DeSantis Bemoans “Racket” Of “Right Wing Fake News”

Florida Politics reports:

Ron DeSantis told Iowans Thursday that conservative media is every bit as duplicitous and mendacious as the mainstream press, in the latest sign that the final days of his Iowa campaign are driving rhetorical reconsideration.

“It used to be, ‘Oh, Republicans, you know, don’t like the liberal media, the NBC, CNN, all that stuff or whatever, but that the conservative media were like the good guys, right? They’re fighting for us,’” DeSantis said in Clive.

“Well, let me tell you, it’s all a racket. OK? It’s all a racket,” DeSantis continued. “They’re trying to get clicks, they’re trying to do all this stuff. There’s as much fake news on the right as there is on the corporate press now.”

Of note and as you can see above, DeSantis made his right wing fake news complaint with notorious right wing fake news promulgator Steve Deace seated to his left.

Deace, who has implied that Sen. Lindsey Graham is transgender, appeared here last year when he called for hanging vaccine advocates and when he called for “mass arrests” at Philadelphia Pride.
