<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis">Ron DeSantis</a> (R) responded Monday to California Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s (D) debate challenge last week, saying that he&#8217;s not interested because he doesn&#8217;t know if California would even be able to keep the lights on for a debate.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if they can reliably keep the power on so you go all the way up there and have a debate and then what ends up happening if they can&#8217;t keep the lights on?&#8221; DeSantis said during an interview with host Sean Hannity. &#8220;So, you know, we&#8217;re happy with what we&#8217;re doing. You know what I do though, Sean, my actions speak louder than my words. There&#8217;s certain people that will preen and do that, I understand, we get things done in Florida.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom, who has repeatedly sought to elevate himself on the national political stage by attacking DeSantis, wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland last week in which he made the dubious claim that DeSantis — who is a lawyer — potentially engaged in “kidnapping” by having the illegal immigrants transported out of Florida.</p>
<p>Newsom claimed without evidence that the migrants were sent with “the intent” to be “humiliate[d] and dehumanize[d].” In fact, MSNBC <a href="https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1570885737540907008">reported</a> Friday afternoon that the illegal immigrants were “not angry with Ron DeSantis” and that they are “actually thanking him for having brought them to Martha’s Vineyard.”</p>
<p>DeSantis responded to the remarks during a press event Friday afternoon, saying that the over-the-top amount of hair gel that Newsom uses was “interfering with his brain function.”</p>
<p>Newsom bizarrely went and found a tweet from a month ago from <a href="https://ew.com/article/2015/12/29/dan-rather-cbs-news-firing/">disgraced</a> journalist Dan Rather in which Rather suggested that CNN’s new CEO Chris Licht host a debate between Newsom and DeSantis.</p>
<p>“Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you’re struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives,” Newsom claimed. “Since you have only one overriding need — attention — let’s take this up &amp; debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hairspray. Name the time before Election Day.”</p>
