Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) slammed Christmas toys made in China for the second time this year at his campaign rally in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday.
What he said: DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, complained about the “cheap” made-in-China toys he and his wife bought for their children for Christmas in front of around 100 rally attendees.
This cheap stuff from China, you know, when my wife and I get our kids Christmas presents, and the stuff made in China breaks, it’s like you can’t even last two days after Christmas without the toys breaking. And so, it’s really, really cheap stuff,” he said.
DeSantis made the comment while answering a question from the audience about his tax plans if he were to become president.
Not the first time: DeSantis previously commented on toys made in China during his rally in Florida in January, telling the crowd in part, “Santa Claus may need to not do Chinese toys because let’s just make it here… honestly anywhere, but not China.”
Key talking points: Some of the topics DeSantis discussed during his Texas rally included finishing the southern border wall between the U.S. and Mexico and ending birthright citizenship, which Republican presidential race opponent and former President Donald Trump also vowed to do earlier this month if he were to win the 2024 race.
The Florida governor also criticized Democrats and Republicans on their handling of illegal border crossings, telling the audience how the government always talked “about this yet never actually bringing the issue to a conclusion.”
What we’re saying is no excuses on this,” he said.
Declining poll results: DeSantis’ latest support numbers from an NBC News poll of GOP voters have dropped nine points from 31% to 22% since the network’s last poll in April. Meanwhile, former Trump’s number rose five points from 46% to 51% and former Vice President Mike Pence’s poll results only saw a one-point climb to 7%.
