Ron DeSantis' office announces 'boycott' of NBC after Andrea Mitchell's criticism

[TheBlackAdder]

.

A spokesman for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has announced that the governor will be "boycotting" NBC and MSNBC, over remarks that Andrea Mitchell made about his education policy during an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, according to The Daily Beast.

"'This will be the standard response from our office until @mitchellreports apologizes and your track record improves,' DeSantis' Press Secretary Bryan Griffin tweeted Wednesday, urging others to pass his message along," reported Matt Young. However, Young noted, this is unlikely to mean much in practice because "DeSantis has never been a regular on the NBC circuit."

DeSantis' point of contention is a moment in the speech in which Mitchell asked Harris, “What does Governor Ron DeSantis not know about black history and the black experience when he says that slavery and the aftermath of slavery should not be taught to Florida schoolchildren?”

If past Trump threats play out, the networks will always cave. DeSantis knows this.

23. LOL

OMG times a Zillion..........

25. Jesus! He's melting already!

2. Criticize us and we'll cut off access

These thinned skinned fascists really have some gall. They expect to be able to do atrocious things and not be called out for it.

[rubbersole]

6. You're not in Florida anymore, Dorothy.

[Docreed2003]

8. Exactly

The thing is, this "boycott" crap is a bunch of hot air meant to throw red meat to their masses. It's performance art and I'd hope the national media would call it out as such

[calimary]

18. Oh yeah? To the company and its PR advisors: NEWS FLASH!!!

You’re not gonna talk to us? Okay then! WE’LL take those microphones and cameras, and we’ll step into the spotlight AND STAY THERE. You company people can sit on the sidelines and pout all you want. WE’LL be running the spin machine! And we’ll make good use of the center stage that you’ve chosen to step away from.

And we won’t mind dominating the discourse and getting all the media attention (always remembering, at the end, to mention that YOU refused to talk to us or make yourselves available to answer our questions!).

It’s easy to turn that public company snub to the people who’ve been adversely affected by that company’s negligence and penny-wise/pound-foolish “business practices.”

There are ways to go on offense! And the David in this case is in a WAY BETTER position to crush the corporate Goliath.

4. Might be a preemptive strike so he doesn't have to appear.

His ignorance might be on display-can't have that.

7. They are just gonna play this fascist wannabe

to the hilt.

Makes me question evolution..

Get it...? 😄

9. Mrs Greenspan Will Apologize

I predict tomorrow morning.

[BaronChocula]

15. In one way or another

She will mitigate her "intemperance" (as Tom Brokaw called his critical reporting of Ronald Reagan in hindsight) with more favorable reporting. She is dogged as a reporter yet slavish in appeasing the Old White Order.

26. Mitchell's in the tank for:

ratings über alles

[applegrove]

10. He used to go on dates with women. He'd say he liked "Thigh" food.

And if she corrected him and said it's "Thai" food, he would not date her. Something tells me he's going to have a problem with females in the press and in Washington.

[GGoss]

11. He Will Not Be Missed

[PufPuf23]

12. DeSantis has more potential as a Hitler than Trump.

Scary and deliberate guy going national with almost 2 years until the 2024 POTUS election.

13. Oh for dawg's sake

Pass Meatball a kleenex. What a chud.

[tornado34jh]

14. I can't find the part where it was asked, but boy did it make the RW nutjobs mad

Comes to show how weak they are. I just looked this up, and wow, people hated that Andrea Mitchell asked Kamala Harris about criticizing their king DeSantis on his actions.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. I'm going to like Andrea Mitchell for now.

I think we are onto something. We can show De Santis as a mean-spirited, small minded vicious man if everyone pisses him off. He's going to turn into a laughing stock with his tendency to lash out at anyone who disagrees with him.

Really, is this guy going to have any allies by 2024?

[lindysalsagal]

32. He really hates women who criticize him. They all do.

[bahboo]

17. this shit won't play well on the national stage....

comes across as a petulant little fuck....

[calimary]

22. Well? He IS a petulant little fuck.

How can he be expected to behave any other way?

[BlueSpot]

19. If I were NBC:

"OK. Have a nice primary without us."

[calimary]

24. YES!!!

This isn’t Wiffle Ball Day at KiddieLand.

This is down-‘n’-dirty politics. And our Dems need to play hardball. And we’ll be all the more successful at it because the bad guys aren’t expecting it. They’re conditioned over time to expect Democrats to be pushovers. So that’s exactly how we should NOT behave!!!

[ShazzieB]

28. I KNOW, RIGHT?

You want to boycott someone, DeSatan? Go right ahead!

You know who will care? NOBODY.

[lindysalsagal]

33. Oh- THAT is a keeper!

[mountain grammy]

20. Good. One less place for him

To spout his vicious lies.

[Warpy]

21. Thin skinned little Mussolini, aint he?

He's even worse than TFG, who would have whipped out his unsecured phone and called her a bunch of rude names on Twitter.

[King_Klonopin]

27. I thought republicans detested "cancel culture" ?

Oh, I forgot it's OK if they do it.

[live love laugh]

29. Doubt much of an impact. Fuck that fascist.

30. DeathSantis is lightweight

31. Good. Less exposure for you, fucko.

The fewer places where you can spew your hate and lies, the better. Thanks!
