Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is being destroyed on social media for refusing to say that President Donald Trump is innocent following the announcement of his indictment on Thursday.
“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society. We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation. Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter? The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all,” DeSantis said in a statement following the announcement of Trump’s indictment.

Many critics on social media pointed out the weakness and cowardice behind DeSantis’ statement that was carefully constructed by his handlers:
Ron DeSantis says nothing should be done about DOJ’s partisanship unless he is President.
He doesn’t call for an end to the Trump witch hunts. There’s no call to action now.
This is a strategic blunder from a Tallahassee team used to dealing with an overwhelming majority of Republicans. https://t.co/9mHPyqCRrk— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) June 9, 2023
“DeSantis administration”.
Every single Republican should be calling @RonDeSantis out for this disgusting, blood lust, power hungry post.
What a vile pig he is for making a campaign pitch off of President Trump being indicted.
I cannot stand with anyone who supports Ron DeSantis in 2024.It’s where I draw the line. https://t.co/dj2MgUuVej— Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) June 9, 2023
I think it’s absolutely disgusting that people like DeSantis and some others who used Trump to advance their careers are now trying to politically capitalize on the political persecution of Donald Trump.

Big League Politics has reported on how the RINO globalist elite are coalescing around DeSantis as the man who they believe can upend Trump’s America First agenda and divert the Republican Party back to the ‘good ol’ days’ of Bush-ism:
“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is quickly becoming the favorite of the globalist RINO mega donors who want to “move on” from Donald Trump.
Ken Griffin, a globalist RINO mega donor, talked to Politico about why he is backing DeSantis because he sees him as the vehicle to move on from Trump and his brand of populism that has made the GOP less hospitable for soulless corporations that have sold America down the river.
“He did a lot of things really well and missed the mark on some important areas,” Griffin said. “And for a litany of reasons, I think it’s time to move on to the next generation.”
Griffin has given $5 million to DeSantis’ gubernatorial re-election campaign in Florida. He is hoping that by buying favor with DeSantis, he can convince him to run in 2024 in an attempt to end the Trump revolution.
“Would I support him? The bigger question is, is he going to run? That bridge has to be crossed,” he said.
“He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president,” Griffin added.
It is clear Donald Trump is intending to run for president again in 2024 from the comments he has made.
“Everybody, I promise you, in the very next — very, very, very short period of time, you’re going to be happy,” Trump said. “But first we have to win a historic victory for Republicans on Nov. 8.”
In addition to the RINO megadonors, the notorious former House Majority Leader Paul Ryan is also on board for DeSantis in 2024.”
DeSantis has emerged as the most dangerous and subversive RINO to date. Trump is the last hope for the country. Either he defeats the deep state or the Republic is lost forever – those are the stakes facing us in 2024.
America is in a civil war with leftwing communists & godless sex perverts.
We patriots do not want or need a mild mannered establishment politician as a leader.
WE NEED AN AGRESSIVE LEADER WHO SPEAKS TRUTH AND STANDS UP TO THE TRAITORS
WE NEED TRUMP!!!!
I agree. And I see DeSantis as much stronger on both those issues, which are paramount right now. Trump signed every Omnibus, every bloated Covid bill, wants no cuts to government handouts, and throws parties for gays at his resort. We lost ground on government sprawl and sex perversion while he was in office. In Florida, we’ve improved in those areas. Just take an honest hard look between the two.
Did you read this carefully? In other words, DeSantis believes the political bias and weaponizaton should be allowed to continue until DeSantis is president. In other words, if it works, it's not such a bad thing. For him.
I only posted a response to the first items on your list, to demonstrate Trump didn’t do so great after all. And, I clearly said he did pretty good his first two years when he had a Republican Congress, because WE did do pretty good then. I was a huge supporter of his at the time, as my posting history shows. But he went off the rails in 2020, and hasn’t gotten any better. I also don’t think he can win the 2024 election, because he’s despised by so many Americans, rightfully or wrongfully.
It’s time for someone else to try to build a wall, since Trump couldn’t do it. And admit those horrible DNA modifying shots were a mistake, and clamp down in the homo agenda, both of which Trump supports. DeSantis says he will do those things, and has a great record in Florida.
