Ron DeSantis Knocks Fox News For The Way It Covers Trump
HuffPost
The Florida governor took aim at the conservative network after claiming the former president "disqualified himself" for voters on abortion.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped Fox News for “never criticizing” Donald Trump just one day after an Iowa voter confronted him for his approach toward the former president.
The GOP presidential candidate, in an Iowa campaign stop on Thursday, pointed to the former president’s criticism of a six-week abortion ban in Florida and noted that Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has signed the ban into law in the Hawkeye State.
He went on to question if Trump has flip-flopped on abortion given previous remarks and claimed he “disqualified himself” for voters who believe in “the sanctity of life” before adding that people have to hold Trump accountable.
“This idea that like all these conservative radio guys and Fox News people like, they will like never criticize because they’re so concerned that someone may yell at them,” DeSantis said.
“Look, anyone running for office answers to you. You have every right to hold these people accountable and you should hold him accountable when he’s taking those positions that are not consistent with the values here in northwest Iowa.”
