DeSantis greeted by ‘pudding fingers’ chant in Iowa
The protest effectively cut short the Florida governor’s first campaign stop of the day.
Iowa — It was an inauspicious start for Ron DeSantis in Iowa on Friday.
Chanting “Ron DeFascist” and “pudding fingers” on a megaphone while ringing cowbells, two protesters effectively cut short the Florida governor’s first campaign stop of the day at a large roadside rock painted for war veterans.
It was the second notable disruption of a Republican presidential candidate by the left in Iowa this week, after a Democrat on Thursday asked Mike Pence at the Iowa State Fair, “Why did you commit treason on Jan. 6?”
At the DeSantis event, Kara Ryan of Des Moines said she and her aunt, Heather Ryan, were there on behalf of a political action committee called “Bitches Get Stuff Done,” that supports abortion rights.
A man there to support DeSantis, wearing a hat given out by his aligned super PAC, Never Back Down, at one point tried to stop the noise by attempting unsuccessfully to knock the megaphone out of Heather Ryan’s hands.
DeSantis, joined by his wife Casey, still tried to give remarks.
“People like that,” he said, referring to the two protesters drowning him out, “are what’s holding this country back.”
The handful of veterans gathered erupted in applause. But the event was hurried, DeSantis’ meeting with the veterans brief.
DeSantis is set to appear at events in several other Iowa towns Friday as part of his 99-county tour, before attending the Iowa state fair on Saturday.

I don’t get it, why pudding?
I mean, he ate pudding with his fingers
But which 3? Index, middle, ring is the obvious... But what if it's middle, ring, pinky? Could the thumb be involved? What if it's index, ring, pinky... America demands answers!
If it was his index, middle, and pinky that would be shocking.
Could the thumb be involved still?
Real Americans knock that shit back!
Out of all the things to call this guy on. Watevr, hope it works.
It's not the left who is calling him out on it, it's his fellow conservatives. We're mostly enjoying Trump's one good nickname ever- Meatball Ron.
The chatter over DeSantis’ public engagement has also surfaced past unflattering stories about his social skills—particularly, his propensity to devour food during meetings.
"He would sit in meetings and eat in front of people,” a former DeSantis staffer told The Daily Beast, “always like a starving animal who has never eaten before… getting shit everywhere.”
Enshrined in DeSantis lore is an episode from four years ago: During a private plane trip from Tallahassee to Washington, D.C., in March of 2019, DeSantis enjoyed a chocolate pudding dessert—by eating it with three of his fingers, according to two sources familiar with the incident.
Basically, DeSantis was allegedly observed eating chocolate pudding with three bare fingers.
How is Trump struggling to find a good insult against DeSantis when this is right there for the taking?
RINO Ron is right freaking there for the taking.
Trump’s ability is slipping in his one major skill.
It’s almost like his claims that Biden is senile are all just projections.

from slate: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/03/ron-desantis-allegedly-chocolate-pudding-with-three-fingers.htmlI'm not reading all that. Is it really a whole ass thing and not something simple like "he scooped pudding into his dumb face with his sausage fingers instead of using a spoon"
i mean, that's pretty much it. don't think there was even photos. just something an assistant said happened, pretty sure.
just posted all those for background. for the motivated. to answer the question.But yeah, it's GOP politics... you're not going to get substance. it's high school equivalent bitching and moaning, as always.
I don't understand it, but I find it hilarious nonetheless.
