Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has baselessly accused former President Donald Trump of hiding in a “basement” instead of being on the presidential campaign trail. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was in Florida earlier today to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law Amalija Knavs, having delivered two speeches in New Hampshire this week already and appearing twice in court in Manhattan. Trump speaks again tonight in Concord, NH.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Redfern wrote: “Current location of presidential candidates not named Ron DeSantis – Nikki Haley: Basement Donald Trump: Basement Joe Biden: Basement.” The post was a predictably tone-deaf attempt to score political points for Redfern’s boss, DeSantis.
Redfern, who serves in the Office of the Florida Governor, is not employed by the DeSantis presidential campaign. The political nature of his X post, written at 9:15 am ET, questions whether the state government employee was campaigning on the Florida taxpayer’s dime.
Florida law stipulates that “an employee of the state or any political subdivision may not participate in any political campaign for an elective office while on duty… Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.”
Users on X criticized Redfern’s vile post — including Jason Miller, a senior advisor to Trump, who noted the former President was at the funeral with his wife Melania and family at the time. Political consultant Alex Bruesewitz called Redfern “vile” and “a scumbag.”
The former First Lady memorialized her late mother at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida. “Her nurturing spirit had no limits, creating a legacy that will last for generations,” said Melania Trump on Thursday morning. “She was my dear friend, an irreplaceable treasure, a gift bestowed upon me by the universe. And for that, I am entirely grateful. Rest in peace, my beloved mommy.”
Not a good look, Jeremy. The man was at a funeral for a loved one.
Jeremy sounds like a jerk.
Nice job, D. A class act you are. /s
Send him that picture of Joe Biden at Dover checking his watch out of boredom.
The Florida Governor? Shouldn’t we start calling him the former Florida Governor?
DeSantis keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into this black hole he’s a already in. At some point Floridians are going to be too disgusted to have him as their governor.
Even though it sounds like he has been a good governor, it looks like the guy is just another RINO.
The nerd just wanted to use the word ‘basement’. Totally inappropriately, which makes him the nerd in the basement.
One term Governor Sanctamonious.
DeSantis has been a basement governor since he was elected as governor for his second term.
Yup, I think this is the final straw destroying his career.
Jeeze, Ron’s campaign is in a death spiral and hearing this jackwagon I think I know why.
Difficult to hide in a basement when you have to be in court every day.
He is obviously being paid to lose at this point.Just like Romney and Ryan.
“Not a good look, Jeremy. The man was at a funeral for a loved one. Jeremy sounds like a jerk.”
Jeremy is Jeremy - what counts is what it says about the person who HIRED him. Let’s see if that person apologizes to Trump.
Lol!
Enjoy the ratio, you a##hole.
President Trump was at his mother in law’s funeral today. He got zero sleep last night because he did a rally in NH and flew back to Palm Beach for the funeral, and spent all day at the funeral, And then he’s flying to New Hampshire tomorrow.Meanwhile, your boss decided to skip New Hampshire where he is polling at 5%.
🚨🚨This is @GovRonDeSantis ’s Press Secretary folks! His name is Jeremy Redfern! @JeremyRedfernFL . The same press secretary who said Ashli Babbitt deserved to be assimilated! He keeps blocking me and then unblocking me so that his tags on my posts are removed. He’s a coward and a conman, just like his Boss.🚨🚨

Current location of presidential candidates not named Ron DeSantis -
Nikki Haley: Basement
Donald Trump: Basement
Joe Biden: Basement— Jeremy Redfern (@JeremyRedfernFL) January 18, 2024
While the “basement” accusation did carry weight with regards to Trump a few months ago, it was clearly obsolete by this point, and DeSantis shouldn’t have used it last night.
Big deal. If sticking one’s foot in one’s mouth was disqualifying, Trump would have been disqualified years ago. If not most every day since.
Trump Force One has a basement?
