'He's our little snowflake': DeSantis given 'participation trophy' by Iowa heckler

Once seen as the candidate who could finally loosen Donald Trump’s GOP hold, wooden campaigning and staffing woes have blighted his chances

As Ron DeSantis braved Iowa’s icy roads and temperatures well below zero to meet supporters in a small community room, he faced an awkward encounter.

A comedian carrying a gold trophy interrupted to walk up and thank the Republican presidential candidate for his “participation” in the 2024 race.

  I wonder what happened to the guy who threw his shoes at Dubya...
  
  That is great! You need to always tell that story.
  
  You should be proud. That was one of the best pieings of all time
  
  Contrapoints has a great video featuring her heavily. I'd like the video but people should just search Contrapoints and watch whatever they find because it's all good.
He’s doing the move I used to do when my mom would introduce me to her friends, nudge her to start talking for me and look at the ground.
