Ron DeSantis on Trump: I can't speak to porn star payments
BBC News ^ | March 20 | By Anthony Zurcher

Posted on 03/20/2023 11:18:48 AM PDT by RandFan

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, when asked about rumours of former President Donald Trump's impending indictment, denounced the man in charge of the investigation, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

What the man who might be Mr Trump's most formidable presidential rival said next, however, was telling.

"I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair," he said. "I just I can't speak to that."

He went on to mention "porn star hush money payments" a second time, before pivoting back to criticism of what he called a "high-profile politicised prosecution" by a prosecutor he said was backed by deep-pocketed liberal donor George Soros.

The Florida governor seemed to go out of way to emphasise the tawdry origins of the potential crimes being investigated, even while denouncing the investigation itself.

That could be a sign of how Mr Trump's presidential rivals handle a possible arrest and criminal trial for falsifying business records and state campaign finance law violations.

Mr DeSantis had been under pressure from Trump supporters to defend the former president and denounce the prosecution ever since the Mr Trump speculated on his social media website that he would be arrested on Tuesday.

Trump is a lot of things, naive is not one of them, him potentially fooling around with a porn star was not from naivety, it was a desire to have sex with a porn star if it happened at all.

wut?

You think this mess has anything to do with Trump’s behavior in his personal life? Are you daft?

This is politics - pure and simple. They are going to take him out before he can up root these crazies out in the government.

Read some psalms - especially those written by David - and get back to me lolol

You’re right it’s all about politics, but I ask were Bill Clinton’s problems in office due to politics or his get a BJ in the Oval Office and lying about it.

If you don’t fool around with porn stars and pay them $150,000 then this issue would not exist, just like Clinton had he not gotten a BJ in the Oval Office he might not have ever been impeached, even though he and Hillary were guilty of much more serious crimes.

He didnā€™t fool around with this porn star - by her own admission. This is pure extortion.

And you are bearing false witness.

Your opinion is duly noted.

Trump was naive many times.

Not being a politician, he got backstabbed many times by people he thought he could trust.

He didn’t know how to run a tight political ship.

Like with Kavenaugh, it was a flase charge to smear Trump.

SOP for the left.

To them it’s not if the charge is true; the important thing is how damaging it is.

They prosecuted Clinton because of sex because they wanted to ignore his real crime.

HAVING his campaign financed by Communist China.

That’s what we wanted him impeached for.

Ron Brown was killed because he didn’t like that Clinton traded military classified software-which allowed China to target USA cities with nukes-for campaign ca$h.
