One day after the Republican presidential debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) came to the defense of the daughter of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. After Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Haley for criticizing him for joining TikTok even though her daughter once had an account with the Chinese social media giant, the Florida governor told Fox News that Ramaswamy's attack was not "an appropriate thing to do."

"I think the kids are out of bounds," said DeSantis, who is neck and neck with Haley for second place in the primary after the dominant front-runner, former President Donald Trump.

Leave it to NBC News to find the real story, namely that DeSantis is somehow hypocritical because he criticizes Hunter Biden.

If you cannot see the difference between a presidential candidate attacking an apolitical pediatric nurse for formerly using an app that her mother considers a national security concern and attacking a middle-aged lobbyist who has spent decades cashing in on his father's political ascent and security clearances, you need help. From a professional.
