“Nancy Sinatra called, she wants her boots back”: Hilarious Ron DeSantis white Go-Go Boots memes take over Twitter [Oct 07, 2022]

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.

Ron DeSantis in his Nancy Sinatra boots is having his Mike Dukakis in a tank moment.

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."

@DWUhlfelderLaw Nancy Sinatra called. She wants her boots back.

I have never seen white boots work by workers in messy places. Most are black, brown or green. White?

I think this is much about nothing, though.

The only alpha male that would wear white rubber boots is someone working in a processing plant cutting the heads from chickens or other poultry.
White leather boots are for women.
Brown or black for men. Or the ever popular camouflage!!
Does this guy not have a press agent?
Self induced black eye!

The meme dates from October of 2022.
The joke is attributed to Jimmy Fallon who said, “You’re not allowed to pass a ‘Don’t say gay’ bill, and then show up wearing Nancy Sinatra boots.” The Lincoln Project an extreme anti-Trump GOP PAC posted a comparison of this photo with the green M&M character captioned, “Who wore it best?”

I don’t know where you live, and I haven’t seen them in my part of Maryland; but people in places like Florida, Louisiana, etc., say they’re very common.

White boots were probably the cheapest and if government supplied bought from the lowest bidder. Not girly boots at all.

Lefties are going to attack anything to the right of Mitt Romney. That is unsurprising.

What is surprising is any self-respecting Man showing up in White Rain Boots to any public event.

The look is so . . . . Wussy!

You're not a man, are you?!

I wouldn't be caught DEAD in White Rain Boots for fear I'd be laughed at by all my friends, family, and acquaintences!

There are probably different kinds for different work. But there are good reasons for white boots:

“That is a recent photo of Trump. Taken after his booking and his claim that he weighs 215 pounds.”

I saw him on TV yesterday. He looked much slimmer, noted by me because of previous comments from detractors.

“And by now I’m sure you’ve read the replies that RDS is wearing work boots appropriate for the situation.”

Rubber boots are always appropriate in water. But white??? Have never seen that, except for women’s wear.

Must be his pudding eating boots so he won’t get his shoes dirty and sticky.

Those kinds of white boots are commonly seen around the Gulf Coast.

Two reasons for wearing white in a flooding situation if I understand correctly. (1) In hotter southern climates, white reflects sun and heat and keeps feet cooler. (2) For security reasons, white is worn so that the boot isn’t mistaken for a gator or snake when submerged. I know that sounds silly. But I KNOW I’ve read that somewhere.

I don’t know for certain, but it is possible that his security detail had some input on his wearing white if entering a flood situation.

If he’s had a history of crappy handling of hurricanes, then maybe I’d see it differently. But from what I’ve heard, he’s done an admirable job.

It is the optics. No one else uses white rubber boots on land and you can be sure he was not placed in any dangerous places.

And the governor of Florida does not handle hurricanes. There is a vast infrastructure set up for that that has been tweaked for many decades. All the governor does is sign the documents that have been established to address all the myriad loose ends.
