Ron DeSantis: Leftists Freaking Out over Elon Musk Purchase Because They Used Twitter to ‘Enforce the Narrative’

Leftists are freaking out over Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter because they used the platform to “enforce the narrative,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Friday, where he also blasted the Biden administration for installing a “Ministry of Truth.”

“When you’re not doing well, there’s two ways to do it. You can try to do better, and so then maybe people will like what you’re doing better or you can try to shut up everybody who’s criticizing your bad policies,” DeSantis said, concluding that the Biden administration “seems like they’re trying to do the latter” by announcing the creation of the Disinformation Governance Board led by far-left radical “disinformation chief” Nina Jankowicz.

“They want to stifle dissent,” he said, explaining that the public is sick of it. “And you also see it with Elon musk purchasing Twitter, you know, they wanted to use Twitter as a way to enforce the narrative.”

“When you do things like talk about things that conflict with what people like Fauci say or whatever… they will silence” and “censor you,” he said, noting that it is not something that should occur in a free society.

“That is something for a free society to not be able to speak out on these major platforms where so much speech goes on, you know, that’s a huge, huge problem,” he said, explaining that “Musk saw that and must saw people being censored.”

“He saw websites like the Babylon Bee,” a satire site, “being locked out because they had the temerity to do satire about some of the transgender ideology,” DeSantis continued.

DeSantis added that there is momentum behind the free speech movement, particularly “speaking the truth to a very decaying and discredited ruling elite in this country.”

Hard to think of another five-word phrase which sums up reality so well, and which will send those same "elites" into convulsions whenever they hear it. Hats off to GUV-FL.

If the do get the DGB (MOT) up and running at least we will know with a good degree of accuracy what really is the truth.

Losing control of just one part of the propaganda machine has set their hair on fire.

The leftist’s power is only what we give them. We’re taking it back. The melt down cometh.

Truth hurts, doesn’t it? No wonder the left is melting down when you have someone in power like DeSantis calling them out and not mincing words either! GO RON! GO RON! GO RON!

Leftists can spout their poison all they want, but I don’t have to read it. I know where the off button is and how to change the channel.

If any of the Florida pension funds have any stock in Disney, they should immediately file suit against Disney for the loss of share value caused by the financially irresponsible Board and former pervert CEO.

That is the proper attitude towards the American ruling class. They are fundamentally incompetent, as a result of their decadence.

The problem is leftists don't just spout it, they inject it into every facet of government, education, corporate, entertainment and social America. With social scoring being employed, your life will become circumscribed by their poison. Your choice of imprisonment.

The response by almost all Republirats? Ho hum.

Mr. DeSantis "speaking truth to power". A favorite self-congratulatory phrase that the leftists always enjoyed ascribing to themselves. Turnabout is fair play, and they sure don't like it.

A "decaying and discredited ruling elite". He sounds just like many of us!
