Florida Governor Ron DeSantis warned during an interview this week that if the U.S. elects a “San Francisco Democrat” like Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president, she will destroy the U.S. the same way other San Francisco Democrats have destroyed the city of San Francisco and the state of California.

DeSantis made the remarks during a Monday night interview on Newsmax when asked about how much longer he thinks Harris’ honeymoon period with the media is going to last where they keep promoting her and ignoring her disastrous governing record.

“This is all the way until the election, assuming she gets the nomination at the convention, which it looks more and more likely that she will,” he said. “I’ve said that they were going to remove Biden. They did. And I also said if Kamala face-planted, that they would try to do plan B. I think that she’s been able to coalesce a lot of support. She’s raising a lot of money. And so, I think the media has come to the conclusion she’s going to be the candidate.”

“And so, they are going to do whatever they can to drag her across the finish line. I mean, they’re taking a San Francisco Democrat who has no accomplishments — she’s as vapid a politician [as] you’re going to find — and they’re trying to turn her into a cultural phenomenon. They’re trying to make fetch happen,” he continued.”

DeSantis said he believes that most Americans are “too smart” to fall for the media’s attempts to rebrand Harris.

“At the end of the day, Harris is a leftist San Francisco Democrat,” he said. “San Francisco Democrats have destroyed the city of San Francisco; San Francisco Democrats have also destroyed the state of California. Why on earth would we want to have a San Francisco Democrat in the Oval Office to dig our country even into a deeper hole than Biden is already leaving us?”
