TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Officials who work for Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration — not his campaign — have been sending text messages to Florida lobbyists soliciting political contributions for DeSantis' presidential bid,
NBC News reviewed text messages from four DeSantis administration officials, including those directly in the governor's office and with leadership positions in state agencies. They requested the recipient of the message contribute to the governor’s campaign through a specific link that appeared to track who is giving as part of a “bundle” program.
DeSantis’ office did not return a request seeking comment, but one administration official acknowledged that they were fundraising for the campaign.
What the f--- am I supposed to do?” one lobbyist said. “I have a lot of business in front of the DeSantis administration.”
“The ethics behind this is questionable at best, especially when the budget has yet to be acted on,” another Republican lobbyist said.
Nope, people who are dirty and corrupt, do it.
Which desantis has shown he is.
Son of Chrisie-stein. Fate is the hunter. Someone keep the food away from Ron. He may blow up like his mentor.
Yes lawyers funding lawyers no problem.
Swamp creatures from the land of swamps.
They should damn well know better.

So what.
THE TRUTH!
Who but a fool would think he'd be anything but another Bush?
It’s not a big deal to someone like you that wants to go back to Bush-style Republicanism. But, it is to grassroots conservatives.
No, I say marxist antichrist nbc is full of crap. STOP POSTING NBC ARTICLES!
Grassroots Conservatives who suck up everything antichrist nbc feeds them.
The antichrist media has NO truth in it.
Nbc news is a domestic terrorist orginization.

This desantis supporter, much like many of the other desantis supporters apparrently have a 'anything Trump does is bad, anything desanti does is good' viewpoint.
It doesn't matter how corrupt, deceitful or blatent the lie desantis does, they are okay with it.
And they believe and want everyone else to just take it and vote for desantis.
No such luck
How about some honesty here, okay.
And how about focusing on getting Trump to clean up his behavior instead of trashing fellow republicans. Else, is your real goal to reelect Democrats?
The only thing the desantis supporters have done to defend desantis is say everyone takes bribes, and it’s perfectly okay.
Nope, it’s not legal, and all this shows is how corrupt desantis is and the extent desantis will go to, to win the presidency.
It also likely shows how corrupt desantis supporters are also, for them to find this acceptable.
No one is saying bribes are okay so don’t be an idiot and put words into people’s mouths. What I am saying is that soliciting d\campaign donations is always legal, always had been, and your sour grapes is that it is money for DeSantis instead of Trump. Get over it.
