Debate: Newsom Comes In At Number Two After DeSantis Breaks Out The Poop Map

Ron DeSantis and Gavin Newsom squared off Thursday in the Fox News 'Red State-Blue State' debate, hosted by Sean Hannity. Who won? Well, that seems to be a matter of perception. Left-wingers and some on the GOP side who are heavily invested in the ongoing primary battle insist Newsom destroyed DeSantis, while a large number of conservative debate watchers claimed DeSantis wiped the floor with Newsom. Speaking of wiping, one funny moment occurred in the debate when DeSantis deployed a disastrous deuce drop on the unsuspecting California governor. -- Ron DeSantis: “This is a map of San Francisco. There’s a lot of plots on that. You may be asking ‘what is that plotting?’ This is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco. That is what has happened in one of the previous greatest cities this country has ever had.”

Lmao, he pulled out the poop map. The contrast between the positions of DeSantis and Newsom shows DeSantis to be a down-the-line conservative. His grasp of the issues, facts, and figures is his strong point, which is likely why many attacks against him focus on questions of loyalty, style, and physical appearance. The debate clarified that charges that DeSantis is somehow a 'RINO' amount to little more than primary-fueled rhetoric. We expected a poo-flinging contest. We didn't expect it to be quite so literal. DeSantis scored on this exchange, highlighting what Newsom's failed leadership has done to California, while also giving us a good laugh.
