ProPublica reporter Alec MacGillis was mocked on Twitter for suggesting that a piece of decades-old gossip about Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., was concerning.
On Saturday, MacGillis shared a lengthy Financial Times report by Joshua Chaffin that described the Florida governor as "Donald Trump with brains and without the drama." Within the massive analysis on DeSantis, MacGillis highlighted a second-hand account of the governor as an undergraduate at Yale University and how he would allegedly leave dates over their reaction to his pronunciation of the phrase "Thai food."
"Yikes: ‘According to a friend, DeSantis would tell dates he liked Thai food, but pronounced it 'thigh.' If they corrected him, Finch wrote, he would find an excuse to leave. 'He didn’t want a girlfriend who corrected him'," MacGillis tweeted.
The story came from author Charles Finch’s pandemic memoir "What Just Happened: Notes on a Long Year" where Finch recalled what he knew about DeSantis during their university days.
