Ron DeSantis went on Fox and rattled off a list of all of Donald Trump's broken promises including draining the swamp and building the wall.

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is gearing up for his fight with former Republican President Donald Trump over the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination.

To that end, DeSantis went on the attack against Trump on his former favorite network, Fox News.


On Sunday’s MediaBuzz, Fox host Howard Kurtz pointed out former New Jersey GOP Governor Chris Christie centered his campaign on attacking Trump.

Kurtz told DeSantis:

"Chris Christie, who was on this program a couple of weeks ago, says he’s the only one who goes directly at Trump insult for insult—calling him a coward and so forth."
“And that the rest of you just dance around for fear of offending him or his supporters."

Kurtz asked:

"Does he have a point?"

DeSantis responded:

"I don’t do insults."
“So that is true. I think just getting in this insult game turns voters off."

The controversial Florida governor added:

"Substantively, we've been very frank about our differences with respect to the former President."

DeSantis then listed Trump's failures, from his perspective.

"I mean, for example, he promised to drain the swamp – it got worse. He did not drain the swamp.
"He promised to have Mexico pay for a border wall. They did like 50 miles of wall. There's massive expanses still there."
"He said he was going to eliminate the national debt. They added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years."
"And of course, in 2020, he turned the country over to Dr. Fauci, and those lockdowns and the borrowing and printing really set us on a bad course."
"I've been very, very frank at that."

Fox viewers were less than enthusiastic about DeSantis.





DeSantis—who continues to trail behind Trump in polls—stated:

"I have no interest in attacking Donald Trump or any of these other candidates personally."
"I think we’ve got to rise above that and let's focus on the issues."

Given insults and name-calling—no matter how childish—feature prominently in every statement the GOP frontrunner makes, DeSantis' strategy may not resonate with Republican voters.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
