While many wonder how Donald Trump maintains top spot among Republican presidential candidates for 2024, others simply point to his opponents.

In a campaign speech in Iowa, former Republican wunderkind Ron DeSantis stumbled again. This time, the Florida GOP governor and presidential hopeful fell apart due to a heckler.

While giving a speech at the Fireside Grill on Sunday night, DeSantis was heckled loudly by a woman.

You can watch the moment here:

DeSantis was saying:

"We beat [Dr. Anthony] Fauci on COVID, we beat–we beat..."

A woman in the crowd yelled out:

"Then what happened? You have a sex offender going to school.”

In response, DeSantis said:

"Do you know what happened? What happened is we’re the number one rated state for education in the country."
"That’s what happened. We are number one ranked in the country."

From multiple sources, Florida's K-12 education doesn't even crack the top 10.

The list DeSantis referred to ranked Florida's universities—which DeSantis has been trying to defund and alter curriculum as he has K-12—number one, but ranked primary education in Florida as 14th.

DeSantis awkwardly added:

"Excuse me. I’m not finished. I’m doing my thing."

Unimpressed and undeterred, the unidentified woman continued to heckle DeSantis until he was reduced to yelling:

"No”
“Stop it”

People likened his response to that of a child and were equally unimpressed by his material.







DeSantis is trailing Donald Trump by almost 30% in state polls less than a month before the Iowa caucuses.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
