Governor Ron DeSantis is facing backlash after offering to send aid to a man accused of illegally tearing down a Satanic Temple display at the Iowa State Capitol.

Several supporters of Trump's MAGA movement responded by quickly pointing out that Cassidy's funding campaign had already been suspended after a $20,000 goal was reached within hours.
Some also complained that DeSantis, during a recent CNN town hall event, had blamed Trump for the statue being displayed at the Iowa Capitol in the first place.
"You blamed the statue on Trump," right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec wrote in response to the DeSantis post. "You didn't call for it to be taken down. And the defense fund already maxxed out. Ron DeSantis - always waiting for approval, always leading from behind."
X user @_johnnymaga wrote: "The veteran said he's pausing donations bc he has enough. You wouldn't know that because you don't actually care, you're just trying to get attention for your failing campaign. When asked about this at your town hall, 3 days ago, you said there's nothing we can do & blamed Trump."
"Why didn't you speak out about it?" @TammieMcDonal17 posted. "All you did was blame Trump. Now you wanna jump in the fight? This is what a weak man looks like!! This Christian man is a hero, you are not!!"
Right-wing news website The Republic Sentinel, which organized the Cassidy fundraiser, chimed in on the DeSantis offer with the following: "Thanks @RonDeSantis! We at @RepubSentinel raised the $20,000 needed by @VoteCassidy in a few hours and paused the campaign at his direction. We will reach out if more funds are needed."

I am supporting PDJT not Gov DeSantis.
But ... if your campaign can’t get ahead by your condemning Satan, WTH can ya do?
ha ha!
we sure live in “interesting times”
smiles
😂👍
Wait til the Christian veteran says he’s voting for Trump.
Good for you, Ron!
They are attacking DeSantis for speaking up late. Did any of the other candidates speak up early?
No. They are attacking him for blaming Trump. Did any other candidate blame Trump?
Well, we do have more grace than DeSantis & his supporters. We have more brains as well. Because we can see that DeSantis is nothing but a tool for the Deep State. He cried to Trump to endorse him in 2018, which Trump did, and he came from behind to win. He’s such a loyal person full of gratitude though. 🤣
The antichrist media gets very angry when thier boss is insulted.
Well, maybe it backfired for Governor DeSantis, but it worked out perfectly for the Satanists. It's getting them sympathetic publicity beyond the initial protests of the statue being set up and it has the Republicans/Conservatives fighting each other and further splintering. This is exactly how Satan has always worked, and we continue to fall for it.
Satanism is not a religion. It is an anti-religion. It is atheism packaged as a legitimate religion. Tearing down the statue was the constitutional equivalent of taking out the trash.
So desantis is under the influence of satan, because desantis is the one that used the statue as a campaign issue....?
I didn't say or even imply anything remotely like that. I'm saying that Satan (or at least the satanists) were hoping for some kind of outcome like this. I'm sure, in either case, Satan is happy to see it but, frankly, collective human stupidity often does his work for him.
You support DeSantis because you believe he is the person for the job. I support Trump because I have seen him lead and know he is the person for the job.
I saw what DeSantis could do at the lower level as Governor, and was impressed enough with him to be excited about him for 2028. Because we will need another person who has the courage to continue the fight against the tyranny that is griping this nation from top to bottom. Something I thought I would never see in my lifetime, but have become concerned about since the turn of the century.
But he has exposed himself as being nothing more than the willing tool of the GOPe, who by the way, have helped in getting this nation to the point where it is at today, by being the controlled opposition to the Democrats and assisting them at every turn. I say that as a lifelong Republican who has never voted for a Democrat. I was even against the Democrats before I was able to cast a vote. The GOPe are as evil as the Satan worshipping Democrats. The fact that you fail to see that speaks volumes about your judgement abilities.
Thank you for your service, but unfortunately that doesn't mean you are right just because you have served. I pray that you will see what is right for this nation.
If you believe that Trump is the Hitler for America, which it sounds like you do, then you really need to find the Lord. There was nothing in Trump's first term that indicated anything even remotely resembling Trump's leadership to that of Hitler's leadership.
May you have a blessed day.
When I saw that headline I thought it was the Babylon Bee.
That is a blatant lie, and you know it is.
I made no personal attack upon you. I spoke highly about DeSantis, but also expressed my reason for an about face on him when he showed his true self, after ripping off his mask with regards to Trump.
I'm sorry, but I must now hereby exit this conversation before I really unload on you. Bye bye.
