SARASOTA, Fla. (FLV) – A reporter asked Gov. Ron DeSantis whether he believes that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden due to “fraud.”

The reporter noted comments from DeSantis over the weekend in Iowa where he urged Republicans reject a “culture of losing.”

“Do you acknowledge that Trump lost and there wasn’t all this fraud that he talks about?” the reporter asked DeSantis.

“Well, I look at the last however many election cycles: 2018, we lost the House […] We lost the Senate in 2020, Biden becomes president and has done a huge amount of damage,” he said. “Very unpopular in 2022, and we were supposed to have this big red wave.”

“Other than, like, Florida and Iowa, I didn’t see a red wave across this country,” DeSantis continued. “I think the party has developed a culture of losing. I think that there’s not accountability.”

He pointed to his accomplishments and electoral success in Florida in 2022, winning by nearly 20 points.

“You can sit there and talk about cable news, social media, all these other things that people are fixated on. And for me, it’s like, OK, what’s that true north?” he said. “You obviously got to win otherwise you don’t get a ticket to the dance. But once you do that, how are you going to be able to actually bring about big change to make people’s lives better?”

[right way right]

It’s a amazing to me that so many people are not so concerned about illegals that will be voting in every blue state.
They will not be denied their ‘freedoms’. (sarc)
Don’t wait for it or it happens 100%...bank on it and fight now.

[Jim Noble]

He could have pardoned them pre-emptively, Einstein.

[DiogenesLamp]

And you blame Trump instead of the &%&^%*#*$ Media liars who create this fake picture of him?

The public is being manipulated by the media liars. You will never have a candidate so perfect the media liars can't turn him into a person that a large portion of the population will hate.

They even made people hate Reagan, and you don't get any more polished or charismatic than him.

Pardon them for what? They hadn’t been convicted of anything and they hadn’t received *due process*

Biden took over 2 weeks after the arrests

Stupid to try to pin that crap on Trump but he’ll sure as crap fix it if re-elected that’s for sure

[Just mythoughts]

If you want a friend in politics, buy a dog.

So why all the whining, itching and moaning when President Trumps speaks the truth.... The majority in this nation literally are in love with deception ... wallow in it like pigs in a mud hole. Saint Desantis never address by name the godfather Joey, like he infers the name President Trump ... hiding travel records using the state legislature ... why IF President Trump pulled this kind of act he would be called Mussolini or even Hitler... I remember ... even here on FR when the 2015 announcement was made ... the cheap seats erupted ..

[NWFree]

You can’t pardon someone who hasn’t been charged convicted dumbass

[NWFree]

A lot of defenders weren’t even *located* for arrest until BIDEN took over

Dumbass

No for you

[Jim Noble]

Ford pardoned Nixon who had never been charged or convicted and his pardon was found to be in order and valid - dumbass.

[NWFree]

Pardoned from what? He was never convicted of anything

Dumbass

[NWFree]

Many defendants were arrested and charged under Biden. The fake fbi chased people down for months even using credit cards

No president could have waved a magic dumbass wand like you believe

[srmanuel]

Election fraud certainly happened in 2020, but it’s pointless to keep arguing that, win some elections first then change the laws, especially when the country is falling apart.

No change can happen without winning elections first, election fraud being a main campaign issue is a loser, 2022 showed that clearly, move on, focus on the current situation and it’s devastating everyone in the country.

[NWFree]

Pardoning defending from nothing they’ve ever been charged or convicted with would not have helped a single defendant who was in fact charged and or convicted

You have your head up your butt it’s simple legal logic

[srmanuel]

When the grammar police start coming out you know they are out of arguments and just want to reply because they have nothing.

[NWFree]

Many of the charges were still unknown. You can’t pardon someone for a future crime they may or may not commit

You’re a freakin Dingdong to believe otherwise else the rats would write themselves get if jail free cards 24-7

[lodi90]

That didn’t stop Trump from fundraising off the stolen election, Sherlock.

[NWFree]

Anybody can fundraise off of anything and they do.

What’s your point?

[NWFree]

The election was stolen.

Why shouldn’t he fundraise from that?
