Breaking! Gov. Ron DeSantis Quietly Changes Twitter Handle, Drops “FL” Ahead of Reported Presidential Bid Announcement This Week
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 22, 2023 | Jim Hoft

Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has come under fire after making changes to his personal Twitter account in preparation for a reported presidential bid announcement this week.

Previously known on Twitter as @GovRonDeSantisFL, the governor’s new handle now reads @GovRonDeSantis.

The decision to drop the “FL” from his handle has been interpreted by some as an act of distancing himself from the state that propelled him into the national spotlight.

Critics argue that by removing the “FL,” DeSantis is effectively signaling that he views Florida as a means to an end and has little intention of continuing his service as governor beyond his current term.

Breaking...again? TGP and the Hofts once again just copying and pasting from something random a handful of people posted...and it wasn’t today.

It is beyond incredible how stupid this is to report as anything significant. DDS on steroids.

A changed twitter handle and people pretend it is Watergate x10 as though it is anything at all of significance just to act / pretend to be outraged at something. More like the Left every day.

This is the 2nd dumbest post of the day. The first was essentially the same article.
He is running for national office, not state office- of course you drop the state designation.

DeSantis’s team is tone deaf, and the public has gotten better at recognizing pretense and phoniness in the candidates of today.
