[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  I seriously don't know what to say about someone who was over the age of 15 when 9/11 happened, and Does.Not.Remember where he was!

How is that possible to not know!???  Just really really weird.  Did he not hear about it?  Maybe it wasn't a big deal in GA where he was teaching at the time.  The world essentially shut down -- all flights were cancelled for at least a week (maybe many weeks)... there were big statements on tv at night and memorial concerts, and whatnot.

How can you not remember that time and the fear that our country was going to go to war?  That is really weird.[/quote]
I think I figured it out. He graduated from Yale in 2001 and from HLS in 2005. The year in the middle of those was the one where he was teaching history at the private school and going to parties with students - Trump has been harping on that. So the answer as to where he was is teaching history to high school students, and the answer to why he’s yada-yadaing over where he was during the actual event is that he doesn’t want to say that’s where he was and open himself up to questions about it.[/quote]
We'll that did not work very well.  Now we want to know exactly where he was and why he pretended not to remember.   It was a Tuesday morning.....was he at school?[/quote]
As a high school teacher in the South, yes of course he would have been at school on a Tuesday morning in September. But he doesn’t want to say “I was teaching my class at the Darlington School when we got that horrible news…” etc. etc. because then any good interviewer, even Piers Morgan, is going to use that as a jumping off point to ask him about his year teaching and about the allegations that he was partying with girls there.[/quote]

Not trying to be argumentative with you PP, but if DeSantis intends to run for President now or in the future, he's going to have to answer this question. If he wants to run for any future office he probably needs to figure out how is he going to answer this. It won't go away. It's like blood in the water.[/quote]

:lol:  :lol: 
Wow, dramatic much?  I’m quite sure he’ll have no issue stating where he literally was on 9/11 - I was stuck in traffic.  So exciting!  Most people don’t have some big, dramatic story to tell about where they were when they heard the news.  But if you think that’s “blood in the water,” so be it.  Your hyperbole is absurd, as usual.

But he did have an issue stating where he literally was on 9/11. Note that you yourself immediately offered up that you were stuck in traffic. Because EVERYONE of a certain age knows exactly where they were/how they found out. He doesn't need a dramatic story. He simply needed to say, I was in my classroom/out jogging/getting ready for work/at the grocery store/walking my dog/in traffic. That's probably what 97% of America was doing that morning. And the more excuses and minimizing all the DeSantis stans do simply draws attention to the fact that he sounded like a freak.[/quote]
