Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis is refusing to condemn Elon Musk ‘s post endorsing an antisemitic conspiracy theory, maintaining Sunday that he wasn’t familiar with the post despite it prompting major companies to pull advertising from the billionaire’s X social media platform.
“I did not see the comment,” DeSantis, the governor of Florida, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And so, I know that Elon has had a target on his back ever since he purchased Twitter because I think he’s taking it in a direction that a lot of people who are used to controlling the narrative don’t like.”
Musk has sparked outcry with a recent tweet responding to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and for professing a general indifference to antisemitism. “You have said the actual truth,” Musk tweeted in a reply Wednesday.
He doesn’t think endorsing a nazi post will be particularly popular, but he can’t afford to alienate his base of nazis, so he pretends he has never heard of it forever until people stop asking. Classic republicans.
As close MM. jamming fingers in his ears and screaming lalalalalalalala over the question.
If Rhonda and the rest of the GOP weren’t so dangerous, they’d be funny to watch.
