The left is so terrified that Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis will be the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2024 that they’re already desperately trying to devalue his stock.

After mocking the event for using smoke machines (“What, are they smoking something down there?” So funny…), Behar stumbled her way through recalling what the handful of neo-Nazis did outside the event and falsely declared that DeSantis thought they were “good people”:

Just like -- like Goebbels did the Hitler – in – during the Third Reich. It’s the same thing. Right out of that same playbook. Okay? And DeSantis did not say anything about it, nothing. So, it's his sort of his rendition of good people on both sides, same idea.
