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.

I am not an American citizen and I reside in occupied Alberta, a citizen of PRC (Politically Repressive Canada), so I cannot vote in a US election. Even if I wanted to travel to the US and pull a ‘demonrat’ and illegally vote, which I don’t, I could not because I am a ‘pureblood’, STILL restricted from entering Presidementia XiJinBiden’s USSA.

Posting crap like this makes you look like a fool. After all, if you believe Trump, he made DeSantis the great Governor that he is.

So if DeSantis is another GOP stooge, then that’s just proves Trump is a fool who picks losers again and again.

So the trick will be to watch and see how the media treats her. If they are not attacking her with the ferocity that you would expect from a democrat apostate, or perhaps even propping her up with an atypical level of attention, then that would suggest the fix is in.

Saw that she was on Tucker’s show the other night. Couldn’t watch. She isn’t hard on the eyes, but she can’t read a teleprompter well yet. It was akward.

Don’t get me wrong... that is not how I would judge for or against someone’s qualifications or character. There are a lot of complete idiots who can read a teleprompter and sound natural or conversational, as we have witnessed. I just don’t trust the conversion.

Thank you.

Headline refers to Trump.

Actual quote doesn’t mention or even hint at Trump; instead, it’s a condemnation of the Leftist Piranhas in Big Media.

And Big Media lies about it.

Again.

And morons swallow the Big Media lies.

Again.

Don’t be a moron.

The governor was referring to noise from corporate media scum like The Hill. What a deceptive article. And they wonder why so few trust them.

We’ll see how much Ron means that if he endorses Trump for 2024.

Betting he will not.

The only way to correct the corruption, lying and cheating of the past six years is to put Trump back in the WH. Anything else lets the evildoers win.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
BINGO! That is precisely why I will back President Trump no matter how many other Conservatives lose sight of the target and whine and moan about his foibles! WE MUST STAY FOCUSED ON THE PRIMARY TARGET (Hint: It’s the Party currently abusing the power of government to turn our country into a fascist police state!)

Good post.

The problem is that President Trump is doing a good enough job dividing Republicans all by himself—with his own words.

Sorry, I’ve seen countless replies in here from people who claim anyone who dares speak negatively of Trump as part of the DNC - or worse.

I don’t care if my POTUS “appears much more wise and Presidential.” I heard people say how “Presidential Clinton looked.” People liked how measured and wise Obama came across while he destroyed our country.

I want a POTUS who can and will fight, who will destroy the infiltrators, traitors, barbarians, and restore our Constitution and launch a new birth of freedom in the USA.

Excellent thinking. Describes my viewpoint precisely! Thank you!

DeSantis has an advantage in that he can get things done and take credit for it. Trump, being out of office, can’t.

Had Republicans done as well as many expected them to in the midterm election, Trump could have capitalized on that but that didn’t happen. The best Trump can do with that is to try and shift blame to others

“Perfect response by DeSantis”

Good grief — irrelevant

Trump was attacking the Establishment and MSM

The collective idiocy is so damn painful
