“He has always loved embarrassing and humiliating people. I’m speaking for others — he was the biggest dick we knew.” — A college baseball teammate of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), quoted by the Washington Post.

DeSantis Will Wait on More Restrictive Abortion Ban

“The strategy is obvious. Do it after the gubernatorial so as to not piss off suburban women, then screw them over after the election in order to appease fire-breathing pro-lifers in a presidential primary.”
