His family moved to Orlando from ... where? Italy? Is DeSantis a natural born citizen ?

He was born in Jacksonville, Florida so he’s a NBC.

Not that it matters one whit, both his parents were also born in the United States.

His great grandparents were born in Italy.

You obviously skipped #13:

No, you obviously skipped the closing line of the story where Geller calls DeSantis a SEAL.

If you were a bit smarter you'd know it makes a difference.

“He wasn’t a SEAL, just the attorney for them.”

Oh yeah, that disqualifies him.

“That makes him part of the Swamp. There is no escaping this. He is part of the Swamp.”

Tell us, the uninformed, how all the things he has done in Florida shows what a swamp rat he is. What rock have you been living under?

No one said that or insinuated it. Just stop with the histrionics.

Nope. DeSantis needs to stay Governor of Florida until his term is up. Otherwise they’ll say he quit in midstream. Also we love him here in Florida and we do not want to lose him here.

See 13 - then stack this up against Biden, Harris or Buttigieg

You really have a terrible reading comprehension problem. No one said that he doesn’t have a great resume, but if someone is going to try to claim he is a SEAL when he isn’t it is best to stop that rumor before it hurts him later. Now, climb off your high horse and read my statements again, slowly, and without the adrenaline driven hysterics.

No where in the article did it say he was a Seal... So what are you talking about? If YOU know people calling him a Seal (and it's NOT in this article) then how would I know that?

He was assigned to SEAL team one, he is not a Navy SEAL. I like him, but I take stolen valor seriously.
