I think the nation would be better served if republicans rejected BOTH of those guys. I don't trust Trump to be truthful when smearing an opponent. There's good evidence for teacher DeSantis drinking with students; grooming seems a stretch at the moment.
Former Students Reveal Ron DeSantis Was a Problematic High School Teacher
DeSantis had just graduated from Yale University when he taught history at Darlington School from 2001-2002, though he does not have his time listed in any of his professional bios. He also appears to not have spoken on it publicly since obtaining national attention.
. . .
Several students recall seeing DeSantis at more than one house party thrown by seniors, some of which involved alcohol. Shortly after DeSantis left Darlington, a memo went out to staff reminding them that that fraternizing with students is inappropriate.
This may be the origin of the story
Darlington is a boarding and day school, for grades Pre-K through 12. In 2001, when DeSantis joined the staff of the high school, he’d have been in his twenties, with college and work in politics already under his proverbial belt. His students would have been high school co-eds, teenagers, some of whom would have been living on-campus. According to our whistleblower, he had a reputation among students for being a young “hot teacher” who girls loved, and the girls in the photo are believed to have graduated in 2002, making them seniors at the time.
