DeSantis' political team lashes out at 'dishonest' pro-Trump PAC ad that claims DeSantis tried to raise taxes
Fox News
The political team for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pushing back against a new pro-Trump super PAC ad, insisting it's "dishonest" because it leaves out key details.
"In Congress, Ron DeSantis backed a national sales tax, a 23% tax hike on almost everything you buy … from the gas station to the grocery store," the narrator said in the ad titled "Old DeSantis."

While true DeSantis supported a bill that proposed introducing a 23% federal sales tax, key details were omitted from the ad. In accordance with the bill's proposed federal sales tax, all other federal taxes, including the income tax, would have been eliminated if the bill had passed.
