Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) “doesn’t have the rizz,” says former Trump backer Anthony Scaramucci, deploying the Gen Z word of the year, meaning “style, charm or attractiveness”.
The Mooch’s comments followed a CNN town hall with the Florida Governor on Tuesday night.
“You know, listen, Governor DeSantis has a very good record in Florida, I think Kate gave a very fair assessment of him. But he really hasn’t shown up to be president when you look at him.

“There’s a no-percent chance [Poppy Harlow] knows what you’re talking about. But I do,” said CNN co-host Phil Mattingly, adding: “And I deeply, deeply respect where you’re going with this.”
“You know, Phil, Ron’s got no rizz,” Scaramucci continued, “And you know that. And I know that. These other people got the rizz. Ron’s got no rizz. And I think that’s really what Trump is going to press on as it relates to this.”
