In an easily missed moment during Wednesday night’s chaotic GOP presidential primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign a federal 15-week abortion ban.

Wednesday’s comment marked the first time since the launch of his presidential campaign that he said he would sign a national abortion ban.

The Daily Signal was the first to report and confirmed the governor’s remarks.

The moment occurred during an exchange with Sen. Tim Scott, where he asked the governor if he would support a 15-week abortion ban. DeSantis said yes.

The moment was widely missed due to the moderators talking over the pair while the exchange was happening, trying to regain control of the debate.

    His governorship should’ve been aborted last year, before the second term. But the morons wanted More Ron.

    Republicans - we think states should be allowed to make their own decisions

    Also Republicans - we believe this opinion should be forced on all states

    Republicans hate women. They believe them to be second class citizens. Yet, I’ve seen too many not give a shit, until the last minute even. Then even then not put all the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out who is screwing them over. Most times others get blamed in the process. Their brains are broken. Because Republicans are trash doesn’t mean you have to look for others to be trash, too.

      Republicans do not think women are second class citizen. That would imply they are independent citizens.

      Republicans think women are property. Full stop.

    After another flaccid debate, Republican operatives and donors are privately expressing what they can’t yet state openly: the 2024 race is probably over, the debates aren’t moving the needle. Which means that Trump and whoever he picks will be the top of the ticket. It doesn’t matter what DeSantis commits to, he won’t be there.

      dingleberry’s gameplan of not participating in the debates is probably the single smartest thing he’s ever done.

        Idgaf who they are or what party they belong to, any candidate that can’t come to the table and debate their positions has no business governing. Unbelievable that this strategy is even viable.
