A fellow Yale secret society member said Ron DeSantis rolled his eyes when she talked about her upbringing as a Hispanic girl in Texas: 'It was like I wasn't worth listening to

Every week, DeSantis and the members of his diverse society class met for dinner at a townhouse near campus in New Haven, Connecticut, where they would each speak at-length about their backgrounds — in a ritual that could take several hours.

DeSantis leaned heavily on his life story as the product of a working-class family and baseball player who worked his way to one of the most elite universities in the country. But when other members spoke about their own biographies in the living room, DeSantis — now the governor of Florida and a 2024 Republican presidential contender — paid little attention to them, according to a New York Times report.

Cristina Sosa Noriega, a fellow member of St. Elmo, told The Times that DeSantis rolled his eyes when she spoke of her background as a Hispanic girl who was raised in San Antonio, Texas. Two additional members of the secret society also recounted DeSantis' expression at the time, according to The Times.

"He seemed bored and disinterested," Sosa Noriega told the newspaper. "It was like I wasn't worth listening to. I had the feeling that he assumed that I didn't deserve to be there."

In response to The Times, a DeSantis spokesman denied that the incident occurred and added that it was "frankly absurd" that any individual would recall "such a detail from decades ago." (DeSantis attended Yale from 1997 to 2001.)

Something, or soneone retriggers it;

3. I rarely remember when I was dick to someone but I always remember when someone was a dick to me

[ZonkerHarris]

4. now we can discount any stories Ronny tells about the long ago because how could he remember?

frankly absurd that he would remember anything

[Deuxcents]

5. People remember humiliation

Some work hard to overcome it while others who humiliate think they’re special. She remembers and so do two others who were there. Instead of becoming a better person, he has his campaign deny it for him. Too many accounts of his cruelty lately

6. I know that a poor listener is

never smart. Seen it over and over again. They gather no info as they travel through life.

7. What is it with secret societies?

Whether it's Skull and Bones or whatever this group is, what is it about secret societies that students find so irresistible? It's not enough that you got into Yale?

8. What's that quote about. . .

. . . not necessarily remembering everything a person said or did, but never forgetting how they made you feel?
