Mike Lindell calls Ron DeSantis a ‘Trojan Horse’
The Hill ^ | 03/03/23 10:55 AM ET | BY JULIA SHAPERO

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Trump, accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday of being a “Trojan horse,” calling into question the governor’s conservative credentials.

“The media is covering up for Ron DeSantis,” Lindell asserted while speaking on the convention center floor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in a video shared online. “He is a Trojan Horse; he is the Trojan Horse. Do not believe anything you’re reading by the media about Ron DeSantis.”

Lindell pointed to DeSantis’s battle with Disney, which ignited after the company pushed back on the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. The law, which became known to critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” law, limited instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary schools.

“Now I’ll tell you what: Ron DeSantis — and he’s got money behind him — did he do anything for Disney? Remember that was the big thing, you’re gonna go after Disney,” Lindell said. “He did nothing, they got everything they wanted, everything.”

DeSantis has long battled Disney and on Monday signed a bill ending Walt Disney World’s self-governing status and establishing a new state-controlled district, giving the governor more power over the area. The company has maintained control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District since the late 1960s.

Lindell’s criticisms of DeSantis echo those voiced by Trump, who has previously labeled the Florida governor a “RINO,” or Republican in Name Only. The former president has also attacked DeSantis’s COVID-19 response, taking aim at his decision to institute a lockdown and his support for vaccines.

Yes, he needs to keep his election integrity work in Florida. It’s amazing how many “conservatives” are fighting to allow Democrats to keep up their election fraud.

Besides his deepstate history that suggests he may be running a long con, Ron DeSantis thinks the voting system is just fine the way it is. And that totally disqualifies him in my book.

So, you admit you support George Soros, Bill Gates, and all the other left wing billionaires, and think they should rule over us because they have more money?

So if President Trump couldn't "stop the steal" in 2024, how is candidate Trump going to do so in 2024? The two states he complained about the most in 2020 (Georgia and Arizona) either have the exact same governor or now a Democrat.

Tell me how I'm supposed to believe 2024 with Trump at the top of the ticket won't end in November with a Biden win and Trump whining about fraud. Utterly predictable déjà vu.

The left and the RINOs are attacking him now. I don't even support DeSantis, but when I see how hard they are going after him, it makes me realize how much a threat the left considers him.

Trump has basi ally given up fighting Democrats, and only attacks the left.

I wasn’t vaccinated and I felt tired and coughed a little for 24 hours. Even with some comorbities. So, by your logic, I’m smarter than you.

Mike Lindell is just a carny barker. I’m not interested in his politics.

If DeSantis wins the nomination (highly unlikely) he will be attacked by the same media who is praising him now.

Yeah, no sh*t.

Any GOP nominee is going to get attacked by the media. It comes with the territory.

Romney? McCain? Do you remember the media giving these guys a pass? I certainly don't.

Someone could be successful in business but not have good judgement about politics. Just look at all of the rich people who are eager to help the communists.

Using that logic we should only listen to people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk, the amount of money someone has has nothing to do with common sense and their political beliefs

The same guy who predicted his legal case about the 2020 election would go before the Supreme Court and win a 9-0 decision, they’re the same person

I would have no problem with Trump/DeSantis for 2024 and then DeSantis/Lake 2028
