Governor DeSantis was on Fox News today and was essentially asked why he doesn’t insult Trump and he’s scared to do so.

The question was framed as coming from Chris Christie, who claims DeSantis and others don’t insult Trump because they are afraid of offending the former president.

Watch below:

I love how DeSantis answers the question. He said he doesn’t get personal and insult other candidates because he believes it will turn voters off. Rather, he wants to stay substantive. And then he lays into Trump on his failed promises, saying Trump promised to drain the swamp. “It got worse, he did not drain the swamp.”

DeSantis then hit Trump for saying Mexico would pay for a border wall and he only built like 50 miles of wall. He also criticized Trump for promising to eliminate the national debt when in reality he added almost 8 trillion to the debt in four years. Lastly, he hammered Trump for turning the country over to Dr. Fauci.

DeSantis ended by saying we have to rise above attacking other candidates personally and focus on the issues.
