Ron DeSantis on Nixing Deep State: ‘We Are Going to Start Slitting Throats on Day One’ [Cringe-worthy!]
Breitbart ^ | HANNAH BLEAU

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used a surprising choice of words over the weekend when describing his plans to tackle the Deep State, promising to “start slitting throats” on day one.

DeSantis campaigned in New Hampshire over the weekend, attending campaign events hosted by former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA).

“We’re going to have all of these Deep State people, you know. We are going to start slitting throats on day one,” DeSantis said during the barbecue event. DeSantis also promised that his administration will ensure the woke agenda “ends up in the dustbin of history.”

New Hampshire Public Radio quoted one New Hampshire Republican voter who was not thrilled by the governor’s choice of words.

“If I was in charge of his PR, I would have said, ‘Don’t use that terminology,’” he remarked. Others on social media expressed similar sentiments.

“He is so bad at this,” one user remarked.

“I guess he’s going for the Charles Manson fan base vote…..” another said.

“Great, another one that hires ‘the best’ people to advise him,” one observed, as others joked that there will not be a “day one” of his presidency anyway:

DeSantis used the same terminology during an interview with Real America’s Voice last month, explaining that he would like his defense secretary to be someone who is ready to “slit some throats.”

“I think the idea that you take a flag (officer) or general officer who recently retired and put them as the Secretary of Defense, I think it is a mistake,” DeSantis said during the interview.

Further, an American Greatness/National Research Inc. survey released last week, examining the primary race in New Hampshire, also showed DeSantis behind, falling from 15 to 11 percent– a full 30 points behind Trump:

What has Trump said about the Deep State that is any different?

Quit blaming the messenger for your Candidate's bad choices and inauthentic nature.

Sounds good to me, not cringe worthy at all.

Trump, for all his ‘mean tweets’, never said anything like that. DeSantis doesn’t know what he’s doing.

“I think the idea that you take a flag (officer) or general officer who recently retired and put them as the Secretary of Defense, I think it is a mistake,” DeSantis said during the interview.

Mattis was considered a Marine Corps hero and no one questioned that pick. Maybe not Chesty or John Basilone, but there were a lot of Marines that would have fought someone to the death if they bad mouthed Mattis. No one knew that he was a closet, Leftists, CFR, NWO, Clinton acolyte that stated, apres Trump administration, that he wanted Clinton to win and be HER SecDef.

DeSantis proves every day that he doesn’t have it. I can’t say for sure what IT is, but he don’t have it.

Sadly, he has far too many in a trance and it’s doubtful any of them will ever vote for President Trump.

It is non-mainstream wording but is actually a very common phrasing. Here’s more from that article: ““You know, they may have to slit some throats, and it’s a lot harder to do that if these are people that you’ve trained with in the past or that, you know. So we’re going to have somebody out there, you know, be very firm, very strong, but they are going to make sure that we have the best people in the best positions. and there’s not going to be necessarily prior relationships that would cloud that judgment,” he added.”

Trump hasn't said he's going to slit throats. If he had, he'd be been indicted for doing so.

DeSantis is the most inauthentic GOP Candidate for POTUS I have ever seen.

Hyperbole much?

Wimps. DeSantis was in the Seal Team One squadron, albeit as support.

This is nothing, and actually what needs to be said, and done.

Nope!

Just my honest opinion.

Name me one other GOP POTUS Candidate you think is worse than DeSantimonious and we can debate, but for right now, as far back as I can remember, DeSantis is the worse!

How appetizing that must have been. I bet he’s a lot of fun at banquets.
