Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held his first New Hampshire campaign stop on Thursday as a Republican presidential candidate — and capped it off by snapping at a reporter who asked why he keeps avoiding publicly taking questions from voters at his events.

DeSantis was posing for photos with attendees after the event when Associated Press reporter Steve Peoples approached him and asked why he won’t take questions from the people attending his campaign events.

DeSantis didn’t take questions once again at Thursday’s event in Laconia, New Hampshire, which breaks with a tradition in the state where presidential candidates often engage in extended Q&A sessions with voters.

Rep. Ro Khanna, a progressive Democrat from California who recently appeared at a state party dinner in New Hampshire, took a shot at DeSantis over this week’s incident.

“Free advice Ron,” Khanna said on Twitter. “In the Granite state, get rid of your entourage & stick around to answer every question. I know it’s a quaint idea. But the state still believes in town hall democracy.”
