Ron DeSantis danced round and round instead of answering when asked about Trump's bogus claim of "presidential immunity" by Kaitlan Collins at a CNN townhall in Iowa this Thursday.

COLLINS: You're running for president, obviously. I want to ask you about the limits that you think you would have as president. The former president keeps claiming that he can't be prosecuted for anything that happened while he was in office because he has presidential immunity. If you were the nominee and if you're elected president, do you think you would have blanket presidential immunity?

DESANTIS: Well, look, I mean, I'm going to, you take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. I did it when I was commissioned as an officer. Anyone that serves in the military does it. I took an oath as governor.

As president, you're taking an oath to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, and to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So I'm going to wield my authority with that obligation in mind. And if I don't think something is constitutional, I am duty-bound to oppose it. That's just the nature of the job.
