During Wednesday night’s RNC debate, GOP presidential candidates were asked about Virginia musician Oliver Anthony’s hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond” —and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis landed a huge applause line.
The GOP presidential candidate said our “country is in decline” but that the “decline is not inevitable.”
“It’s a choice. We need to send Joe Biden back to his basement and reverse American decline,” DeSantis said. “And it starts with understanding we must reverse Bidennomics so that middle-class families have a chance to succeed again.”
“We cannot succeed as a country if you are working hard and you can’t afford groceries, a car or a new home while Hunter Biden can make hundreds of thousands of dollars on lousy paintings,” he continued. “That is wrong.”
DeSantis said America “also cannot succeed when the Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars” and that those “rich men north of Richmond have put us in this situation.”
