Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has admitted that he and his wife Jill, a.k.a Casey, decided he would make a run at the White House all the way back in November 2020, in little-noticed remarks to Fox News highlighted by The National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.
Asked when he and his wife decided they would betray Donald Trump and throw their proverbial hat in the ring, Governor DeSantis gave a surprising response:
“So, I would say starting in November of 2020, the number one thing I would get on the street is 2024. Our view is, are you the one to beat Biden and actually deliver on this stuff over an eight-year period, to serve two terms? And we came to the conclusion that we were the ones to do it and to get it done, and so, there’s been no looking back.”
“Hold on a minute, November 2020? So everything else, the gubernatorial reelect, all the chit-chat in between, all of the denials, all of the, like, ‘Oh, well, we’re looking at it, we don’t know, we’re not sure’ – all of that turned out to be disingenuous bullshit,” Kassam observed on The Campaign Trail podcast.
Indeed, DeSantis claimed speculation he was mulling a presidential bid was “manufactured” and dismissed it as “nonsense” in July 2021, again denying he was considering it in October, and and yet again as late as August 2022, when he suggested all the chatter around him running was the product of “media obsession”.
These assertions may make DeSantis, already tarnished as treacherous by the former president, look even more untrustworthy now he had disclosed they were never true.
“But they meaning the top 4 or 5 contenders should be competent enough to face each other and make their case.”
You mean Trump’s four years in the White House does not compare to what the politicians will say on the debate stage?
“Only a faggot runs away from a fight.”
Only a deranged, Trump-hating idiot could make a statement like that. Don’t post me back, you are too creepy to communicate with any more.
So he lied to the voters of FLA? Nope, everyone in Florida expected him to run. It was and is a non-issue (except to idiots who keep posting dum articles like this to bash any person not named Trump
Wow. So you claim to speak for everyone in Florida.
As usual, a DeSanctimonious supporter flat-out lies.
Both about what I posted to it and being paid.
It’s like clockwork, they cannot seem to help themselves.
Trump was right to start early on FL Swamp Gov,then..
How many people in that game of telephone you just described? Lol. Three? Four? Sheesh. But the trumpers accept anything anti-DeSantis as gospel. It’s funny to watch.
badmouthing ‘Trumpers’ - do you allow that here?
The sentiments of many deep down.
It’s a good thing mini-MAGA didn’t quit his day job.
Raheem used to work for and is still close to, Nigel Farage. Is Nigel a “neocon globalist”?
