I’m very disappointed and Trump needs to drop this “nickname” for Desantis -fast.
To accuse Desantis of being “sanctimonious” is using the language Olof the left. Leftists call conservatives “sanctimonious” when they stand up on social issues such as the right to life, and opposing trans surgeries on kids.
Unlike calling Cruz “lying Ted” - whic was true - calling Desantis “sanctimonious” won’t work with GOP voters, because it’s not true and they agree with Desantis’s “sanctimonious” policy positions
Trump should not be attacking a GOP governor who has just banned sex surgeries on minors. Trump should be congratulating and thanking him
A couple weeks ago I heard a rumor about this. Just now Richard Baris posted this on Twitter (along with a number of additional insights):
“I’ve received at least a half dozen calls from GOP donors who have told me the contents of their conversations AND sitting members of Congress have confirmed it.
@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan have hatched a plan to defeat MAGA in 2024 and Ron DeSantis is the stool.”
