“Are you in high school? said Mr. DeSantis, who has faced criticism as a candidate for not being fluid when interacting with voters and journalists, a dynamic that has made for some awkward exchanges on the campaign trail.

The Florida governor pivoted, arguing that if the 2024 election focused on “relitigating things that happened two, three years ago, we’re going to lose.”

That’s not why you’re going to lose, Ron. You’re going to lose because we can all see what a weak and uncharismatic loser you are. This man is the governor of a state, and he’s too weak to answer a 15 year old kid’s questions. What a coward.

The event staff fucked up thinking they were ejecting some no-name punk. This young man has a platform and the ability to do damage to campaigns that are afraid to answer tough questions and who instead toss out the people asking them. He's built up a following online and has made a bit of a name for himself in New England.

Thank god the cops didn't beat the shit out of the kid too. They would have if he was black.

Oh, you mean the shit you guys last did when in power?
I wonder why you might not want to talk about that?
Do you not want to admit that you're going to do exactly the same shit all over again?

Brought to you by the party of "just asking questions".

Lol, fucking fragile traitor snowflakes.

What a bunch of delicate fragile snowflake princesses. Reminder that these candidates are running for the toughest job in government and feel threatened by interacting with a child.

But the teenager said he was not prepared for what happened on Friday, when he was briefly ejected by police officers

Once again, government employees suppressing free speech.

Oh, almost forgot -- only the Second Amendment matters.

How is this not the onion?

Wow, NYT article published Oct. 14th, but this was all over the news back when it happened, first in June when he got the question asked, and again in July when they bounced him from the events.

Soooo... "Behind the times?" :)

Are you in high school?

Yes, and?

Go kid go. I really hope that he doesn't see this kind of thing as a setback.

Oh these young GOP idealists are in for a rude lesson.

Then again, the Log Cabin Republicans, LGBT for Trump, and similarly ludicrous groups are still attracting members, so…

I'm glad to see a young person taking these pieces of shit on.

I'm 62 and I've never voted for one of these RepubliKKKlan motherfuckers in my life.

It's not hard to see why young people could be disaffected. Wages have been low and housing costs are through the roof.

It's great to see a young guy taking them on And the repuplicnlown reaction: clutch pearls in terror.

The video in the article only shows the question, wasn't there one floating around of him getting kicked out? I looked but couldn't find it.

“Are you in high school? said Mr. DeSantis

Can he not answer a high school student's question?

Also, centrists: I've seen you use this exact phrase when talking to people who disagree with you from your left. DeSantis acts like you do.

If you are scared of being questioned by those with differing political beliefs you aren't cut out to be the leader of a country.

If you are scared of being questioned by a 15 year old, you aren't even fit to be leader of a high school.

Yup.. new Hampshire is full of trashy 3 percenters and criminals.

Our cops are jokes that don't help people in need.

We have 3%ers working in our government positions.

It's all criminal gang shit.

NH is tries to look good but it's really a shit hole of people kept quiet for corruption. Never underestimate naive regular citizens that will bend for criminals.

is there a mirror to skip the paywall?
