A new hit against potential 2024 presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., revealed Thursday was the unusual claim that the governor once ate chocolate pudding with three fingers.
The article by The Daily Beast on DeSantis’ “aloof” personality was said to have been sourced from the accounts of anonymous former staffers and GOP operatives. Reporters Jake Lahut and Zachary Petrizzo said that DeSantis “struggles with basic social skills,” displaying “an aversion to small talk” and “general pleasantries” which “make him difficult” during unplanned interactions.
Among several claims about his personal habits, one assertion the article focused on was DeSantis’ table manners.
“The chatter over DeSantis’ public engagement has also surfaced past unflattering stories about his social skills—particularly, his propensity to devour food during meetings,” the reporters wrote.
