Despite war breaking out in the Middle East, an election-denying back-bencher now being second in line to the presidency, and a major party’s presidential front-runner facing nearly 100 felony criminal counts, the American media this week found the juiciest story going: Apparently Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis accentuates his height.
Early in the week, podcast host Patrick Bet-David asked DeSantis whether he was wearing boots with lifts in the heels in order to make himself appear taller. DeSantis said his boots were simply “off-the-rack Lucchese” and that he is a legitimate 5′11″ tall. (On the Lucchese website, boots sell for between $500 and $2,000 — not exactly everyman prices.)
