Ron DeSantis returns fire against Donald Trump, contends voters’ ‘verdict’ on the Governor is in

'America's Governor' points to the scoreboard in response to the former President's fulminations. Gov. Ron DeSantis is finally on offense against former President Donald Trump, spotlighting the two men’s most recent elections.

Trump, who has attacked DeSantis repeatedly since before the November 2022 election, had gotten away with relative impunity slamming the man he’s dubbed “Ron DeSanctimonious.” The most recent attack was on DeSantis’ handling of COVID-19.

But at a press conference in Bradenton, the Governor said the people of Florida had “rendered” their “verdict” with his re-election last year, offering yet another preview of a potential 2024 GOP Primary slugfest between the former allies.

“What I would just say is this. I roll out of bed, I have people attacking me from all angles. It’s been happening for many, many years,” DeSantis said.

“If you take a crisis situation like COVID, the good thing is that if you’re an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions. You’ve got to steer that ship. And the good thing is, the people are able to render a judgment on that, whether they re-elect you or not.”

“I’m happy to say that, you know, in my case, not only did we win re-election, we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican Governor candidate has in the history of the state of Florida,” DeSantis said, noting his raw vote margin “nearly doubled” the previous record.

“That verdict has been rendered by the people of the state of Florida,” DeSantis added to applause.

His hand picked director of fast (political) response, loves Zelensky.

DeSantis, being a state official, from Florida, isn’t limited to choosing Swamp Dwellers in general; and still less for his “War Room.”

Nice try at sliding the goal posts into a false conclusion.

Oh so from your perspective Trump gets a free pass for appointing all kinds of horrible swamp monsters directly into high level deep states operative positions like Bill Barr and Chris Wray, but DeSantis can’t have one person on his team just because they might support the war in Ukraine?

Sounds completely unbalanced, but not unexpected since The Plan (TM) you’re still supporting includes the continued rollout of clot shots.

What do you call yourself, someone who watches our candidate get back stabbed by RINOs, and then turns around and claps for whomever the same backstabbers put forth as "our" candidate?

Trump back-stabbed conservatives in Pennsylvania by LYING about the only conservative in the Senate primary so he could install his anti-gun, pro child gential mutilation friend, Dr Azz as our nominee and who could not even beat a braindead zombie.

You can continue to lick Trump's backside as he sells you out with his support for Fauci, Wray, vaccines, McCarthy, McDaniel, etc, etc, etc.
