Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was shown on film seemingly making the child-like comment about his food.
Ron DeSantis’ comfort on camera has been something of a hurdle for the Florida governor, who is running behind Donald Trump in polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Trump supporters have been quick to point out what they called DeSantis’ “robotic and awkward” manner in recordings and interview mishaps caught on camera.
So, when a video was shared seemingly showing DeSantis speaking in child talk as he settled in for a meal, social media pounced, with millions viewing the clip in a matter of days.
The Claim
A tweet by user @tinylittlehomie, posted on July 16, 2023, viewed 2.1 million times, included a two-second clip in which it appears that Ron DeSantis is passed food and replies “Mmm hungwy.”
The accompanying tweet says: “It’s awesome that a one-second video is going to tank an entire presidential campaign lol.
