Sole-Searching Showdown: Ron DeSantis Denies High Heel Rumors In Awkward Podcast Confrontation

Written by Published

The PBD Podcast took an unexpected turn when host Patrick Bet-David confronted Florida Governor and 2024 GOP candidate Ron DeSantis about rumors of him wearing hidden high heels inside his cowboy boots.

The exchange became increasingly awkward as Bet-David presented DeSantis with a pair of shoes, urging him to wear them after bringing up the controversy. However, DeSantis promptly declined the gift, adding to the tension in the room.

DeSantis interrupted Bet-David's line of questioning, expressing his confusion by asking, "what are they, I don't even know, I haven't seen that." Bet-David clarified, explaining that there were allegations that DeSantis wore heels in his boots. DeSantis swiftly denied the claim, stating, "No, no, no, those are just standard off-the-rack Lucchese."

Seeking further clarification, Bet-David inquired about DeSantis' height, to which the governor responded that he stands at 5' 11". Bet-David then questioned why DeSantis didn't opt for tennis shoes or dress shoes instead. DeSantis defended his choice, stating that he wears tennis shoes when he works out.

In a surprising twist, Bet-David pulled out a gift for DeSantis, expressing his desire for the governor to wear it. The present turned out to be from high-end shoe retailer Ferragamo. However, DeSantis politely declined, stating, "I don't accept gifts. I can't accept it. I'm sorry."

Adding to the intrigue surrounding the controversy, former President Donald Trump joined in on the fun by sharing a meme about the DeSantis boot controversy on his social media platform, Truth Social.

The exchange on the PBD Podcast shed light on the ongoing speculation surrounding DeSantis' choice of footwear and the subsequent reactions from both the host and the governor. As the 2024 GOP candidate, DeSantis continues to face scrutiny and attention from the media and political observers alike.
