Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is refusing to condemn Elon Musk ‘s post endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory, maintaining Sunday that he wasn’t familiar with the post despite it prompting major companies to pull advertising from the billionaire’s X social media platform.
“I did not see the comment,” DeSantis, the governor of Florida, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And so, I know that Elon has had a target on his back ever since he purchased Twitter because I think he’s taking it in a direction that a lot of people who are used to controlling the narrative don’t like.”
Musk has sparked outcry with a recent tweet responding to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and for professing a general indifference to antisemitism. “You have said the actual truth,” Musk tweeted in a reply Wednesday.
Has there ever been a more unlikable Presidential candidate? Seriously. Everything about this guy is unpleasant.
I mean, a rapist actually became the President, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And a mass murderer.
all presidents become mass murderers anyway
Name a United States president since the 1930s that WASN’T guilty of at least one war crime. You can’t!
I was going to say William Henry Harrison, but that was 1841.
Cruz in 2016?
Santorum in 2012?
I think what makes DeSantis different right now, is the circus he’s putting on in FL to try to demonstrate how extreme he can be. So these despicable and see-through shenanigans are fresh in our memory.
