msnbc host just psaki he played political shrink on Friday and asked the governor of Florida. ron desantis“Are you OK?” (Look the following video).
Psaki’s mocking concern led to a segment that completely skewered DeSantis’ bid to win the Republican presidential nomination.
“Lately, as I’ve been watching Florida Governor Ron DeSantis conduct his presidential campaign, there’s one question on my mind: Are you okay, Governor? I mean, really, are you good? said Psaki, a former White House press secretary under President Joe Biden.
“It’s okay if you don’t really want to run for president. He is completely fine,” she added.
Psaki said it was hard to come to any other conclusion because of DeSantis’ “weird” campaign.
He slammed DeSantis for spending too much on the road as a “teenage pop star,” especially on private plane rides. She also criticized him for her state’s new school curriculum, which teaches that slaves benefit from learning abilities. This caused a rebuke of Tim Scott of South Carolina, the only black Republican in the Senate, who said, “There is no silver lining to slavery.”
In another head-scratcher, Psaki noted that DeSantis floated the idea of appointing anti-vaccine Democratic nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Food and Drug Administration or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (DeSantis has tried walk that back.)
“DeSantis is floundering in the polls, burning cash, defending the merits of slavery, floating jobs for the conspiracy theorist. democrats,” she said. “It’s enough to make you wonder if this whole campaign is really a cry for help. Does he really want to do it?”
DeSantis, who is on the trail of former President Donald Trump for more than 30 points in many polls of Republican candidates, has cut about a third of his paid campaign staff.
