'Emperor with no clothes': DeSantis mocked for being unable to say how he would handle Ukraine
Florida's Governor
Ron DeSantis is frequently found standing before a podium, facing the cameras, attacking "woke" Democrats while promoting legislation some call
fascist and pursuing an authoritarian agenda. But when asked by a reporter how he would handle the war in Ukraine as President and Commander-in Chief, the far-right Republican was suddenly unable to offer a response.
The New York Times on Thursday detailed DeSantis' media strategy as he appears to ramp up a likely White House run: he is only talking to Rupert Murdoch's people.
The Times of London's David Charter, the newspaper’s U.S. editor, "writes that when he asked Mr. DeSantis how he would handle American relations with Ukraine, the governor referred 'to Biden being ‘weak on the world stage’ and failing at deterrence.'"
"Mr. Charter pressed for more detail: How would a President DeSantis handle the conflict in Ukraine?"
DeSantis, it appears, grew irritated.
“'Perhaps you should cover some other ground?' the governor replied. 'I think I’ve said enough.'”
"When he's pressed for details on how he'd handle Ukraine, he completely shuts down and demands the reporter ask him something else."
