DeSantis routinely denies access to journalists from his publicly funded press events but gave a four minute interview in the middle of a disaster zone to a January. 6 attendee who was wearing far-right Three Percenters militia insignia.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a four-minute interview to a right-wing broadcaster wearing the insignia of the “Three Percenters” militia group and who on Jan. 6, 2021, was among the mob assaulting the Capitol as part of Donald Trump’s coup attempt.

“You have national, regime media, that they wanted to see Tampa [get struck by Hurricane Ian], because they thought that would be worse for Florida,” DeSantis said in response to a question of whether there would be any “accountability” for news outlets for how they have covered the storm.

Neither DeSantis’ governor’s office nor his campaign responded to HuffPost queries about why he would agree to an interview with someone openly wearing the domestic terror movement’s logo on his sleeve.

But Christina Pushaw, a campaign spokesperson, praised the interviewer, Brendon Leslie, in a social media post Wednesday evening. “Formerly relevant, powerful establishment lib media in Florida are jealous of him and his team. The smears won’t work,” she wrote.

1. We all know, or should, that media rule is, if it bleeds it leads.

I don't think media wanted the hurricane to hit Tampa, but it would have been a better story for them if it did. Just business.

2. sweet baby Jesus I thought this meant

Desantis was the one wearing the insignia during the interview. And it seemed plausible.

10. Bottom 3% or?

Who wants to hang out with fellow pissed off strangers to begin with?

Misery loves that much company?

These guys look at each other, speak this shit out loud, and no pause?

Maybe start with some blood work? Might find some surprises, not talking just drug test.

Some of these miscreants might have too much testosterone, I would definitely check the fellas out for that one!

These fools got stupidity mixed with rage, and that is dangerous combo.

Some of these guys have probably not had a workup in a decade if ever as an adult?

So to be fair, show them the blood work!!!
