He’s made no secret of that,” Psaki said, later adding that “we can all still enjoy the Twitter memes that mock the next inevitable awkward thing DeSantis does on the campaign trail. But just don’t let that distract from what he’s actually saying because that is far more consequential.”

The Florida governor and 2024 presidential hopeful has become an often-ridiculed target among his opponents and critics. Everything from DeSantis’ white boots to his fake laugh has served as fodder for online mockery. Former president Donald Trump’s super PAC even made an attack ad that centered around the revelation DeSantis eats pudding with his fingers.