With Trump, I feel like I’m having to push him around in a wheelchair, while he constantly gripes about how uncomfortable he is, and barks insults at everyone we pass. It’s old, and it’s tired, and I don’t think he’s capable of running in the race any more.
LOL....Mike Pence, is that you?
You really think Trump is a stronger candidate to stop sex perversion, one of the two main issues you mentioned, than DeSantis? Based on their personal lifestyles, their records, and current positions on the subject?
I’m Italian American. Doesn’t offend me at all.
He was called that because he was fat enough to be round.
I can post pictures if you need to see them.
Thankfully, Casey withheld food from him until he lost 50lbs.
She really wants to be First Lady!
“expect anyone who agrees with Trump’s ant-globalist, anti-deep-state, pro-American agenda to be loyal to him. I would expect anyone who doesn’t care about those things to focus on his personality.”
You stated “ANYONE”.
You EXPECT ANYONE to be loyal to him just because of those principles. (How about to the USA?)
You EXPECT ANYONE with a “focus on personality” to not “care about those things”.
Sounds like libel of people in general to me.
You’re saying if we worry about his personality (really, it shows his character), that we don’t care about the USA principles (they’re NOT “Trump” principles). Sorry, that’s total garbage.
Ridiculous reading between the lines and story-telling to yourself.
Excellent posting.
Better than Reagan again.
Positive vibe?
No way. It was NOT positive. Mediocre, at best.
Reagan there WAS major positivity. No one could hate him. He was impossible to hate. Smiled, joked, did not spout childish insults even at enemies much less allies. Talked about how great America IS. As opposed to Trump with the perpetual Mussolini frown, perpetual grump, perpetual slouch, insults right and left. Trump is an easy target for hatred, because he does not exude love and positivity. Never mind his moral character vs. Reagan based on long history.
Where do you live? In central VA? Where maybe it’s still nice and safe from liberals? Try living in solid-commie DC area. The pathetic virtue-signalling signs “Hate has no home here” went up ALL OVER our damn commie place. That was BEFORE the riots of 2020 led to more variety of virtue-signalling signs.
Sorry, Trump is his own worst enemy. His arrogance and caustic attitude reduced his effectiveness and minimized his accomplishments. It has emboldened his enemies and weakened support from any potential advocates.
Look at the pain his personal "fixer", Michael Cohen, has inflicted. How many of these types were in Trump's sphere of influence all those years?
How did his leadership selections turn out? Wray, Rosenstein, Barr, Sessions, Milley and a ton of others. Dubious, to say the least.
I love it when the OnlyTrumpers talk about Trump's magnificence, and then state, "Trump didn't really know anyone in DC and was beholden to the Rino's for these selections." Well, you can't have it both ways.
Then, with all of this upon Trump, the OnlyTrumpers want to up the ante and find a way to drag DeSantis down.
It doesn't work that way. Call me myopic, or call me a realist.
That’s what Freudians do. They read between the lines.
I agree 100%
These fools need to go pound sand. Y’all about 🐑
Do I have to give you a course in logic?
People “who don’t care about these thing” focusing on personality doesn’t mean other groups of people can’t also focus on personality. For example, people who care about those things somewhat but not as much as they care about personality can also focus on personality.
It’s funny that you would bring up libel when I was responding to a post of yours where you suggested Trump supporters put love of Trump over love of country.
“You EXPECT ANYONE to be loyal to him just because of those principles. (How about to the USA?)”
Now you’re just throwing out strawman arguments. Trump IS loyal to the USA. That’s why we support him. Loyalty to the USA is implicit in “those things” which I mentioned (i.e. ant-globalist, anti-deep-state, pro-American).
“You EXPECT ANYONE with a “focus on personality” to not “care about those things”.”
Again, I never said that. See above explanation. My previous comment still stands. You should try responding more with your intellect rather than your emotions.
RON! is the new JEB! for the GOP-E
Even Ray Charles can see it...and he’s blind and dead
Ron DeSantis should have known he was not yet ready to run for President and concentrated on the great things he has done in FL. His ambition may be his downfall.
Blatantly equating PDJT to Hillary and Hunter ... abominable!
Trump had some excellent achievements
but Covid was not one of them....
Fauci not fired
the vax was a great achievement
Wray at FBI...Esper at Defense...ugg
Trump can’t win Independents and can’t beat Biden.
