Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed Donald Trump's recent spate of angry attacks against him as 'noise' and touted his own strong election record in the 2022 midterms during a press conference on Tuesday.
DeSantis fired back at the former president hours before Trump is expected to announce another campaign for the White House at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night.
It's the latest hit in the two GOP giants' Sunshine State turf war, and a larger fight for control of the Republican Party.
DeSantis has enraged Trump by refusing to rule out a primary challenge against him in 2024. The former president has responded by calling the governor 'disloyal,' 'average' and 'Ron DeSanctimonious' amid a flurry of other insults.
Asked about that criticism on Tuesday, DeSantis suggested he was unfazed - but went out of his way to target 'the corporate media' more directly than the former president.
'When you're leading, when you're getting things done, yeah you take incoming fire - that's just the nature of it,' DeSantis said.
'I roll out of bed in the morning, I've got corporate media outlets just having a spasm over the fact that I'm getting up in the morning. And it's constantly attacking, and this is just what's happened.'

DeSantis either doesn't know this, his staff didn't tell him, or he doesn't care and did this anyway.
Personally, I don't care which one it is. The fact he said anything just gave the media more fodder to gin up more headlines with. Not a smart move on his part.
If these two go scorched earth on each other, the Democrats could win with the Laughing Hyena at the top of the ticket.
None of the issues of harvesting of ballots that tipped 2020 have been addressed. This is an individual state issue. PA, MI, WI, and AZ won’t change, and GA is lead by a couple of Crooks-R.
A Republican, even if it was Jesus himself, doesn’t stand a chance.
did you read the story? You’re the one that posted it.
Politics: Hollywood for ugly people.
No need to fall for the narrative from the enemedia. Watch the clips, see what Ron actually said, and stop paying attention to the spin provided by the paid liars in the media.
This only works if we let them.
Let the games begin!
Let the nominee earn it by fighting for it.
Yes, just like the cannibals.
I did read the story. People here are missing the subtext.
He was directly asked about the attacks on him by Trump. The response was about Trump but he also cleverly made it about the media
Read the story again
Bingo!
Finally!
DeSantis finally mans-up and tells everyone what a disloyal pick he is!
So ‘24 will be the dems again? Guess we still haven’t learned the depth of “their” hatred. 😵
Exactly. DeSantis said nothing wrong.
Personally, I don’t care which one it is. The fact he said anything just gave the media more fodder to gin up more headlines with. Not a smart move on his part.
~~~
So DeSantis should just shut up and dribble because the media is slanted?
Be a good boy ron and sit in your corner. heh
Zero attack on Trump from DeSantis! Media induced halucinations....
How many conservatives are harvesting ballots where LEGAL? (about half the states) There's nothing immoral about playing by the new rules, whether we like them or not.
Ballot Harvesting as explained by Rep Tim Burchett TN-02
https://twitter.com/timburchett/status/1591937147501682690
You compare the list of voters with those who haven’t voted. You approach those who haven’t voted in your party with a ballot and have them vote for your candidate. The harvester then takes your ballot to the post office or a ballot box depending on the laws in that state.
Not illegal. Not really immoral either. Find a lazy republican, of which there is no shortage of, have them fill out and sign ballot, turn it in. You're merely increasing turnout. That is a big part of what the dems are doing to win. Only 7 states mass mail ballots so it's not like there's a billion ballots floating around to fraudulently fill in and return. CA, CO, HI, NV, OR, UT, WA
Thanks for the vile stupid post, Alinsky.
LOL - look at the Daily Mail wieners practically wetting themselves in their excitement to help the Democrats create a rift between DeSantis and Trump.
Let em fight. It’s healthy to do it now. January of 2024, not so much. Florida cage match.
