You were quoting a Twitter post, using a CNN link to a different source, and the title that is wrong for the CNN interview. This is false and misleading post.
Quote from another website: DeSantis is being paid under the table thru a shell corp from a company named PARAGON DIAMONDS who also pays dividends to Anthony Fauci. the name DeSanctimonius, DeSanctis Development. Its a shell corp set up by Ronald Dion DeSantis and he takes large hefty payments into that company from Paragon Diamonds.
Exactly how they treated McLame and Pierre Dillecto, which means they’d turn on him in the general election. They don’t like him, they just don’t fear him.
I have now watched both Tucker Carlson’s and Jack Tapper’s interviews of DeSantis.
To compare the two: in the Tapper interview, DeSantis was more explicit about the military, emphasizing that he is a combat veteran. In the Carlson interview, DeSantis was clearer about Ukraine (that our national interest is a sustainable peace in Europe and not the exact details of the border between Ukraine and Russia; and, that we can’t allow Ukraine detract us from defending our own borders and from dealing with China).
DeSantis is boring as compared to Trump. DeSantis comes across as reasonable. He doesn’t scare people. Even DeSantis’ discussion of the weaponization of law enforcement to go after political opponents sounds reasonable. In contrast, Trump connects with people at an emotional level. His rallies were parties. His followers love him and his detractors hate him. Trump derangement syndrome was as real as the positivity.
Trump juiced politics, contributing to a surge in voter participation in 2020. Voter participation increased by 4 percent where states liberalized voting, and by 3 percent in states that didn’t liberalize voting. So, yes, relaxed rules for voting were part of it, but mostly the surge in voter participation was across the boards.
