DeBUSH: Florida Governor Hosting Fundraiser with Bush Ally
National File ^ | September 18, 2023 | CHARLES DOWNS

DeSantis has previously expressed his deep admiration for George HW Bush, and is praised by Jeb!

Journalist Laura Loomer exposed that Ron DeSantis is set to embark on a fundraising tour hosted by major Bush donors in Texas. Texas billionaire Dick Weekley, who is listed as a host for the September 20th fundraiser in Houston, is a major donor to Texas Speaker Dade Phelan. Phelan recently did the Bush family’s dirty work by impeaching and attempting to remove Texas AG Ken Paxton. AG Paxton was the only state AG that made a serious effort to overturn the 2020 election at the United States Supreme Court. In 2022, Paxton beat silver-spoon George P. Bush in the Texas GOP AG primary.

Loomer shared a photo of the flyer for the September 20th DeSantis fundraiser in Houston. On the flyer, Dick Weekley is listed as a member of the host committee. Loomer captioned her photo, writing, “One of the most notable names on both invites for both @RonDeSantis’s fundraiser and Dade Phelan’s fundraiser is Texas billionaire Dick Weekley, who was one of the biggest supporters of the recent push to impeach
@KenPaxtonTX.”

Records show Dick Weekley donated $25,000 to Dade Phelan. Weekley’s organization, Texans for Lawsuit Reform PAC, also donated $25,000 to Mr. Phelan.

Loomer asked the crucial question, “It’s looking like efforts to impeach Ken Paxton were coordinated by @RonDeSantis donors in a Presidential year. If you were going to try to rig an election in Texas against Trump, you would probably want to take down the pro-Trump Texas AG, wouldn’t you?”

SCOOP: @RonDeSantis will be campaigning in Texas this week with RINO TX Speaker of the House @DadePhelan where Phelan is expected to help DeSantis fundraise.

On Wednesday September 20th, @RonDeSantis is having his Houston, Texas fundraiser the same exact day as a fundraiser for… https://t.co/olN7AlZprc pic.twitter.com/HOTpc03nX8

With 162 delegates at stake, Texas has the second largest number of delegates at stake in the 2024 GOP primary. DeSantis and his allies already tried to rig California, the state with the most delegates at play, to their favor. Loomer exposed McCarthy and DeSantis allies’ plans to award a massive amount of delegates to the second-place finisher in the California GOP primary. Thanks to Loomer’s reporting, Trump supporters in California forced the CA GOP to change their rules.

Trump supporters in Texas should keep their eyes open; it looks like the elite could be attempting to steal the state away from President Trump.

"Name the RDS policies that endear him to the Bush family please. Look, this meme is phony and preposterous. We all know it."

An elected president is beholden to his coalition and his big money-men. The scum behind DeSantis will demand more of the same Republican surrender-monkey behavior of DeSantis.

"I have no explanation as to why he’s only at 9%"

Because voters are tired of the same old Republicans and those same old Republican leaders, the traitors, are backing DeSantis.

I only remember Bush for un-necessary foolish wars and his insult to we the voters when we wouldn’t fold for his illegal immigration crap sandwich.

He is even more the weak puppy. Comes out behind his ugly paintings to support RAT policies and perverts like Biden and Clinton.

Indeed. It’s a different Republican party than the days of the Dubya Prayer Threads. Many of the people President Trump has brought on board were either unaffiliated or Democrats, and many of those Bush voters have died.

I have an explanation. DJT has so changed the Republican base that DeSantis conservatives and their message aren't popular. Ronald Reagan was the last successful conservative president, and he was elected 43 years ago. Trump isn't a conservative by most measures, and that explains his popularity.

Please, a dead alligator could have beaten Charlie Crist.

And Ron barely won his initial race.

“a major donor to Texas Speaker Dade Phelan”

Ron just keeps racing to the bottom. Is he trying to lose the entire base?”

Ms. Loomer attempts to frame Dick Weekley as a Bush surrogate who was complicit in the impeachment of Ken Paxton. Her research shows her to be either lazy or deceptive.

The full list of Mr. Weekley’s contributions include major amounts to many conservative stalwarts, including Gov. Greg Abbot, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Rep. Steve Toth and Sen. Bryan Hughes.

I wonder if Ms. Loomer is going to remind everyone that Trump once made major contributions to the Senate campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Krsten Gillebrand?

You might be able to pinch a penny like that but I had two brothers that invented copper wire.
They stretched the pennies so much that they made copper wire.

DeSantis is so great, please explain why his campaign is at 9% ?

I can explain: Trump is a RINO, and the GOP is a RINO party.

The America First message is the same message that Reagan articulated. Less Government, no forever Wars, and helping the working and Middle classes. It was just lost in bushwood for all the many years between Reagan and Trump.

COVID lockdowns, bump stock bans, Amnesty for ""Dreamers"", prolific spender, rules out any entitlement reform, criticizes 6 week abortion limits. Trump is a RINO's RINO. Really "tough sell"!! 😆
