Critics bashed an online profile Friday of the wife of expected presidential contender and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the piece misogynistic and vicious. The Politico article, “The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” quoted anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleged insiders and Democratic strategists who accused the first lady of Florida of being “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president.

SNIP

The story labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast-cancer survivor and mom of three “paranoid” and “vindictive” while quoting a male DeSantis supporter who said she needed to “take a more traditional role’’ and a Trump operative who called her similar to “Lady MacBeth.”

“If you’re a Democrat and a woman, you’re ‘fierce’ or an ‘unapologetic’ or whatever,” a senior DeSantis adviser raged to The Post. “If you’re a Republican or a conservative, you turn into a cartoon villainess.

Upset the desantis' are being attacked?

Politicians and their families always get attacks...

Watch interest and attacks ramp up for the desantis', since ron claims he will be running for president.

You know, attacks just like how the desantis supporters/nevertrumpers attack Trump and his family here.

Did they do the same when Melania was trashed and mocked for not speaking good English?

Lol. I don’t endorse anyone at this point, but that’s a ridiculous comment. Trump and his supporters went after DeSantis.

Sadly such accusations against Mrs. DeSantis are being thoroughly enjoyed by some here.

That's gaslighting and an attempt to fool people here.

Anyone can search your user name, and see you constantly post in favor of desantis, and attack Trump and his supporters.

And this lying about their neutrality or even claims of being past Trump supporters seem to be happening more and more here, so readers, don't get taken by suspicous claims.

Do you read English? I dare you to find one post where I endorse DeSantis, because I never have. But I won't worship Trump like you demand. Trump went after DeSantis on ridiculous things, I will call it out. I will for DeSantis too. But now Trump spends his time bashing people that McConnell doesn't like, and pulls his punches on Dems and RINOs

I have a lot of reservations about DeSantis, but when Trump/MSNBC/the left/RINOs all bended together to attack him, I thought maybe he's not as bad as I thought.

T reiterate, I don't endorse DeSantis or anyone, but I am not bowing down to leftist mind control.

I have allegiance to this country, traditional values, the Constitution, and God. President Reagan NEVER out himself ahead of those things. You may be angry that I won't transfer my loyalty from those to one man. Sorry, maybe you should reconsider what you are fighting for. You are just making safe for leftists to take total control of our country.
