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.

I thought Florida made major changes to their voting system to improve election integrity? Am I wrong?

I’ll take a Trojan Horse doing the job versus a horse’s ass that just mouths off about it.

DeSantis is doing great for Florida. Why don’t you hear about it? Because he isn’t on twitter telling us his every thought.

“Lindell is self made multi-millionaire, and richer than you and me and 100 other FR posters, combined. That makes him more qualified to comment than you or me.”

You have messed up thoughts on civics.

“Because the Hollywood elites have no useful products I can use or buy.”

Neither does George Washington, you moron, but I’ll still listen to his words. Jeez, you’re dumb.

You are licking the butts of the wealthy elite. Typical cultist.

This is when Trump and (Lindell) love the guy but they are losing women voters by the millions when they go around calling names rather than put forward solutions-that is how Trump got elected

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.

The fact that you need to be a FILTHY LIAR about DeSantis shows you are an empty vessel cultist.

DeSantis has governed more conservative than Ronald Reagan as governor. If that is a "con" then I want more cons who keep implementing the conservative agenda.

You remember the conservative agenda? The one that 6-time loser Trump does not follow with his profligate spending, big government expansion and the parties with the LGBT crowd? The failure to build the wall, his primary campaign promise. The failure to shrink the deep state. The constant hiring of RINOs and endorsement of leftists for public office?

Agreed !
He does not necessarily have wisdom. and in my opinion needs to shut up and observe for a long while.

I would not say his pillows are horrible; however, they are no better than any other standard pillow you could buy at Walmart, Penny’s, Khols, etc. The hype about his pillows are mostly just a big crock of nonsense.

I own one thinking I would replace the memory foam pillow I normally sleep on. I went back to the memory foam pillow.

I own ine of Mike’s pillows. They are not great. They are no better or worse than any other old standard pillow you would buy at Walmart, Khols, etc.

The hype over his pillows is just a big nothing burger🍔.

The absolutely stupid Donald Trump will divide and be conquered again. Instead of concentrating on winning elections he name calls and always attempts to bring down good leaders that he sees as personal threats.

DeSantis took a gamble and first opened up the beaches for the spring breakers.
It was a good gamble. Outside, sunshine, fresh air. Our economy here in Florida requires us to be open especially tourist season.

All this infighting could have been avoided if DeSantis just waited until 2028. He made a poor choice running against Trump. Question is who put him up to it. Probably Deep State. Excellent post and makes one wonder why he didn't just do exactly that.

However, he has some huge splainin' to do with his assoc. with questionable donors,dominion lawyers and the bushs. Those three issues alone need some explanation to many of us.

When you look into voter fraud you find there are three people who may know more about it than most. They are Maria Zack,President Trump and Mike Lindell.
Ignore his opinions at your own risk.
