Eschewing transparency, DeSantis bars media from Texas speech

Presumptive Republican presidential candidate and nominal Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will abandon the state he’s set on destroying to wander to another GOP hellscape, and although he’s loudly demanded complete transparency from everyone from the President to Twitter to education companies, DeSantis doesn’t feel the need to practice what he preaches.  In typical hypocritical fashion, DeSantis’s speech to the Dallas County Republican Party for Saturday’s Reagan Day Dinner will not be open to the public or the media, according to the Dallas Morning News.

It’s at these closed-door events that Republicans tend to be their most corrupt and vile, and quite obviously.  During one such dinner in 2016 in Washington, DC, current House Speaker pro tem Kevin McCarthy declared, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.”  At a 2013 fundraiser, Mitt Romney was recorded extolling the false claim that “”dependent on the government” and “believe they are victims.”  (Romney later claimed innocence by asserting, “What I said is not what I believe,” in an early version of the GOP’s “truth is not truth” mantra.

At a 2016 fundraiser, Democrat Hillary Clinton was recorded saying (accurately as history proved), “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorable, right?”  Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that.  And he has lifted them up.”  Clinton added that the other half “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well.”
