DeSantis mocked for fake Churchill quote

In bowing out of the running for GOP presidential candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis misattributed a quote to former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

"This is America's time for choosing," DeSantis said in a video posted to X/Twitter on Sunday afternoon announcing the suspension of his campaign. "We can choose to allow border invasion, or we can choose to stop it. We can choose reckless borrowing and spending, or we can choose to limit government and lower inflation." Amongst other notes, the Florida governor also patted himself on the back for "leading with conviction, championing an agenda marked by bold colors."
