"Florida GOP figures respond to leaked DeSantis debate tapes"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is visiting a technical aviation school in Brooksville amid controversy over a leaked video showing a mock debate and advisers discussing a statement Democrats viewed as racist. DeSantis faced criticism over a request to Florida voters asking them not to “monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda.” The leaked video also shows Rep. Matt Gaetz telling DeSantis he was coming in “too hot.”
