DeSantis shuts down disruptive protestor in South Carolina.
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis didn’t let a heckler steal the spotlight during a speech in South Carolina on Friday. The Florida governor was addressing left-wing indoctrination in public schools when a woman interrupted him shouting, “a f—ing fascist”, apparently due to his stance on “kids’ healthcare.” DeSantis countered by saying, “We’re not gonna let you impose an agenda on our kids! We’re gonna stand up for our kids!” Critics, including Disney CEO Bob Iger, have attacked DeSantis since he signed into law last year a prohibition on the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools from kindergarten to third grade. The governor has been traveling to the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina in recent days ahead of his 2024 presidential run. He aims to show off his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and public education in Florida as an alternative to both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.
