This led me to discover that NH ended capital punishment in 2019. Last I knew, we were the lone holdout in New England and the Northeast in general. Glad I got that corrected and glad that finally changed!

So I just looked this up today cause i was having a conversation about what he meant by that cause...that's a dumb thing to say.
Apparently...
After the interview, Tapper said he asked the DeSantis campaign “what exactly the governor was referring to when he was referring to post-birth abortion. They said it was a reference to when an infant survives an abortion procedure and life-saving medical care is not provided.”
Edit: still a dumb thing for him to say.

Surely not first tri. I don't even know why I'm trying to wrap my head around whatever he meant.

He didn't mean anything, he's just saying words that rile up his political base. Calling him a Chinese Room would be insulting to ChatGPT

"Post-birth abortion" That's just another word for 'murder'... because AFTER somebody is born, they're a person. Pre-birth abortion however, is NOT murder, it's just abortion.

That’s literally just called infanticide.

I was too lazy to do the math for Desantis' actual age

I mean, with the rate of school shootings, is he really wrong? He just seems to be OK with them in that context.

The Florida government murders people. Lots of red states do
I'm tired of them pretending they're doing something because of morals

I'm disappointed this isn't getting PolitiFact's "pants on fire" rating.
