Ron DeSantis, over the Jacksonville shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at this clip that\u2019s been making the rounds, showing a breaking CNN panel, hosted by Jim Acosta on Saturday, about the Jacksonville shooting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI&#39;ve been texting with DeSantis\u2019 press secretary.

DeSantis considering flying to [Jacksonville] due to this shooting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWill let you know,\u201d Redfern posted, before Rosales thanked him and seemed to end the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Rosales clearly didn\u2019t fabricate this exchange, but did leave out a rather important detail while speaking on CNN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, there is a marked difference between \u201cspecifically if the governor plans to deviate away from his campaigning for president of the United States\u201d and \u201cis Gov. DeSantis considering flying to Jax.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former, purported question is in specific regards to suspending campaigning to return to his home state. The latter, actualized question is in regards to only about DeSantis visiting Jacksonville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are two similar, but ultimately very different, versions of the same question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that either matters or it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If CNN wants to employ these aggressively deceptive tactics, have at it. Again, Rosales didn\u2019t lie, per se.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don\u2019t start complaining when the other side begins doing the exact same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t have it both ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/ijr.com\/cnn-humiliated-desantis-press-secretary-goes-public\/\">https:\/\/ijr.com\/cnn-humiliated-desantis-press-secretary-goes-public\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ijr.com\/author\/wj\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The far left and its establishment media shills are pretty darn quick to cry about \u201cmissing context\u201d anytime a viral video or clip begins to paint their ideology in negative light.
