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.)
