I think the weird thing for me with DeSantis is he does stuff conservatives want and then denies them. You're doing a debate on Fox News man. You're running in a primary against Trump where your single best attack is that you actually do the stuff Trump says he'll do. Why fucking back down?

So you don't buy the plausible deniability of not telling schools and libraries to ban books while signing into law ambiguous morality legislation that threatens potential financial and legal consequences if others don't ban books?
