evidence: If Your Time is short - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis faced attacked from Republican rivals even before he entered the 2024 presidential race. We’ve fact-checked claims about his record on elections and taxes and his fight with Disney. [...] MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump political action committee, seemed to hark back to DeSantis’ days in the House Freedom Caucus. It ran an ad in Iowa that said, "In Congress, Ron DeSantis pushed a 23% national sales tax where the middle class pays more." We rated that Half True. The ad referred to the Fair Tax Act, a measure DeSantis co-sponsored in Congress to introduce a 23% federal sales tax and eliminate income, estate, payroll and gift taxes along with the Internal Revenue Service.
