Twitter is having a field day after GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis declared that “the proof is in the pudding” when it comes to his electability as he moves further and further right.

The current Florida governor has long been mocked for an alleged 2019 incident on a private plane in which he ate chocolate pudding with his fingers rather than a spoon. DeSantis has since claimed he has no memory of that happening, but social media users could not believe he would make any sort of pudding reference that would bring that story back to the forefront.

...“The proof is in the pudding, I mean I took a state that had been a one-point state and we won it by 20 percentage points,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“I think he means, the fingers are in the pudding,” wrote former CIA agent John Sipher.

...“His Effing fingers are in the Effing pudding – that’s what’s in the pudding,” joked podcast host Keith Olbermann.
