The Lincoln Project has taken aim at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for saying that he doesn’t know where he was on 9/11.
In an ad, the political action committee formed by moderate Republicans, slammed the GOP leader for comments he made during an interview, dubbing him “not ready for primetime”.
Piers Morgan sat down earlier this week with the Florida governor, who it’s widely believed will challenge former president Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
During the interview, Mr DeSantis was asked where he was on the day that the terrorist attacks took place.
He appeared to fumble the question, saying: “I think I’d just graduated college and I didn’t have a care in the world and all of a sudden, Boom. You know, it happened.”
The Lincoln Project later released an ad which said: “[Governor Ron DeSantis] wants to be the next Republican president, yet he doesn’t remember the day every American can never forget. He’s not ready for primetime.”
Rick Wilson, a founder of the Lincoln Project, also noted: “Every American knows where they were on 9/11, and though he refuses to say it, we know Ron DeSantis was teaching at the elite Darlington school in Georgia on that day. Why he refused to answer has left America questioning his honesty.”
He continued: “The Piers Morgan interview was the cherry on top of one of the worst rollouts of a Presidential candidate in decades. In a week where his main rival is terrified he’s about to be arrested, DeSantis actually managed to come out worse.”

He just didn’t want to say.
He was with a woman he dumped because of how she pronounced “Thai food.”
Lincoln Project helping Trump. This means Trump is a RINO. = MAGA freeper logic
PDJT opposes anyone he is running against.
The so-called “Lincoln” Project merely opposes normality.
What a stupid thing to say.
“ What a stupid thing to say.”
Exactly. Now remember that the next time DeSanis is called a RINO because some moderate Republican says something in support of him.
There have been over twenty ‘9/11s’ since 2001.
One in particular?
What! I know where I was—and I bet you know where you were. What was DeSantis doing that he doesn’t know what was happening. I know what I was doing when Armstrong stepped on the Moon, When Robert Kennedy was shot—when JFK was assassinated. I really wonder about the guy not remembering that day.
That’s because DeSantis IS a RINO
Note they are opposed to both Trump and DeSantis.
Proof again that the Lincoln Project is working for the DNC.
I was literally in the middle of nowhere in Patagonia, didn’t even know it happened until 9/13
The Bushies only support DeSantis until they get Trump out of the way. Then they’ll dump DeSantis.
They’ll never get it….
“ The Bushies only support DeSantis until they get Trump out of the way. Then they’ll dump DeSantis.”
Exactly! The same way Scarborough and wifey dump Trump after the GOP primary in 2016. This is my point. But, MAGA freepers use this support for DeSantis to show that he is a RINO, Bushie.
Moderate Republican’’. A contradiction in terms. Moderation in politics is another word for cowardice.
“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue;’’.- Barry Goldwater.
Back in the day when the GOP had a spine. Now the GOP is trying to be all things to all people.
We knew of a couple that got married on 9/8/2001. Their honeymoon was hiking in the backwoods of Maine. They had the story to tell of on the Friday(9/14), walking into a supermarket to hear others talking about how horrible it was, and not having a clue what people were talking about at first.
Every American knows where they were on 9/11
My niece’s 17 year old daughter told me where she was.
This could be throwing some shade for DeSantis after his recent boo boos.
Anyway, I don’t know how a single person could forget where they were on 9/11/2001. That whole day is vivid in my mind.
“ Back in the day when the GOP had a spine. Now the GOP is trying to be all things to all people.”
The GOP hasn’t had a spine dragged Lincoln out of Ford’s theater
Let me try that again:
The GOP hasn’t had a spine since they dragged Lincoln out of Ford’s theater
