A Very 'Hairy' Situation Grows Between Newsom and DeSantis

You know things are becoming tangled, or untangled, as the case may be when hair gel and hair spray become political topics.

The hairy situation, as reported by Fox News, stems from a challenge made via Twitter by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom of California to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. In a Tweet on September 16, Governor Newsom stated, “Hey @GovRonDeSantis, clearly you’re struggling, distracted, and busy playing politics with people’s lives.

Since you have only one overriding need -- attention -- let’s take this up & debate. I’ll bring my hair gel. You bring your hair spray. Name the time before Election Day.” The Tweet challenge came a day after Newsom requested the Department of Justice investigate Governor DeSantis and Governor Greg Abbot of Texas.

Who would have the courage to show up?” At a Friday news conference in Daytona Beach, Governor DeSantis had this to say, “So the Governor of California sent a letter to the Department of Justice saying, ‘You need to prosecute Texas and Florida Governors’ And all I can say is, I think his hair gel is interfering with his brain function.”
