Good lawd, Casey DeSantis' shtick is past it's sell-by date! Way past.
Ron Desantis actually has to work a few days since we have a hurricane coming, so Casey went in his place to SC. Things went pretty much as I expected.

FIFA suspends Spain soccer chief Luis Rubiales amid row over kiss with Women's World Cup winner
CNN
FIFA has provisionally suspended Luis Rubiales, the president of the Spanish soccer federation, from all football-related activities over his kiss with Womens World Cup winner Jenni Hermoso.
Rubiales has been refusing to stand down over the incident, which happened at the medal ceremony last Sunday after Spain won the tournament.
Hermoso said the kiss was unwanted and she and the entire World Cup winning squad have refused to play while Rubiales remains president.
Rubiales said the kiss was consensual and the federation has been sticking by him, threatening legal action against Hermoso and others.

Spain women's football team refuse to play until Luis Rubiales resigns
The Spanish womens football team will not play any matches until the federation leadership is changed, they have said in a joint statement hours after Luis Rubiales hit out at false feminism and a social assassination of his character as he vowed to stay on as the head of Spains football federation.
The embattled head of the federation has faced fierce criticism for days, as well as a Fifa investigation, after he grabbed the forward Jenni Hermoso by the head and kissed her on her lips during the Womens World Cup final trophy presentation.
The statement published by the players union Futpro late on Friday included Hermosos rebuttal of Rubiales assertion that the kiss was consensual.
I want to clarify that, as was seen in the images, at no time did I consent to the kiss he gave me, Hermoso said. I do not tolerate my word being questioned and much less the invention of words I have not said.
