In an easily missed moment during Wednesday night’s chaotic GOP presidential primary debate, Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would sign a federal 15-week abortion ban.

Wednesday’s comment marked the first time since the launch of his presidential campaign that he said he would sign a national abortion ban.

The Daily Signal was the first to report and confirmed the governor’s remarks.

The moment occurred during an exchange with Sen. Tim Scott, where he asked the governor if he would support a 15-week abortion ban. DeSantis said yes.

The moment was widely missed due to the moderators talking over the pair while the exchange was happening, trying to regain control of the debate.

    Republicans hate women. They believe them to be second class citizens. Yet, I’ve seen too many not give a shit, until the last minute even. Then even then not put all the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out who is screwing them over. Most times others get blamed in the process. Their brains are broken. Because Republicans are trash doesn’t mean you have to look for others to be trash, too.
