Two Words Marco Rubio Doesn’t Use in His Book: Ron DeSantis
Of the tens of thousands of words filling the 212 pages in Sen. Marco Rubio’s new book, there’s two words you won’t find anywhere: Ron DeSantis.
Despite copious mentions of Donald Trump and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle—along with esoteric name-drops ranging from New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie to the late French philosopher Jacques Derrida—DeSantis, the governor of Rubio’s home state, fails to earn a single mention.
Even when topics right in the DeSantis wheelhouse appear, such as Disney or critical race theory—Rubio mentions the sociological and legal concept no fewer than eight times—the Florida governor is nowhere to be found in Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America's Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity.
