How close are Matt Gaetz and Governor DeSantis?
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/416940-email-insights-progress-florida-poses-questions-for-ron-desantis-about-matt-gaetz/(snip)
Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to take any questions about long-time political ally Matt Gaetz’s growing sex scandal. But liberal group Progress Florida suggests the public deserves some answers from Florida’s chief executive.
In an email blast on Friday, Progress Florida posited a dozen questions DeSantis should answer, even if he hasn’t been directly implicated in Gaetz’s alleged misdeeds. Many stem from DeSantis’ gubernatorial campaign in 2018, when Gaetz was a near-constant presence at DeSantis’ side and ultimately led his transition team. More recently, Gaetz has touted DeSantis as a presidential candidate on right-wing outlets like Fox News.
Progress Florida’s questions include some basics still unaddressed on this, day three of GaetzGate:
— Do you have a reaction to the accusations against him?
— When and how did you learn about these accusations?
— Have you spoken to him about them?
— When was the last time you spoke to him?
