They’re at it again. Another activist media outlet is trying to do what the others haven’t done: Take down Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Hill Reporter’s Steph Bazzle wrote what the left hopes will be a bombshell hit piece against DeSantis claiming that he partied with underaged girls who attended the high school at which he taught. It begins as follows:
Ron DeSantis taught history for a Georgia high school after graduating from college. A source close to the situation claims that he partied with students underage during this time.
Bazzle describes that DeSantis was around 23 when he started his teaching career at Darlington School. The article describes Darlington as “a boarding and day school, for grades Pre-K through 12” and notes that “his students would have been high school co-eds, teenagers, some of whom would have been living on-campus.”
An anonymous whistleblower told Hill Reporter that DeSantis was seen as a young “hot teacher ” with whom female students were infatuated. An article in Hill Reporter includes a grainy photograph of a male that the outlet thinks is Ron DeSantis. Bazzle notes that “The girls in the photo are believed to have graduated in 2002, making them seniors at the time.”
The photo shows a male engaging in a group hug with three young women, and one holding what appears to be a beer glass. It was not taken after graduation, according to the source who provided the photograph to activist media networks. DeSantis therefore would have been able to control them. But, as the author admits:
Although it is unclear if any of the above were legally adults, they may have been too young for alcohol.
The article then displays DeSantis’ yearbook photo at the time when he taught at Darlington and notes that he has “the same bowl cut and wide grin featured in the photo” and noted that even though DeSantis would have been only about five years older than some high school seniors, there would be “a significant experience gap,” given that he had a bachelor’s degree and had already been involved in politics.
Bazzle then does what is expected and attempts to connect DeSantis with the accusations of sex traficking against Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R-FL). She writes:
This allegation comes at a moment when Florida politicians are being scrutinized for their links with underage girls. The Orlando Sentinel earlier this year contemplated the possibility that DeSantis’ close ties to Representative Matt Gaetz, which is described as having previously been advantageous, could become a liability now that Gaetz has been associated with a child sex trafficking case.
You are witnessing the journalistic equivalent to throwing your stuff against the wall, hoping that it sticks. Gov. has been under attack by the activist media. Since his first day in office, DeSantis has been under attack by the activist media. They told lies after lies about him in an attempt to damage his reputation sufficiently to stop him seeking higher offices.
This is speculation at best. It is difficult to determine if it is DeSantis, or another person because the photo is very grainy. But there is no evidence that the governor has ever engaged in inappropriate activity with underaged girls much to the activist media’s profound disappointment. They appear to be trying to launch a Kavanaughesque attack on the governor. Hill Reporter sent out a tweet earlier today asking for stories about DeSantis being inappropriate. The authors wrote:

It is hard to not sense the desperateness here. It is so strong I’m getting a strong whiff through my computer screen.
They are afraid of him.
Their decision to release this tale about weak sauce, and then ask Twitter users for more is a sign that they are desperate terror. One can’t blame them given the fact that DeSantis enjoys widespread support among conservatives, who want him to run for president if Trump doesn’t seek office. DeSantis is also one of the few Republican officials and politicians who doesn’t hesitate to criticize media outlets as much as he does.
As I’ve said before, DeSantis has Trump’s strengths without his weaknesses and this is why activist media outlets like Hill Reporter fear him.
