"I first saw it when I first ran for Congress," DeSantis said. "I had groups in my district where the IRS was targeting those conservative groups back there in 2012."
"And it's like a small nonprofit that just talking about the Constitution under Obama, they did it," DeSantis said. "No one was held accountable for doing that."

GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis declared that "we can never send American troops over to fight in Ukraine."
DeSantis made the declaration during his Tuesday Fox News town hall in Iowa where he took shots at fellow Republican presidential candidate when asked to respond to her Monday remarks on the Ukraine war.
The Florida governor blasted Haley for her recent comment suggesting New Hampshire voters "correct" the electoral process started by Iowa voters as well as the former South Carolina governor's stance on Ukraine.
"We have a lot of challenges in national security. One is our own southern border," DeSantis said "And you have people like Nikki Haley that care more about the Ukraine border than she does about our own border here in the United States."
DeSantis noted that China is America's "number one threat" and cited his military service while calling for "more naval power in the Indo-Pacific to be able to deter China's ambitions.".............................
