'The consultants who think this kind of 'running to Trump's right' is going to be effective should be sacked,' said Sarah Longwell, CEO of conservative firm Longwell Partners.
Andrew Clark, a Republican strategist - 'Lots of issues with this video,' he tweeted.
'Chiefly, the opening line from Trump saying 'I'll do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens' as if that's a huge hit?
'Is DeSantis opposed to protecting LGBTQ citizens?
Greg Kelly, the flame-throwing Newsmax host, said DeSantis was wrong to bring Caitlyn Jenner into his campaign, defending her as a true Republican and someone to be respected.
'WOW! Ron DeSantis Desperately Attacking CAITLYN JENNER-What's Ron's problem?' tweeted Kelly.
Posting another source of the story, because desantis supporter/nevertrumper are claiming the ad and story was fake
Why are you re-posting this? It’s already been pointed out. This is not from the Desantis campaign, and it says so in the video.
No one with half a brain thinks Trump is on board with the LGBT agenda.
All DeSantis is doing is staining the party with perception that it hates homosexuals even if they are conservative, which is not helpful to Republican candidates.
But, the establishment hates and fears Trump so much, it doesn't care.
The twitter.com/DesantisWarRoom is the ‘rapid response’ twitter account for team desantis.
They do the memes, quick edited pics, etc social media stuff for the desantis campaign.
Want another story confirming the account is associated with the desantis campaign?

I’m like Trump in my leanings. He’s libertine. I’m libertarian, but completely fine with whatever social conservative compromises are necessary to keep authoritarian Democrats from power.
The GOP base, however, is firmly anti-pervert (not my term - theirs). Trump’s tolerance and, indeed, words of encouragement for perverts may not fly with the GOP base. DeSantis reminding them that Trump’s beliefs share more with Democrat decadence than traditional right-wing continence could start moving the needle in the governor’s direction.
DeSantis is saying to voters that Trump is the candidate from Sodom and Gomorrah. Whether this takes - who knows? But in a GOP primary where other candidates are basically owned by big donors who are Sodom and Gomorrah-tolerant, this is a chance for him to stand out. His problem is that this could lead to fund-raising issues in relation to big donors.
Unlike Trump, the other candidates won’t be completely in the tank for Sodom and Gomorrah. Trump could have 666 tattooed on his forehead and still win a good chunk of diehard voters. Other GOP hopefuls can’t. But, like Trump, they’re GOPe and very fearful of losing corporate donors, so almost have to join Trump in simping for Sodom and Gomorrah. What to do? What to do?
Trump has known a lot of gay people in his time as a businessman and New Yorker. Of course he has no issues with gays and thinks gays should be treated fairly. What a dumb thing to attack him on.
Either you believe marriage is only between one man and one woman as GOD states or you don’t.
Bottom line Trump himself boasted of being the most LGBTQ+...friendly President ever so why don’t you want him to take credit for it?
“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.
Deesanctimonious is a clown.
Gaffes like Biden are all we get.
He’s the Jed Boosh of 2024 if he lasts that long
