Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was one of the first speakers at CPAC on Thursday in Orlando, Florida, where he said he is prepared to be attacked and also went on the offensive against Democrats. More:
Republican presidential candidate walked to the podium tossing hats into the crowd before he began his speech by welcoming the crowd to the"freest state" in the U.S.
He also claimed that Biden has had the"worst first year of any president since the 1800s," without providing a specific metric like polling numbers or other data to substantiate the statement. He launched another attack against social media and the alleged"censorship" of conservative voices that have opinions that differ from the"oligarchs" who run social media companies.
The speech continued with criticisms of the media and academic community, including support of the Biden"regime" via a"blizzard of lies." He ended his speech by telling audience members they need to have the"courage" to"fight back."
