From the Daily Beast:
"For the second consecutive night, 2024 GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis ran into a technical difficulty during an important moment—this time during a Newsmax interview."
Network host Eric Bolling asked him about the NAACP's travel advisory for minorities and LGBTQ+ individuals so utterly out of it that they're willing to spend their money in DeSantis's racist, homophobic, authoritarian state. Notes the Beast parentetically, "Bolling incorrectly referred to the advisory as a 'ban.'"
In his answer, the governor projected: "This is such a stunt. It’s a typical political farce" — while the audience watched "a frozen split-screen."
The feed then resumed, "only to freeze again about 40 seconds later when DeSantis was talking about minorities in places that aren’t Florida.
"Nearly 30 seconds later, the visual feed finally resumed, this time for good."
Or until the next interview, anyway.
DeSantis's campaign once released a video in which a voice thunders: "And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said: 'I need a protector.' So God made a fighter.'" Oh God, you're such a jokester. But he may have a rather partisan side, too. On the ninth day, he just might feed DeSantis's main opponent, Donald Trump, a cholesteral-filled, artery-clogging, "cardiac-event"-inducing cheeseburger.
