Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his call to ban pro-Palestinian groups from Florida state colleges Sunday, after one of his Republican presidential primary opponents, Vivek Ramaswamy, slammed the demand as “a shameful political ploy.”
“It’s unconstitutional. It’s utter hypocrisy for someone who railed against left-wing cancel culture,” Ramaswamy posted on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday, alleging that it violates students’ right to free speech.
DeSantis held firm Sunday.
“This is not cancel culture. This group, they themselves said, in the aftermath of the Hamas attack, that they don’t just stand in solidarity that they are part of this Hamas movement,” DeSantis said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
This is a very weird thing to say, because obviously there is such a thing as truth. Which means it’s entirely possible I understand the truth. But you’re acting as if I couldn’t possibly have simply studied politics long enough to know what the truth is.
Most issues have a correct answer, and you either agree with it or you’re wrong. I suggest you spend more time trying to be correct, and less trying to be right.
I’m done trying to take you seriously. Go be enlightened somewhere else, you intellectual, you.
