Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who is expected to announce he is running for president in the coming months, just keeps getting under fact-checkers' skin. As our friends at Twitchy highlighted, this includes PolitiFact, which rated comments from DeSantis about Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg as "true," yet still couldn't help themselves from coming after him.

Not long after, a Manhattan grand jury indicted former and potentially future President Donald Trump on charges brought forth by Bragg.
