But an elected official just shouldn’t be admonishing high school kids in public if you are triggered.
There is a higher standard, and a standard when addressing school age teenagers.
Desantis just doesn’t believe he needs to be held to that standard. Clearly others agree.
Exactly. He's the older adult in the room. He should have just not said anything and gotten on with his business.

That is not true at all in Florida.
I can vouch for that as I have seen the protests.
That would not fly at all.

I'm not a leftist. Stop making ridiculous assumptions that everyone who votes like you agrees with you on all points or that everyone who disagrees with you must have voted differently than you.

Your translation is meaningless.

I don’t think he’s after your vote.

As I stated before no one has to believe any of us that live in Florida and keep warning people outside of Florida that this guy might flame out during the Republican primary due to his inability to control himself.

This is not based on his job as Governor, Floridians on this thread have stated they think he has done well but, we are just pointing out his major flaw which is how he carries and conducts himself when he is in front of a camera and sees or hears something that sets him off. He always goes straight from 0 to 11 every time.

Trump and most other recent previous Presidents could make a joke, a funny comment, perhaps a one liner, DeSantis has yet to show this skill.
Yes, he was clearly having a hissy fit and lost control of himself and what came out of his mouth. The kids spoiled his photo op with their masks.

The alternative is that he intentionally used/shamed those kids to score political points.

Neither is a very appealing look in a governor.

Wild hunch, you think COVID is scary and believe masks work and the vaccines were medical marvels.

over the edge = makes a calm suggestion

Yes, life is excruciating for some people. What happens when the mail is 4 minutes late? Do people have a PSYCHOLOGICAL BREAK?

I really don't know how some people survive. I really don't.

Hang nail = IT'S CANCER!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!! CALL 9-1-1!!!!

Here's a link. It mentions that one of the kids was 14 and there are comments from the Superintendent of the school system.

14 years old. So we have the ages now.

Oh God, now we have to hear 100 stories about people being 14 in Vietnam in the Shnit battling the commies to justify why these 14 year olds should have to deal with 43 y/o having a hissy fit.

DeSantis was having a "hissy fit"?!?!?

You have got to be kidding me. What do you call what the libs have been doing since March 2020?

Good thing they don’t vote. No wonder he didn’t care.
