          A presidential candidate should take on a large corporation that hires locally like Disney said no Republican ever and DeSantis is a fool for doing so. The deplorable state of Florida's public school education also revealing. People like him and his ilk will take our civil liberties back 50 years. Probably where you would like it.

                Yes, there are sexual criminals in the Democratic Party.
                Where are the Republicans that are sexual criminals? Or is this like FoxNews likes to report? Only giving 1 side to a story.
                It's not dodge and deflect if there are sexual criminals in both parties.
