Ron DeSantis is Timothy Robinson of \u200dJacksonville, a\u2064 57-year-old Air\u200c Force\u2063 veteran. An\u2063 earlier version of this article\u2064 and\u2064 its headline included an inaccurate description of Robinson. Both have been\u2062 revised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>The argument about \u200bwhether there is one truth or many goes back to ancient \u2064Greece.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/parmenides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parmenides\u2064 of Elea<\/a>, who was\u2063 active in the earlier part of \u2062the 5th century B.C., championed the one-truth theory well before\u2062 the birth \u200cof Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>He wrote, \u201cWe\u2062 can speak and \u200bthink only of what exists. And what exists \u200dis uncreated and imperishable for it is whole \u200band unchanging and complete. It was not\u200d or nor shall be different since \u200cit is now, all at once, one and \u2063continuous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064many-truths notion got footing with Heraclitus, who \u200cwas active around \u2062500 \u2064B.C. <a href=\"https:\/\/plato.stanford.edu\/entries\/heraclitus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heraclitus<\/a> believed that \u200c\u201ceverything is in constant flux\u201d and contradictory propositions must be true.<\/p>\n<p>The argument is alive and\u2063 well today. Conservatives \u2063like Florida\u2019s GOP governor\u200b and presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis take up the position of Parmenides.<\/p>\n<p>For example, DeSantis, when blamed for the horrific murders of three black people at the hands \u2062of a deranged racist killer in Jacksonville in August, retorted, \u201cI am not going to let you accuse me of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-defends-crime-policies-you-dont-get-to-come-here-and-blame-me-for-some-madman\/\" title=\"DeSantis stands firm on crime policies: 'I won't be blamed for one person's actions.'\">committing criminal activity<\/a>\u2064 \u2026 There is\u2063 <strong>THE truth<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s not everyone has their own truth \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It happened \u2062Thursday at Culhane\u2019s \u200dIrish Pub and\u2062 Restaurant in Jacksonville,\u2063 according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstcoastnews.com\/article\/news\/politics\/veteran-removed-from-desantis-press-conference-said-governors-policies-responsible-for-mass-shooting\/77-b1648ea7-ebf3-4a16-94cb-2c17bc923854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">First Coast News<\/a>, which identified the man accusing DeSantis \u200bas \u200c57-year-old Timothy Robinson of Jacksonville.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange was posted on\u200c X by\u200d DeSantis War Room.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">  MUST WATCH <\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u200c SHUTS\u2064 DOWN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-child-soldiers-of-portland\/\" title=\"Portland's Child Soldiers\">left-wing\u200d activist<\/a>: \u201cI am not going to let you accuse me of committing criminal activity.
