It looks like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cant sidestep ridiculous rumors about his height much longer.

People have been fixated on the Republican governors footwear ever since someone suggested DeSantis has secret lifts inside his favorite pair of cowboy boots.

But the Republican presidential hopeful walked away from a chance to debunk the theory during an appearance Monday on conservative podcaster Patrick Bet-Davids show .

DeSantis seemed confused when Bet-David tried to explain the shoe scandal with a viral video, but he refused to put on a pair of very fancy Ferragamo loafers to prove hes 5 feet, 11 inches, as he claims.
