California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) took a swipe at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s ® standing in the GOP presidential primary during a debate Thursday on Fox News.

“This is just a reminder…It’s a question some people are probably asking — I know Nikki Haley’s campaign is asking: When are you going to drop out and at least give Nikki Haley a shot to take down Donald Trump in this nomination,” Newsom said. “She laid you out.”

“You wish,” DeSantis shot back.

      Pointless for you and me, sure, but I’m all for a strong Democratic voice getting airtime on Fox News.

        I guess, but they’ll just brainwash their viewers into denying any good points he may have made. They have the memories of goldfish.

          Exactly.

          DeSantis: “Allegations about me wanting to increase business with China and owning a business that manufactures for Chinese military have been debunked.”

          Republican supporters: “Well that must be true then!!”

            That’s not how they do it!

            They start babbling about woke agendas and pedos while making viewers scared of brown people coming over the border to terrorize you.

      It may have been a pointless debate but I thoroughly enjoyed this burn from Newsom; "The one thing we have in common is neither of us will be our party’s nominee in 2024.

        I read a couple of articles about it and the only thing that I really found amusing was Hannity getting so frustrated that they were both ignoring him that he said, “I’m not a potted plant here!”
