DeSantis is accused of sharing 'homophobic' campaign advert attacking 2024 rival Donald Trump for saying he'd do 'everything in his power to protect LGBTQ community' - as fans brand Florida governor a knock-off

DeSantis's campaign tweeted a video to mark the end of Pride month: 'Let's hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…'

Ron DeSantis's campaign has been accused of homophobia after it tweeted a video highlighting Donald Trump's support of the LGBTQ community, and contrasted it with a bizarre montage of DeSantis's policies.

The DeSantis advert, after footage of Trump, then cuts to a montage of DeSantis striding in a 'manly' fashion across the screen, to a thumping, bass-heavy soundtrack.

The video comes as DeSantis's polling remains stubbornly low, with Trump significantly ahead among primary voters.

Attendee Alexis Spiegelman of Sarasota, Florida, told the New York Times that she felt DeSantis was merely a knock-off of the former Apprentice host.

'I just don’t know why we would want a knockoff when we have the real, authentic Trump,' she said.

How do you mean, “libertine?”

That is normally a terrible thing.

Trump is basically anything goes, i.e. a libertine. That’s why he’s committed adultery numerous times. Trump’s libertinism is behind his cheerleading for LGBTQ, going back to before his candidacy.

Th problem is that Trump’s positions on LGBTQ are anathema to much of the GOP voter base. The DeSantis ad merely highlights Trump’s actual positions, some of which may be news to not just GOP voters, but voters in general.

“Ron DeSantis’s campaign has been accused of homophobia...”

It’s not a phobia, a fear. The proper name for it is “disgust”. No one is afraid of the homos or the trans, but millions are disgusted with both and are sick and tired of having their tolerance and compassion be abused and spit on.

So from now on it’s homo-disgust and trans-disgust.

Anti pervert?

GOP as a whole have elected a whole slew of degenerate Perverts.

And the Younger crowd don’t care about social issues as much as the old cows that elected the great Lindsey Graham and the Goat molesting Senator from Alabama who died a few years back.

If there are any Young Registered GOP, Its for fiscal issues, because we lost the damn culture war in the schools because the old cows decided it wasn’t Jesus like to eradicate Communism and evil from America.

Most under 30 are Democrat or Independent/non affiliated in registration, if they bother to vote at all.

Libertarians support groomers… you know that male homosexuals are mostly perpetuated through child rape. They aren’t born that way n they can’t reproduce.
If trump had any libertarian leanings gs why sign blank checks to big pharma, lockdown the entire country, sign a bumpstock ban, and as a final screw you to freedom on his way out.. give the dems total control forever by mail in ballots.

If the Meatball hasn’t come out in Public to disown the ad, then the Meatball owns it.

There has only been one known occasion of his martial infidelity.

One can’t even say getting along with LGBTQ people means he has sex with them or encourages the activity.

I get along with people who get drunk. I support drinking, but I don’t and I’ve never been drunk.

Does that make me a libertine, in your mind?

I expect more of this from the DeSantis campaign as he continues to flounder.

It won’t do him any good, when the primary starts, Trump will roll up an insurmountable lead in delegates.

Eventually donors will “pull the plug” on DeSantos.
