhonda has ever done. Then Florida may have a fighting chance.

      Just imagine this state if Gillum would have been elected? Talk about a piece of crap. DeSantis won reelection easily. He is very popular in the state of Florida except with the zombies like yourself.

        Gillum wouldve been hamstrung by the gerrymandered GOP legislature and not much would have changed. There’d be no election police, or an absentee governor, no cops sent to Texas, no migrants hoodwinked to Martha’s Vineyard, no interference with schools and school boards (watch his effort to make school boards partisan get flushed down the toilet), nobody would be trying to ban abortion or prevent adults from using marijuana as they see fit.

        Bobble if you leave your bubble, you might find folks arent thrilled with Ronnie’s effort to turn Florida into a police state. And after years of rising insurance rates with the GOP’s response being protectionism of the insurance companies, just wait till the thousands of folks who suffered under the last two storms get jerked around with denied claims and low ball offers. Florida has problems that cannot be solved hanging around at the Iowa state fair.

          Thank you Joe, Its refreshing and gives a little bit of hope that people are paying attention to DeSantis and his actual actions instead of going of what he says and when he wants to take action. I think that the people of Florida have been pushed to far to the right and on election day I think the color purple will be put back on Florida.

        Didn’t DeSantis get 3.7% in the Florida primary? Nikki beat Ron!
        Creepy how he keeps trying to insert himself into women and girls’ bodies too

        Freedom! Democracy!
        Vote Harris!

    Oh and Kammy is a do nothing fraud and phony that was picked as Joe Biden’s VP for one reason only. Her staff has a history of quitting on her. She is not ready for Prime Time.

      DeSantis top lawyer just resigned staying Rhonda’s dirty tricks, then we had the parks stunt, come on dude, it’s time you woke up! All this gaslighting bullshit you and your republican bafoons keep trying isn’t working. We aren’t buying this nonsense we’re voting for common sense. The Blue Wave is coming!

      She’s a worthless whore that sucked her way to the top. Naturally this kind of scumbaggery is what libturds admire. It represents their core set of values.

        What’s your worth? Name-calling and being extremely degrading towards those you don’t agree with wins over no-one.
        Are you the same guy who tied your dog up by I-75 in floodwater?

    There’s clearly a theme of S&M among MAGA devotees who love DJT because he promises to punish non-conforming elements of the population, the so-called “enemy within”

    More pathetic Rhonda whining. Kamala Harris gave as good as she got in that interview with the Republican Broadcasting Network. The GOP mistakenly got us into Afghanistan. It took Democratic resolve to get us out and a lot of issues about the withdrawal were exaggerated by the right-wing media machine.

      AI Overview
      Between October 7, 2001 and August 30, 2021, the United States lost 2,459 military personnel in the war in Afghanistan:
      Military personnel: 2,459, including 1,922 killed in action
      Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives: 18, including 16 killed by hostile fire
      Civilian contractors: 1,822
      Other casualties include:
      20,769 wounded in action
      Over 30,177 service members and veterans who committed suicide [sic]

      The war in Afghanistan also resulted in:
      At least 66,000 Afghan troops killed
      More than 48,000 Afghan civilians killed
      Injuries and illnesses
      Displacement
      War widows and orphans
      Malnutrition
      Destruction of infrastructure
      Environmental degradation

      To this we add the 13 US personnel who died as the recent evacuation was underway. Their 13 deaths were neither more nor less meaningful than all the other deaths set off by the US military invasion and occupation.
