Ron DeSantis Is The Wish.com Version Of Rick Perry
Gov. Rick DeSantis sounds like Rick Perry, who led the Department of Energy. So far, that's not so weird, but it's also the agency that the former Governor of Texas wanted to abolish but forgot its name during a 2011 presidential debate.
DeSantis said he would seek to abolish the Departments of Education, Commerce, and Energy and the IRS. He's a small-government type of Republican. He wants the government so small that there will no longer be oversight of our country's nuclear warheads -- because that's what the Department of Energy does.
NBC News reports:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Wednesday that if he is elected president he would seek to close four federal agencies as part of an effort to reduce the size of government.
"We would do Education, we would do Commerce, we'd do Energy, and we would do IRS," DeSantis said in an interview with Fox News's Martha MacCallum when he was asked whether he favored closing any agencies.
"If Congress will work with me on doing that, we'll be able to reduce the size and scope of government," he added. "If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."
