5:08Now PlayingAnother viral video of Ron DeSantis being a complete jackass emerged late last week, when the Florida governor was interrupted during a rally in South Carolina by an audience member calling him a fascist. That makes the second time in less than a week that the governor has gone viral for not being able to handle mild criticism from anyone, and his anger in the clip shows that he doesn't have the temperament to hold office. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

On Friday, another viral video of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sparring with a heckler at a rally in South Carolina, hit the internet. Millions of views. The right, loved it. The left got off. But in case you haven't seen it, here is Ron DeSantis getting furious at a heckler who stood up during his speech and called him a fascist. Take a look.
Fortunately there's bad stuff that's getting into the schools. There's pornography that's getting into the schools, so the parents have had to blow the whistle in Florida. Your kids, you're fashionist. They've had to. They've had to. Yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you. Um, we, we, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not gonna let you impose an agenda on our kids. We're gonna stand up for our kids. We're gonna make sure to do it right. That's what we're gonna do. Yeah. Those people like that in Florida are the people we beat every single day on policy. We do not let 'em win. We win all these battles. We're not letting them indoctrinate our kids, not on our watch.
Now, this was not the first viral video that Ron DeSantis was in this past week. Earlier in the week, he had been in a video snapping at a reporter who asked him simply, why aren't you taking questions from the crowd like every other presidential candidate that comes to these events? Does DeSantis got mad? Snapped at the reporter, uh, said, are you blind? And that video, of course, went viral. Ron DeSantis continues to go viral in all of these videos for all the wrong reasons. He goes viral because he doesn't know how to interact with other human beings. He doesn't know how to handle mild questions or criticism. He loses his crap. And I wanna talk about that video clip that we just showed, because I think it actually shows the anger and the genuine hatred that was brewing inside of Ron DeSantis when that woman yelled out fascist, he got filled with rage.
He couldn't speak, he couldn't concentrate, he couldn't ignore it, and he had to address it. But you could tell he knew he had to ignore it. But his brain, his hatred that he had inside of him would not let him do it. Now, the reason I point that out is because I want to contrast that with Donald Trump. Now, Donald Trump, of course, is no stranger to lashing out at hecklers, even in cour encouraging, uh, security. Get him outta here. Get him outta here. But Trump always manages to do it in a way where you can tell, yes, he probably does hate the person, but he's playing it up for the crowd. There's that subtle manipulation. Again, I have no doubt Trump hates those people. Surely he does. But when DeSantis did it, he didn't do it to play it up for the crowd. He did it because he genuinely got so angry he couldn't control himself, which is exactly what I've been talking about, about Rhon DeSantis for two years now, folks, that clip proves everything I've ever said.
Everything. So why does that matter, right? That's just one random person in one random event in South Carolina. Why'd you even go to his speech if you wanted to call him a fascist to begin with? Well, here's the thing. Ron DeSantis is gonna be on a debate stage in just a couple months with other Republican lawmakers who want the same job that Ron DeSantis wants. So what's gonna happen when one of them calls out one of Ron DeSantis policies? He's not gonna be prepared. Hell, his debate coach was Matt Gaetz.
