After his rivals and media outlets have alleged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wears boots that make him look taller, the Republican presidential candidate said in a recent media appearance that "this is no time for foot fetishes."
DeSantis made the remarks Thursday night in an appearance on Newsmax after host Eric Bolling pushed him to respond to the repeated allegations. The governor continued, describing a long list of "serious problems" he believes the country is facing such as "schools that are indoctrinating kids" and "terrorists coming across our own southern border."
He followed up with a challenge for his chief opponent, former President Donald Trump, who skipped the first two presidential debates that DeSantis attended.
