When asked if he would shutter any federal agencies, DeSantis said that "we would do Education, we would do Commerce, we'd do Energy, and we would do IRS."
If he couldn't get Congress to agree with that radical idea, DeSantis indignantly said that he would "use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life," repeating the frightening viewpoint that leftism — which hardly exists in the current system of governance — is something to be combated.
