When asked whether he believed Trump’s actions were wrong in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, DeSantis said Trump should have “come out more forcefully.”

I did read it after I posted the comment. The author is instigating turmoil.

Correct. Totally Fake News.

These ever Trumpers are running scared. And why? Polls show Trump up by 30-40 points.

Yet here they are again. Running a no name Twitter post and trying to insinuate DeSantis approves of the indictment.

“Too late.‘

maybe, maybe not. He does need to act fast to clarify this if he actually wants to. Ron is trying show he’s the better candidate without alienating Trump supporters too much. He’s not doing a good job.

"Boy I really hate DeSantis. He's a jerk."

"Why?"

"Because I just read a thread on Free Republic where the headline and the one sentence Twitter excerpt were completely disingenuous."

“And DeSantis is now off my list totally.”


Mine as well. Any GOP candidate that defends what the DOJ is doing to Trump will not be one who would stand up for conservatives against a crooked DOJ and FBI.

Just waking up, funny to see how 15 seconds of a much longer detailed answer is taken so out of context and the knee-jerk responses as a result. DeSantis is not excusing Trump’s behavior yet he is clearly objecting to Trump’s political persecution by the Biden DOJ/FBI. What more could anyone ask for?

I'm not sure what kind of moral victory you think you are winning by "torching the GOP" in the next election.

The Republican party is not indicting Donald Trump. The Republican party is not trying to put Donald Trump in prison. A corrupt Democrat-appointed special counsel acting at the behest of a senile, perverted Democrat president is. How is Trump himself going to fare under another four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?

At some point, we are going to have to think about actually winning elections instead of feel-good statements and platitudes to be rid of those who are actually out to destroy us.

He should have just stuck with attacking the DOJ. That will play well with the base. No need to get into the other. The potential downside greatly outweighs any up side.

It's like the first reaction to Trump getting indicted is to attack Ron DeSantis.

Every time

The post title and 15 second incomplete clip is wrong and misleading. DeSantis defended Trump not the DOJ.

Yep, DeSantis defended Trump, but he gave a detailed thoughtful and meaningful answer rather than a knee-jerk response.

Well there are other headlines more honest 'DeSantis defends Trump'. He has been joined by Haley in defending Trump. Asa Hutchison on the other hand has again called for Trump to suspend his campaign.

I agree. But he also wanted to stick in a subtle criticism of how Trump responded that day. He left himself open to this type of dishonest attack which, as the comments on this thread show, is very effective. The downside was too big to go there.

Bull poop.

It’s the ‘republican’ party that has shown it conspired and colluded with the left to commit election fraud so Trump didn’t win the presidency.

And it’s many desantis supporters/nevertrumpers here that push no election fraud happened, or it didn’t affect the election
