Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Blames Media For Falling Behind Ex-President donald trump in the polls for the 2024 Republican nomination.
On Monday, CNN‘s anderson-cooper tried to disarm the excuse.
DeSantis “appears almost exclusively on conservative-friendly outlets” like Fox News and polls suggest that “it’s actually a plurality of Republican voters” leaving him, a confused Cooper said.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), now a CNN commentator, said DeSantis was taking a page from Trump’s playbook.
“Never take blame for anything,” he said, calling the media “an easy target” and arguing that “it was really DeSantis’ fault” with his decision to “try to be a younger version of Trump” while Trump was still apply.
“Look, it’s kind of sad,” CNN commentator Van Jones said later in the discussion in a video shared online by mediaite.
The establishment media were “jumping up and down” with “breathless” coverage before DeSantis launched his campaign on the possibility that he would beat Trump for the nomination.
“I thought it was a little weird since I thought DeSantis was probably worse than Trump,” Jones continued. “But. I mean, he got the biggest buildup, the biggest support. It was crazy. He was ‘DeSantismania’ for months and months.”
DeSantis’ campaign launch failed, however, and he refuses to change his own “dumb” strategy, Jones said.
