DeSantis Pulls Out ‘Pornography’ Mid-Debate to Absolutely Torch Newsom
Just to get this out of the way: Yes, any political debate is largely going to be a Rorschach test — most people are far more interested in having their beliefs buttressed instead of challenged.
But even given that admission, it’s hard not to walk away from the ballyhooed — and somewhat inexplicable — Thursday night Fox News debate between Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and feel like DeSantis came away the winner.
Now, it’s certainly fair to question what exactly he won given that Newsom is not a direct political rival at the moment — but it’s undeniable that the Democrat lost something in this exchange.
And given how much Newsom’s greasy, wretched brand of far-leftism has crippled the Golden State, his loss is the country’s gain. For that, DeSantis unequivocally deserves some kudos.
As to how exactly this public flogging unfolded, the Florida governor blitzed Newsom on a variety of topics, but few were as eye-catching as when he brought up the sexual material being presented by Newsom’s public school system — and that’s because he had some visual aids.
“This is a book that’s in some of the schools in California,” DeSantis posted to X. “This is pornography. It’s cartoons. It’s aimed at children — and it’s wrong.
This is a book that’s in some of the schools in California.
This is pornography. It’s cartoons. It’s aimed at children — and it’s wrong.
“The role of the school is to educate kids, not indoctrinate kids,” DeSantis said during the debate. “It’s not to impose an agenda, it’s to do the basics.”
Did Ron DeSantis win this debate with Gavin Newsom?
