 Okay POV your Ron DeSantis getting ready to go out, you know, and I'm not judging you but I'm just saying Every everybody else is gonna You just saw some of the more viral memes regarding Ron DeSantis is alleged affinity for high heels and a fun fact That first video from the girl that we saw actually is not a liberal She's a writer for the Babylon be which is a conservative satire website So everyone and I mean everyone is poking fun at Ron DeSantis specifically because he's Possibly probably wearing heels or height boosters or something But you just saw the tip of the iceberg because people have pointed out that his heel lifts are so high It looks like he's being photographed mid rapture and even Donald Trump has gotten in on the fun sharing some of the memes Accusing DeSantis of wearing hidden heels But I mean this is a little bit of a sore spot for DeSantis's team because in response to that first video We watched DeSantis's rapid response director Christina Pushall responded saying quote POV You have nothing substantive to criticize DeSantis on as another plain little Americans arrives home from Israel Okay Now Ashley St. Clair the girl who posted the first viral video Responded saying really disheartening to see this type of reaction to a joke I've made many jokes about Trump and his campaign staff has never attacked me now Pushall replied to that Telling her to touch some grass. So they're very clearly but her now I don't know if DeSantis's rapid response director has ever heard of the Streisand effect But if she didn't know she should know now because Ashley St. Clair responded with a follow-up apology video That went even more viral than the first one So This is my first apology video. I made a joke about Ron DeSantis There's a very popular meme going around that DeSantis wears heels very high heels And I made a joke I put on my stilettos and I said POV Ron DeSantis getting ready to go out. I thought it was funny. Many people thought it was funny I make jokes about everyone Trump DeSantis a vague But the DeSantis team didn't think it was funny and that's what's most important. So I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart and they said it wasn't a very substantive criticism and They also notified me that DeSantis doesn't wear stilettos. He wears cowboy boots So not only would I like to apologize, but I would like to be accurate. I would like to Correct the record and do this again. So Take two POV your Ron DeSantis getting ready to go out Now as you can see she's putting on very flamboyant cowboy boots while playing these boots are made for walking Which is why I can't play the audio for you since it's copyrighted But I mean this entire meme has become so big that even Politico published an article consulting with shoe experts about DeSantis's boots and spoiler alert They think he's wearing height boosters as well and they have a very in-depth analysis About whether or not he's wearing height boosters, which is it's just a while to me now the reason why I'm talking about this is because DeSantis was finally asked about this during an appearance on the conservative PVD podcast and As you're gonna see DeSantis was very very uncomfortable and feigned ignorance over jokes being made about him He claims that he hasn't seen these memes yet, but um, he's lying But let's watch are you the type of person like I have people around me that love to say hey fat You got something between your teeth. These are the annoying people in your life, right? Hey, Pat pull your zipper up. You know hey Pat do this. Hey pull one of your socks is lower than the other one I'm sure your marketing team points out how they're trying to troll you in the marketplace. Okay. I'm sure they're doing that Can you bring this one clip? I know you were on What do you call it on? What was it Bill Maher and Bill Maher talked about the boots? I've seen you walk with these boots go ahead and play this clip this on tic-tac when viral It doesn't have a million views. It doesn't have you know 10 million views This thing's got 1.2 million likes and and some people are wondering How do they I don't even I haven't seen that what there's they've not shown this to you Okay, what they're trying to say with this is that in your boots you have heels No, no, those are just standard off the rack Lucchese How tall are you governor hot 11 511? Okay Why don't you wear tennis shoes and dress shoes? I do wear tennis shoes when I work out Yeah, you do okay. I got a gift for you. I'd love for you to wear Okay, I shop at Ferragamo. Okay, I Don't accept gifts. I can't accept it. I'm sorry I'm gonna put it here and Ferragamo can get a nice sponsorship and then if you wear it you fared I know you know, but here's the thing. I mean, I think we just how politics works is You know yogi bearer when he was In the Yankees they said, you know yogi. He doesn't look like a Yankee, you know, he doesn't do this Yeah, and yogi's basically like, okay, you know, if you if you say I'm ugly, that's fine But you know, you don't hit a baseball with your face and so what we're doing is, you know Really, I think doing the issues the leadership people that are poking at you for different things. That's fine But ultimately that is not I think it's a sign of strength I think if people had if they could say he was a horrible governor He was this he was that then they would definitely do it But they don't do that because I don't think that they have much there We've been an exemplary leader. We've we've gotten things done. We would be somebody that would be obviously a really strong candidate That's part of the reason the media attacks me and everything like that He is the literal embodiment of the crying Wojak mean with the smile mask Actually, I'm glad they're attacking my shoes because that means they don't have anything else to attack me on Okay, sure listen He can pretend as if his feelings aren't hurt by this and pretend as if there aren't substantive reasons to criticize him But the fact is that there are he is a fascist book banner a racist history revisionist He's a fake vaccine skeptic who handed out COVID vaccines to his donors first. He's a warmonger a corporate shill He's antagonistic towards the First Amendment nearly a million Floridians lost health care because of him So there are many substantive reasons to criticize dissent is but unfortunately for him There's also a lot of unsubstantive reasons to attack him ranging from his putting fingers to his robotic attempts at smiling To his heels and he's an easy target all around but he can keep coping as he continues to embarrass himself And I am assuming that the embarrassments will continue so long as he continues this Failing presidential campaign, which is very clearly going nowhere. I mean even Mike Pence had the dignity to drop out So what's the Santas is excuse? I would imagine ego But unfortunately for him the embarrassment did not stop there because shortly after that moment the Santas got offended again When the host asked him about his failing book. I'm a big fan of yours Okay, I'm not a fan of your marketing team I'm just not and I'm I can say that comfortably you can say I have one the best marketing teams No problem because I think your book was a miss. I think there's a lot of opportunity that's been out that I was a miss I was on a flight one time with Bill O'Reilly. Why was it a miss? I think your book Could have done very well. And I was the number one book in the country for two weeks Yes, not a long time though You're you're a guy that should be the leading candidate for president You were the you were the best governor during COVID hands down. Nobody did it better than you no one You had a fight you stood up to these bullies To all these a-holes that were trying to manipulate the voters like me and we were walking around as if we're weird And you stood up for those people and I loved it. I respected it I went around defending you constantly and I'm sitting there saying why are we not telling this story? Why are we not going out there selling millions of copies of this book on what you did during COVID? So that to me was a was a missed opportunity by the way your marketing team can hate me I've taken I don't know most my opinion on the book. I don't I didn't really have a marketing team I mean, you know, you're doing it and people sell it or they don't sell it. I go on I go on media You didn't go around talking to a lot of people about your book. That was a great book. We tried I mean, yeah, but you know, don't forget. I was also in the midst of the legislative session I had a lot on my plate and we were doing a lot of stuff I just love how DeSantis was perpetually offended even as the host went out of his way to continue to blow smoke up his ass He does he can't handle criticism very well because like Trump I think he's a narcissist and a megalomaniac But the difference between him and Trump is that he doesn't have a cult to reinforce these feelings of superiority so instead he kind of just flails and makes more of a fool of himself But I mean, that's really all I've got with regard to this video I thought that the clip would provide us all with some much-needed levity during these really dark times and it did make me laugh So I hope that you'll find some enjoyment out of it as well at the expense of Ronda Santos Ideology
