Biden Picked a Fight and DeSantis Just Delivered a Knock Out

The White House has been attacking Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for weeks and has become increasingly aggressive over the past few days.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki has regularly gone after DeSantis from the briefing room and during an event outside of the White House Thursday afternoon, President Joe Biden took a swipe by pretending not to know who DeSantis was.

When asked to respond to the attacks during an event on Friday, DeSantis said he doesn't blame Biden for not remembering him. He then listed all of the issues Biden is failing to properly address.

"I guess I'm not surprised that Biden doesn't remember me. I guess the question is what else has he forgotten. Biden's forgotten about the crisis as our southern border I can tell you that. Biden has forgotten about the inflation that is biting the budgets of families all throughout our country. Biden has forgotten about the demonstrators who are fighting for freedom down in Cuba. Biden has even forgotten about the constitution itself as you saw with what he did with this moratorium," DeSantis said. "And I can just tell you, I'm the governor who protects parents and their ability to make the right choices for their kids' education. I'm the governor who protects the jobs and education and businesses in Florida by not letting the federal government lock us down. I'm the governor who answer to the people of Florida, not the bureaucrats in Washington."

How do you propose he wins when we let them steal the last one?
The fraud will be even worse then the Last go around.

Stop dreaming that we have a chance at winning fairly.

Imagine a VP willing to fight alongside Trump

A good choice for President Trump to select in 2022. Then if he stays loyal as his running mate in 2024.

>>Ron DeSantis MUST be on the ticket in 2024!

I like him, I like his style, but I just don’t think he is going to appeal to a huge swatch of the potential voters like Trump did.

DeSantis has executive experience. He’s the Governor of Florida and most of our best presidents have been former governors.

He was my Rep only a few years ago. I knew him when…well, sort of, since I’ve never met him personally.

The other good news is, DeSantis is setting a precedent and leading the charge for (hopefully) other governors to follow. We shall see...

If DeSantis delivered a knockout, then why is Biden still POTUS?
All the networks including Fox News want Biden. That's why.

Go outside of FreeRepublic no one knows who DeSantis is.

They’ve been doing that since he won the Governor’s race in Florida, if they had found any GOOD SH!T against him it would have already been thrown up against the wall.

” accused “?
My Grandfather had Dementia. I lived with it for about 7 years.
Joe Biden may not have full blown dementia, but he is already well on his way there.

DeSantis has the most immediate come backs of anyone I have ever seen.

He has the quickest mind and the best way of articulating than any politician, including the revered Ronald Reagan.
His organized mind lists the salient points with a wonderful way of phrasing them.

I am astonished and in awe of him. He was a great congressman. He is a fantastic governor.

I can only hope and imagine his performance as a President.
