A man who handed out a participation trophy and labeled the presidential candidate as “our little snowflake” was kicked out of a Ron DeSantis event in Iowa.
He approached Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey DeSantis with the trophy during an event in Atlantic, Iowa.
“Before we begin, thank you, Governor DeSantis. I would like to present you with this participation trophy,” the man said to the crowd, perhaps not understanding the man's intended insult. It drew laughs from some people, including the arrogant Casey DeSantis.
But she became visibly uncomfortable when the man asserted that Mr. DeSantis “probably won't win the election” and continued to tell him, “We're proud of your efforts.”
“I don't do participation trophies,” DeSantis said as Casey leaned in front of her husband and encouraged others to speak.
“He's special. He's unique and he's our little snowflake,” the man said quietly, motioning for the two men to remove him from the scene.
