Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushed back at some online who are focusing on his height and the boots that he wears, saying that the U.S. has serious issues it is dealing with that are more important than their “foot fetishes.”
DeSantis made the remarks during an interview with Newsmax’s Eric Bolling on Thursday night after some opponents of the Republican presidential candidate have been fixated on his boots in recent days.
“There are these gotcha people, these people who just want to sit there and they want to talk about how tall you are, whether you’re wearing boots with heel extenders inside,” Bolling said. “I mean, Governor, the southern border is a disaster, terrorists are coming across the border. We got two wars that we’re kind of funding, and they want to talk about how tall you are. Respond please.”
