A reporter and 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) shared a tense exchange during the Florida governor’s first campaign event in New Hampshire on Thursday after the reporter asked him why he did not take questions from voters during the event.

“Why not take any questions from voters, though?” the reporter, identified as the Associated Press’s Steve Peoples, asked as DeSantis mingled with the crowd, posing for pictures with the event’s attendees.

“Governor, how come you’re not taking questions from voters?” the reporter asked again, prompting a response from DeSantis, who explained that he was now very clearly talking to voters who were approaching him.

Reporters are retarded

[SoConPubbie]

Boy DeSantis is testy.

[Dilbert San Diego]

is there an untold story? For example, was he just giving a speech somewhere, at an event not set up for Q and A from the public?

[ClearCase_guy]

DeSantis also refused to say whether he had stopped beating his wife. [/s]

[Jamestown1630]

Yes, he is.

I’m sorry, but every now and then a really ‘snide’ side of DeSantis comes out, and it bothers me more than any of Trump’s ‘mean tweets’ ever did.

If Trump dismissed an idiot reporter, you would be praising him. And so would I.

Hardly. Trump would have insulted his mother.

While some have pointed out the irony of the question, given the fact that the reporter appeared to interrupt DeSantis’s conversation with voters to ask why he was not speaking to voters, the original question appeared to stem from the report that DeSantis did not take audience questions during the speaking portion of the event.

The reporter had a narrative not a question.

[alstewartfan]

I would not respect a candidate who suffered fool stenographers for the Deep State gladly.

[truthkeeper]

In the video I saw on Twitter he was in the middle of taking pictures with supporters and the reporter was right in his face.

[livius]

LOL! It wasn’t set up as a Q&A but De Santis pointed out he was talking to the voters at that time (afterwards), which obviously the reporter would have seen and known. DeSantis is very used to having “gotcha” moments from leftist reporters and he’s very firm with them.

That’s what has enabled him to do all that he has done here in Florida, even against enormous leftwing and RINO opposition.

[LeoTDB69]

He should be in this case. The reporter is pissed cuz DeSantis is talking to people and not him.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Boy DeSantis is testy.

Aren't you the same spammer who constantly posts "we need a fighter, support Trump" posts day in and day out?

[GOPJ]

I doubt Associated Press’s Steve People has EVER asked the same thing of President Sniffer.

[dadfly]

lol.

[vespa300]

>>>Boy DeSantis is testy.>>>

Yeah, and your boy Trump is Mr. Cool, calm and collected. Like with Jim Acosta.

You people are bizarre.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

They’re not retarded, they’re evil.

[vespa300]

Yep, that’s him. Mr. Spam.

[SoConPubbie]

Aren't you the same spammer who constantly posts "we need a fighter, support Trump" posts day in and day out?

Yes I am, but there is a difference between being a fighter and just being cranky.

If he is going to be this cranky now, wait until he gets the full Trump Treatment, he will be acting like a crotchety old-timer.

[Tell It Right]

If Trump dismissed an idiot reporter, you would be praising him. And so would I.

Agreed. I'm leaning Trump and I'll say that it's nice to see DeSantis argue back with some snark at the people who will routinely refer to him as Nazi if he wins the nomination.
