Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is vying for the presidency, has said he favors dismantling the IRS, the Dept. of Education, the Dept. of Energy, as well as the Department of Commerce.
After Martha MacCallum of Fox News Channel asked him if he would favor abolishing any agency, he mentioned the four federal organizations.
DeSantis, a former member of the US House of Representatives, stated that if Congress cooperated with him, he would favor abolishing those four governmental bodies.
However, he said that if the legislature refused to approve the proposal, he would use the organizations to combat “woke ideology” and “leftism,” such as by utilizing the Dept. of Education to “reverse every bit of the transgender sports stuff.”
Both options, according to DeSantis, would be a “win for conservatives.”
The Florida governor, who was just re-elected last year, is currently polling in second place, significantly behind former President Trump. DeSantis, however, is polling better than the rest of the GOP field for president even if he is falling behind Trump.
The opening Republican presidential primary debate will take place on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
DeSantis stated earlier this week during talks in Texas that he would support engagement regulations that permit the use of lethal force against drug cartel operators who breach America’s border wall. “You would react firmly if someone broke into your home with the intention of doing anything horrible.” On the other hand, he said, “Why can’t we do it at the southern border?” DeSantis further declared that he would label the cartels as transnational criminal organizations or international terrorist groups.
