Ron DeSantis Has Another Technology Fail, This Time on Newsmax (Video)

thewrap.com:

Twitter Spaces launch of his presidential campaign, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has unwittingly walked right into another message-disrupting tech fail, this time on conservative cable news channel Newsmax.Appearing Thursday to promote his campaign, at one point DeSantis was on a tear about the travel advisory the NAACP issued for Florida that cited numerous DeSantis policies it says “erase Black history” and “restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.” And as he delivered a whataboutist spiel about gun violence in Baltimore, Maryland, the television video feed — and only the video feed — froze.The audio was unaffected, as was the newscrawl at the bottom of the screen.

DeSantis continued to deliver talking points from his usual “anti-woke” playbook, while host Eric Bolling’s face remained frozen mid blink, and DeSantis’ stuck with his mouth pursed in mid-pronunciation.

Watch the clip above now (video via ACYN on Twitter).The mishap comes roughly 24 hours after his much-hyped event on Twitter’s audio-only platform Spaces, which was intended to kick off his campaign with a memorable media splash but instead turned into a fiasco almost immediately.

Users who tuned in expected to hear a conversation between Twitter owner Elon Musk and DeSantis, moderated by David Sacks, a DeSantis donor and Musk investor.
