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.”

The people constantly posting all the anti-DeSantis threads are the ones pushing the confrontations, not me. I rightfully condemned what DeSantis said and you guys are still looking for an argument. Nothing less than bowing on one’s knees is apparently good enough, and why I refuse to submit.
“Nothing less than bowing on one’s knees is apparently good enough, and why I refuse to submit.”
Yep, see, TDS prevents you from using logic.
No wonder meatball is such a loser
He’s about as dumb as a fence post and should have never wasted the voter’s time.
I frankly never thought that DeSantis was this stupid. He has no chance. None. WTF is he trying to accomplish? Does he think MAGA will choose him if Trump is locked up! I’d vote for Ramalama before DeSantis of that Haley biatch. Especially Haley. May as well vote for a RAT.
Redfern.
Stick with 'experience', Governor DeSantis.
Yeah. He’s been out and about until now and he’ll be out and about every day between now and November. / s
His handlers are worse than FJB.
Congrats on the EPIC faceplant, Rhonda!
It won't be much longer and we won't have to put up with your constant disrupting nonsense. You will be a faded memory soon enough!
DeSantis is a slimy snake. A conservative Mittens
This is a pathetic loss of a good man.
He made the mistake of listening to the wrong people.
He should have stayed away from the Ryans, Roves, Romneys, and the other wimpsy Rinos.
I would have voted for him in 2028.
Well, Redfern, you are not fit to clean President Trump’s shoes.
If DeSantis has any integrity left, he would fire this person instantly.
