Ron DeSantis

I guess we need to mention this because, EWWW GROSS!

The chatter over DeSantis’s public engagement has also surfaced past unflattering stories about his social skills—particularly, his propensity to devour food during meetings. “He would sit in meetings and eat in front of people,” a former DeSantis staffer told the Daily Beast, “always like a starving animal who has never eaten before…getting shit everywhere.”

Enshrined in DeSantis lore is an episode from four years ago: During a private plane trip from Tallahassee to Washington, DC, in March of 2019, DeSantis enjoyed a chocolate pudding dessert—by eating it with three of his fingers, according to two sources familiar with the incident.

No one from Puddin’ Cup’s office or campaign cared to comment, and I imagine mostly they are upchucking in the bathroom having to recall Ron’s dinner table manners.
