BIG MISTAKE: GOP Presidential Hopeful and Florida Governor DeSantis Remains Silent on Latest Democrat Assault on President Trump – This Will Not Play Well with Trump’s Base
The Gateway Pundit ^ | March 18, 2023 | Joe Hoft

Posted on 03/18/2023 11:04:36 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is gearing up for a run for President. But today’s silence about New York’s prosecutorial abuse against President Trump is not helping him one bit.

President Trump is crushing all other candidates from either party in polls for the 2024 Presidential race.

Joe Biden is a disgrace and the most hated person to ever step into the White House. And this is before the upcoming economic meltdown.

President Trump is leading all GOP candidates for President and hopefuls. Many people believe Ron DeSantis should back President Trump to bring the party together. But DeSantis’s actions to date are the opposite.

DeSantis was silent about the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid by the corrupt DOJ. Many believe he knew about the raid ahead of time. He might have known about this garbage indictment announced yesterday for some time as well.

But rather than stand up to this obvious tyrannical and fascist injustice, DeSantis remains silent. This is a very poor political move.

DeSantis appears to be run by the GOP elites who hate President Trump because he wants policies that are America first. At least this is the message that is perceived by Trump supporters.

Now DeSantis remains silent at a time when our corrupt and criminal DOJ, which is quickly becoming the equivalent of the injustice departments of fascists in the past, attempts to arrest the President of the United States, Donald Trump, on literally made-up crimes.

What should DeSantis say?

I don’t understand where this is his problem at all. And he doesn’t control the judiciary in FL.

It’s best for him to keep his mouth shut until something happens.

Personally, Braggless will be showing that he wears an empty cod. Trump is going to name him repeatedly.

“Trump is relentlessly attacking and name-calling DeSantis, and Trump is upset that DeSantis won’t defend him?”

I don’t see the logic behind that either.

Doesn’t make Trump look good if his supporters think that DeSantis needs to ride to his rescue. That this is something that Trump can’t handle.

“Actually that’s the smart thing to do. For one thing Trump’s base isn’t going to vote for him if Trump is running. So trying to woo them is just wasted effort. And also there’s nothing to say that wouldn’t be spun, in both directions, and turn into a nightmare of having to “correct” the spin. Best to leave your opponent’s legal troubles alone. Go be governor. Do campaign stuff. Worry about your own stuff. Let your opponent sink or swim on his own.”

I agree 100%. This isn’t DeSantis’fight. It’s Trump’s fight. If Trump can’t handle it, then maybe he ought to reconsider running for one of the toughest jobs in the world.

“Trump’s a Big Boy, he can handle it.”

If he keeps begging for help, he’s going to look like a small boy.

I dislike it when people supposedly on our side try to create conflict where there isn’t any.

Trump is trying to get attention again. Perhaps DeSantis is smart to wait to see if this is even true. God knows we’ve seen this song and dance from Trump before. He loves to exaggerate maybe DeSantis is sick of the crap.

Who cares? If DeSantis would sit back and not say a word about a politically-motivated prosecution, he’s unfit to ever be President.

We need to have somebody that can step up if a health issue or worse happens to trump. Putting all the eggs in a almost 77 year old is pretty stupid.

DeSantis has an official role to play in all this as Governor of Florida since Trump's living here, that's why he's not saying anything.

As Governor he's in the position of deciding whether or not to allow Trump's arrest and extradition to New York in this obviously politically motivated charade. In my opinion if New York does try to arrest Trump then DeSantis has no other option than to refuse to allow Trump to be extradited, to do otherwise would to be allow this farce of the rule of law to continue and it would make him appear weak. Republican voters would remember that he was the one would could have stopped this BS but didn't. Trump has been bashing him lately and I'm sure the easy thing to do would be to let New York take him but it's not the RIGHT thing to do, and DeSantis is in a bit of a tight spot here.

DeSantis's political future depends upon him getting things right if and when this rouge DA comes after Trump. Now is not the time for DeSantis to be popping off at the mouth.

Politically, desantis could seize the news cycle by announcing he will prevent any NY law enforcement from acting to arrest Trump in FL.
