The pressure that DeSantis is now coming under to comment on Trump’s rumored indictment was especially evident in replies to the governor’s most recent tweet, put out on Saturday afternoon, which was related to Hurricane Ian.
‘The world is watching your every move Ron,’ read one of the top replies.
‘You are making a grave decision by not addressing the current corruption. By staying silent, we know you are bought and paid for, which is horrifying for the future of this country,’ read another.
‘My goodness I never thought I would see Ron’s comments look like this…’ tweeted one person.
He simultaneously shared comments from Mike Pence, who on Saturday accused the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg of a ‘political prosecution’ after the rumors spread that his office would be indicting Trump over Stormy Daniels hush money payments.

Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, now one of the most powerful Republicans in Congress and once a dependable ally to Trump, also spoke in his defense on Saturday morning.
He wrote: ‘Here we go again - an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump.
‘I’m directing relevant committees to immediately investigate if federal funds are being used to subvert our democracy by interfering in elections with politically motivated prosecutions.’
He tweeted again on Sunday: ‘Alvin Bragg is abusing his office to target President Trump.’
Just who does RdS think he’s playing to by shooting himself in the foot like this? This has nothing to do about the campaign. This is basic equal justice before the law. RdS is going to take a powder on this for political reasons? That’s pretty close to being as egregious as what this NYC Soros goon is doing. This could well be a career ending muff.
Go away troll. You have been told, and you know why DeSantis is not rising to take this bait from Trump.
It’s not about Trump, Ronnie. It’s about all of us Americans.
Nobody gives a shit what Ron DeSantis says about this.
Every Republican in America thinks this is a political stunt by a Soros prosecutor.
The hyping of this is just dumb.
An indictment by a hack is the best thing that can happen to Trump which is why it won’t happen.
Who is the “Trump Inner Circle” anyway? Kim Kardashian? Omirosa? Kellyanne Conway? Lindsey Graham? Sean Hannity?
