Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – used to be believed to consider a run for the Republican presidential nomination next year – issued a strange rejection of even stranger stories.
“These are serious allegations,” Piers Morgan said sarcastically during an interview with DeSantis. “But I have to give it to you, governor: Have you ever eaten chocolate pudding with three fingers?”
DeSantis denied it … kind of.
“I don’t remember ever doing that, I’m telling you,” DeSantis replied. “Maybe when I was a kid.”
“It’s interesting, there are a lot of people, when they go to you, sometimes they have really good ammunition, like you crook, you do this, you do that,” DeSantis said. “For me, they are talking about pudding. indeed? What’s the best you’ve gotten? Carry!”
Pudding is an odd detail of the story.
But despite DeSantis’ claim, that’s hardly the biggest accusation against him.
