DeSantis may have topped the Jeb Bush "please clap" incident

I've been had! Well done whoever made that.

Edited to add: I have a slightly more optimistic outlook on this type of thing. Yes I was fooled. I'm a human being and I can get caught out from time to time.

I well remember Jeb Bush's "please clap" cringefest and DeSantis is similarly dorky, unlikeable, and bad at retail politics, so I was primed to believe it. I watched the video once, tossed off a quick response, then logged off and went for dinner. I should have watched it again, or waited to respond.

The good news though is that when I got back I was promptly alerted to the fact that the video was fake, because of course DUers were all over that almost immediately. So, my bad, but props to DU for instant fact-checking and debunking.
