Republican strategist Jeff Roe quits pro-DeSantis super PAC amid turmoil

Jeff Roe, a top strategist for the main super PAC supporting Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, announced his resignation from the group late Saturday — the latest in a string of departures from the organization.

The pro-DeSantis group, Never Back Down, has been enveloped in turmoil in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, it fired three of its top officials, including the super PAC’s chief executive officer. The board chairman, former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, also left, as did the organization’s president, Chris Jankowski.

Republican strategist Phil Cox, a longtime DeSantis ally and adviser, has stepped in to help steer the PAC in the final weeks before the Iowa caucus. 

Roe ‘s departure followed the publishing of an article in The Washington Post on Saturday about backbiting within the PAC.

Roe said in a statement posted to X that he “cannot in good conscience stay affiliated with Never Back Down given the statements in the Washington Post today. They are not true and an unwanted distraction at a critical time for Governor DeSantis.”

He added, “I can’t believe it ended this way.

How ironic that Ron and Casey DeSantis, both major control freaks, who fear that everyone is trying to steal from them, turned their political fortunes and millions over to perhaps the greatest gonif in American political history – Jeff Roe, who burned through millions, and has nothing whatsoever to show for it. pic.twitter.com/HBcYNciP1k— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) December 17, 2023

NBD

The Never Back Down PAC, has burned through $269,000,000 and not one single vote has been cast in the affirmative. Good times! Woot! Woot!

I doubt that anyone was pinching pennies in their hotel room by cooking up some Ramen in a Fry Daddy.

Not to worry. Roe, like a bad penny, will turn up again to leech off another campaign. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he shows up trying to latch on to Haley's wagon.

That's how scumbags roll.

Just like the Hindenburg was good for the Zeppelin industry.

Roe was one of the main problems. Hid departure helps DeSantis.

And this breaking today as well…

Remember when Rob attacked Trump for his “women problems?” Trump responded that “someday Rob might have someone come forward and accuse him of sexual assaule - maybe a man.”

Don’t know if this rumor is true.

So there’s that…

Because you can always trust a Tweeter you’ve never heard of to bring you the real, unvarnished truth ...

Wasn’t Roe Ted Cruz’s campaign manager?

Let’s hope he doesn’t come work for Trump.
Too many DNC operatives working for the GOP

Maybe true, maybe not.

I hadn’t heard of drudge when he broke the Clinton story… he was right.

But people who aren’t interested in knowing if Rob is a homo, can simply throw pejorative descriptions at sources and whistle right by.

This is America for a while longer anyway.

Some athletic clubs still have communal showers.

Any campaign is bound to have one or more gay staffers. Some can be quite competent. If Trump spent time with Rick Grennell when there was an international crisis going on, would that say anything more about him than that he was concerned about the fate of the world?

Your point is true, but doesn’t disprove Rob is a flamer either.

The third source that confirms this will make me think it is likely true.

Hope it is false.
