Well, strap in folks, because we’re about to take a wild ride through the latest political showdown between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom. And let me tell you, this debate was anything but boring. During the Fox News debate, DeSantis decided to whip out a map showing all the public places where human feces have been discovered in San Francisco. Yep, you read that right. A poop map. I guess when it comes to pointing out the flaws in your opponent’s state, nothing hits quite as hard as literal crap on the streets.

DeSantis used the map to highlight what he sees as California’s “freedoms” under Newsom’s leadership: the freedom to defecate in public, pitch a tent on Sunset Boulevard, create a homeless encampment under a freeway, use drugs in an open-air market, and if you’re an illegal alien, the freedom to get taxpayer benefits.
Now, I don’t know about you, but those don’t exactly sound like the freedoms our founding fathers had in mind. But hey, maybe that’s just me.
DeSantis says that Newsom’s father-in-law is among those who fled California for Florida

Ron DeSantis GOES OFF on Gavin Newsom:
"You almost have to try to mess California up … They actually at one point ran out of U-Hauls in the state of California because so many people were leaving!" pic.twitter.com/4er7NZpFlA

Newsom, for his part, responded with a sarcastic “I love your rant on freedom,” before accusing DeSantis of criminalizing teachers, doctors, librarians, and women seeking reproductive care. He also accused DeSantis of making it harder to vote and banning books.
But DeSantis wasn’t done. He pointed out that California officials only decided to clean up some of the mess in the city when Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping recently visited. So they’re willing to clean up for a communist dictator, but not for their own people? Talk about priorities!
And if the poop map wasn’t enough, DeSantis also took Newsom to task over the exodus of residents from California. Newsom, however, refused to address the issue. I guess it’s easier to ignore the problem than to actually do something about it.

So there you have it, folks. A debate that featured a poop map, accusations of criminalizing professions, and a refusal to address the mass exodus from a state. Who needs Netflix when you have this kind of political theater?
