DeSantis brushes off Trump attacks: ‘All that’s just noise’
The Hill ^ | 11/15/2022 | Jared Gans

Posted on 11/15/2022 10:51:34 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) brushed off attacks from former President Trump while taking questions at a high school on Tuesday, saying the criticism he has received from the former president is “just noise.”

“I think what you learn is, all that’s just noise, and really what matters is, are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results for people and are you standing up for folks?” he said. “And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters.”

DeSantis said at Fort Walton Beach High School, located on the Florida Panhandle, that he is focused on “results and leadership” and pointed to his overwhelming success in his reelection bid.

He defeated Democrat Charlie Crist by almost 20 points, and Republicans up and down the ballot in Florida won key races, leading to supermajorities in the state legislature.

“One of the things I’ve learned in this job: When you’re leading and getting things done, you take incoming fire. That’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said.

May be true. But the schoolyard antics is a little old and we couldn’t even get independent voters in the midterm. How are we gonna get them with the election of 2024?

I’m optimistic that more and more people are wanting “mature.” We’ve already seen what immature gets us.

Actually. We won 12 or so seats in the house and lost one Senate seat. I’m not so sure why people are calling it a failure. The best part is we got the house and I am so grateful for that. We can at least stop the crap from getting passed.

Stop it.

Just because you are an American Citizen doesn’t mean you can’t vote.

What BS. Here is the complete in context quote:

“One of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, yeah, you take in incoming fire,” DeSantis responded. “That’s just the nature of it. I roll out of bed in the morning, I’ve got corporate media outlets that have a spasm just the fact that I’m getting up in the morning, and it’s constantly attacking, and this is just what’s happened.”

“I don’t think any governor got attacked more, particularly by corporate media, than me over my four-year term and yet I think what you learn is, all that’s just noise and really what matters is, are you leading, are you getting in front of issues, are you delivering results for people and are you standing up for folks,” DeSantis continued. “And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters, and that’s what we’ve done. We’ve focused on results and leadership, and at the end of the day, I would just tell people to check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night.”

Media just trying to divide republicans.

What has RD done that convinces you he is a deep state operative?

I will say it’s kind of weird that since Trump bashed Senator john McCain, who was dead two years by the way, right before 2020 election, Arizona has gone blue. All Trump had to do was refrain from saying that, and he probably would have won Arizona and could have won in 2022. a little restraint would pay dividends.

His disguise has been great. Governing successfully all these years in a conservative manner and defeating democrats and fighting woke-ism. I wish all UN Establishment secret agents were so conservative.

Couldn’t be a lot more accurate post. You are right on the money. It was cool back in the day, but damn has it gotten stale.

A teeny tiny fraction of Americans are even aware of these “attacks”

You are right. We need more undercover liberals who act like DeSantis. In fact we need thousands of them.

The time of 2016 is over. Living in the past repeats the past, and it’s time for Pres Trump to live out his years in comfort.

The Uniparty will not allow him into office again, and there ain’t jack shit anyone can do about it. All the bluster and chest thumping are merely conservative virtue signaling - just like the libtards with a different message.

The last two elections should teach us how to proceed to win back power - incrementally. Trump’s ego turns off nearly everyone - and his accomplishments were mainly achieved thru Executive Orders that were overturned very rapidly.

Yes, I donated a lot of $ to his two campaigns, worked personally on the second one, and donated way too much to his legal teams after the 2020 steal, so GFY if you’re going to call me a Never Trumper.

Biden has done for geriatric presidents what Obama did for African American ones. Couple that with the ego issues, thin skin, and absolutely horrific HR choices, and it’s quite logical to move on.

Trump being the nominee in 2024 virtually guarantees another 4 years of DemonRat control. Is that what you all want? Seriously? Stop playing checkers.

I’m wondering if today is the day that desantis gets outed as deep state controlled-opposition.

By whom? Mr. Q?

Probably?

Is that why Fox made the Arizona for Biden early call?

Because Trump said some nasties about McCain, so the never-Trumpers at Fox didn't like it?

Ignore the “cult” label at your own risk. It stuck really well with the libtards, and motivated them even further to vote early and vote often.

“I’m wondering if today is the day that desantis gets outed as deep state controlled-opposition”.

You sound like one of those who believes JFK, Jr. is alive and standing in the wings to help Trump.
