Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (former captain of the Yale University baseball team) said he’s not “a soccer fan.” But he did take some time to talk about the World Cup and U.S. national team while guest hosting Sean Hannity’s radio program Thursday — including a blunt assessment of how the team fared in its 4-1 loss to Belgium earlier this week.
“I’m not a soccer fan, but there’s a lot of interest in it,” DeSantis said. “I think the U.S. laid a big egg the other day against Belgium. I mean, again, I don’t even know that much about soccer, but I tell you, they got their rear end kicked, no question about it.”
Miami has been the host of several World Cup matches, and DeSantis did attend last month’s Brazil-Scotland game. The GOP governor wound up taking a Scotland fan to the iconic Joe’s Stone Crab restaurant in Miami, which he publicized on social media.
