Donald Trump says he doesn't like the word "woke," despite using it many times in the past.
Ron DeSantis appears to love using the word, boasting that "Florida is wear woke goes to die."
"I don't like the term 'woke' because I hear 'woke woke woke' — you know it's like just a term they use, half the people can't even define it, they don't know what it is," Trump said.
Trump has used the word "woke" countless times over the years in speeches, official statements, and online posts.
Taryn Fenske, communications director for DeSantis, said woke was a "slang term for activism … progressive activism" as well as a belief in systemic injustices, Florida Politics reported.
