"Controversial Moments: Ron DeSantis' Tongue, Smuggler Calls, Bathroom Wars, and Debate Mishap"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, has drawn attention for his habit of frequently licking his lips. This behavior has been mocked in a video by the Lincoln Project and has become a topic of criticism. DeSantis has previously garnered attention for various other peculiar actions, including wiping his nose and touching a supporter, denying a report about eating pudding with his fingers, responding defensively to questions about lifts in his shoes, making exaggerated facial expressions while speaking, and an awkward attempt to smile during a debate.
