Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently became the subject of an online memefest after a photo of him wearing white Go-Go Boots went viral on social media.
Reports suggest the photo was taken on October 5, 2022 when DeSantis visited Fort Myers to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian. In the image, the politician can be seen wearing jeans, a blue sleeveless jacket and a blue shirt with the now-infamous white boots.
As DeSantis’ picture surfaced online, several people pointed out the resemblance between his footwear and Nancy Sinatra’s iconic white Go-Go Boots. One Twitter user even jokingly said, "Nancy Sinatra called. She wants her boots back."
I’d say it goes with Richard Nixon’s wingtips from his walk on the beach.
“You don’t like the optics or believe he waded through any flooding.”
I did not say he did not wade through any flooding. He probably did not, but I don’t know.
And my opinion of the optics doesn’t matter, because I don’t like him anyway. The multitude on the internet posting jokes about it are the ones that are laughing.
“Well we can certainly agree that a “multitude on the internet” are idiots right?”
You need to get over the white rubber boots. I don’t care how many pictures you can post, and it can’t be very many.
DeSantis just looks ridiculous in that picture since no one else around ;him even had on rubber boots, just like the lone guy in your picture. DeSantis was supposed to be shown taking charge of the hurricane and he had on white rubber boots. That is why people laugh.
The thread is literally about white boots. If it were about property taxes, I’d post about property taxes.
“The thread is literally about white boots.”
The thread is about hilarious Ron DeSantis wearing white Go-Go boots to be precise.
And Nancy Sinatra.
I like Ron’s white boots.
I understand that.
Obviously the meme has legs even though it has no real basis. That is a subject of human interest.
I agree that he deserves it if somebody told him that this was the “look” for a photo shoot. However, if he just has those boots in his truck ready to get to work and help with the hurricane cleanup then that is normal. (Them being white is nothing, that is what they sell down there.)
That day at that site, however, he did not help a bit. In fact he interrupted the cleanup efforts. I am sure that he would have gotten himself into the muck to haul trash bags for an hour if they let him, and that would have been a reasonable photo op, but they were mad at him because he would not give them all the free money they demanded. Hence this meme attack. Next time he visited a hurricane cleanup site he did not wear boots.
You are attacking the Governor with this, and I understand that, but here you are forgetting your audience. You will not change anyone’s mind with this. This is only entertainment for people whose minds are made up.
If the Rinos and left are successful in preventing Trumps candidacy, we are gonna need somebody. DeSantis will do fine if he wears fisherman’s boots to every rally. They are not gonna let Trump be president, you KNOW that.
Really and truly a bunch of jackasses attacking over this. My God, what petty garbage you all won’t mock.
Ron wears white boots standard issue, and it’s a bad look.
Trump flings insults and mocking sounds in public about people, not a bad look.
Got it.
“Trump flings insults and mocking sounds in public about people, not a bad look.”
DeSantis saying Trump is too old to be president is not mockery?
Got it.
And, by the way, what exactly are the mocking sounds Trump makes?
Sooty I’m on a cell phone now and can’t easily find and post all the obvious remarks he’s made just in the past months. It’s intuitively obvious he’s a jackass.
“It’s intuitively obvious he’s a jackass.”
No, it is intuitively obviouus who the jackass is.
And if you believe Biden won over 81 million votes, you can add idiocy to the mix.
When it comes to rubber boots, I use whatever my company has available.
I suspect that is the case here.

Yes - the multitude laughing at rubber work boots are complete morons.
