Is that Ron DeSantis or Andrew Dice Clay? Perhaps you’ve heard: Florida’s governor has been clowned recently over claims he wears lifts in his boots to appear taller. And a few days ago, DeSantis appeared on a podcast with a Trump-supporting host who questioned him on #Bootgate: I don’t know about you, but DeSantis doesn’t strike me as someone who can take mockery in stride. I imagine he angrily flings those boots off the moment he steps in the house.
“This is no time for foot fetishes,” DeSantis said during an interview on Newsmax before immediately pivoting to campaign talking points about the border and the Israel-Hamas war. DeSantis went on to say: “I know people want to try to divert onto other issues. I know Donald Trump and a lot of his people have been focusing on things like footwear. I’ll tell you this: If Donald Trump can summon the balls to show up to the debate, I’ll wear a boot on my head. This is a time for substance.
