As Congressman, DeSantis Would Call Trump ‘An Idiot.’
The National Pulse ^ | 06/23/2023 | JAKE WELCH

Posted on 06/25/2023 4:39:43 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, called Donald Trump ‘an idiot’ before relying on the former President to get him elected as the Governor of Florida in 2018, according to a feature piece published on Ron and his wife Jill “Casey” DeSantis.

During his unremarkable, five-year stint as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives between 2013 and 2018, DeSantis would spend his time talking to his staff about “the Constitution, baseball, and golf.”

The only times DeSantis joked around with his former staffers were apparently at Trump’s expense: “The one thing they joked about, the former staffer said, was Trump.”

“Ron always said this guy was just an idiot.”

Despite this, Governor DeSantis went on to beg for Trump’s endorsement in the run-up to the Florida gubernatorial election in November 2018, meeting the former President “with tears in his eyes” before asking for “a favor.”

The full feature, which has been described as a “hit piece” by Ron DeSantis’s staffers, can be read here. The campaign, nor the Governor, have denied the allegations.

I may be preaching to the choir but there may not BE an “election” in November 2024. The #JihadJunta has power, the GOPeahens in the house are doing Duck and Cover, and the world may blow up, much to the satisfaction of Kaiser Klaus, Yuval Asshat Harari and Bill Gates. We had better unify, call out the criminals, accept nothing but sentences for the thieves, and get right with the Lord.

“The one thing they joked about, the former staffer said . ...

Why is it they always quote "a former staffer?" They should at least have the gonads to name that former staffer.

We are ‘stuck’ with godfather Joe, because the GOPe helped the commies steal an election. Some of you deserve a second term of godfather Joe, and his queer GOPe..

All this itching at President Trump because he does not condemn the ‘lavender’ mafia, ignore exactly who it was that gave ‘legal rights’ to the lavender mafia ... Why, it was a case out of the belly of Texas... The same mentality that divined a ‘right’ to abortion... the unholy Supremes...

“Have some more antichrist media gruel.”

That makes as much sense as your ridiculous comment that fascism is Marxism.

Oh wow. A post from a known Trump propaganda site written by a guy with less than 350 twitter followers.

LOL! (And by the way, Trump is an idiot. This only makes me like Ron more.)

If true....

This reminds me of something John Kerry said about W. in 2004: “How am I losing to this %#@&+!? idiot?”

I’m getting weary of uninvolved people trying to foment vitriol against one side or the other. Let the primary play out. Trump’s approach is well known. Let Desantis formulate his own. Then let’s see what the end results are.

Please link me to an anti-Christ article I’ve been favorable
about.

Is this more of you attacking people from the right by
lying.

You referenced the full article and even the DeSantis
people declined to refute anything in it.

Are you calling them supportive of anti-Christ material?

Yes, Leftist. The article they quote is from the Washington Post. You don’t get much more leftist than that.
