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.

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

“Trump needs DeSantis to defend him? Is that DeSantis’s job? I don’t get it.”

Are you serious? Other politicians are speaking out. It is not that Trump needs DeSantis, it means that the Republican should show an united front.

I think you know that, but, like all DeSantis supporters, never miss a chance to be pissy.

Calling DeSantis one name DE-SANCTIMONIOUS is relentless arrack? WOW you lost whatever little credibility you once had.

Have you been paying attention? A MAGA super Pac is calling for DeSantis to be fired as governor for some stupid reason or other.

And Trump has not distanced himself from that idiocy.

DeSantis doesn’t need to comment on speculation. He would if they try to enter Florida to arrest him. For sure. DeSantis does not typically do rapid real time media response. He’s measured and comes with the facts when he does respond.

Correct. Remember when the feebs raided Mara-Lago? DeSantis came to Trump's defense and defended his state denouncing that overreach and abuse of federal powers.

Exactly.

DeSantis will have the opportunity to demand proper judicial review to comply with any orders to extradite Trump but the rumors going around Twitter right now is that Trump is going to fly to NYC and turn himself in voluntarily.

Desantis is a great governor of the short-bus state. President? Not so much.

“As Governor he’s in the position of deciding whether or not to allow Trump’s arrest and extradition to New York”

No, No, No.

The extradition process is defined in the U.S. Constitution, and it’s very clear. As long as an arrest warrant is issued and the paperwork is valid, a Governor, or any other state official, cannot stop extradition. The Constitution says the person Shall be extradited.

Trump’s lawyers could apply for a hearing in front of a judge, but they can only argue that the paperwork was not filled out correctly, the Statute of Limitations has expired, etc. Technical issues in other words. If they’ve got something up their sleeve legally, it might be worthwhile to delay extradition by requesting a hearing while they work on other stuff, but otherwise the process is pretty open-and-shut.

To be fair, The Don has matured and moved on. To wearing a cape and throwing gay parties at Mar a Lago.

“Whether it’s Trump or J6, it’s not about the individuals specifically, it’s about the constitutionality of their treatment.”

Exactly. And as a former JAG, he know what’s true and right.

Paying a bribe is neither regal nor presidential. And it’s not a crime, either.

Never Trump republicans are behind this arrest. If there weren’t republican neo-cons trying to take him down this would not be happening.

Ridiculous. Never Trump Republicans understand that this kinda stuff only rallies the base and makes support for Trump even stronger.

Democrats realize this as well but they're so obsessed with Trump that they just can't stop themselves.
