″‘You belong in the Terrible Candidates Hall of Fame.’ – Mark Hamill,” the legendary actor wrote on X (previously Twitter) on Sunday.
He was reacting to a tweet by DeSantis saying that he was dropping out of the 2024 race.
Accompanying the video announcement, DeSantis shared a quote that he attributed to Winston Churchill: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Though that quote is commonly attributed to the late former U.Okay. prime minister, there’s no document he ever stated it, in line with the International Churchill Society, a company that research his life and works.
Hamill regularly trolls conservative figures on social media, notably former President Donald Trump, whom DeSantis endorsed upon ending his marketing campaign.
