DeSantis Calls Trump 'Pathetic' for Denying Knowledge of Fauci's Presidential Commendation
floridian press ^ | JAVIER MANJARRES

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called former President Donald Trump’s remark about not knowing who gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a presidential commendation “pathetic” and nothing more than “drivel.”

President Trump made the assertion on the Megyn Kelly Show and was quickly denounced on social media by supporters of Gov. DeSantis for the apparent lie that he espoused.

“I don’t know who gave him the commendation. I really don’t know who gave him the commendation. Someone probably handed him the commendation,” said President Trump.

Two days after Trump gave out the commendations, an apparently pro Fauci, Ron DeSantis, celebrated giving out his 1 millionth Fauci Vaxx to Florida seniors.

DeSantis is so FOS, that it makes him look like a meatball.

Trump did this to not only himself, but Trump unleashed that little creep Fauci on the entire country. De Santis is 100 percent right and it hurts Trump fanatics so much that they refuse to even acknowledge it. They would rather shoot the messenger than blame a guy who was too busy tweeting about what Chris Cuomo said on TV at 1AM to bother with little details like what was in the CARES act or bothering to see what a sham Covid was. De Santis would never have signed the CARES act and Fauci would have never been on camera a single time if he were already President.

Ah, but Trump supporters cannot handle the truth.

I have wondered what Free Republic will be like in the future, after Trump. Since just about every nationally known Republican is disliked by Freepers, who can Freepers support for any office?

I see some young MAGA Republicans ready to carry the MAGA torch. So I don't think that your premise is correct.

That's not proof at all. That's nothing more than a blurb, and a poorly formatted one on top of it, making a statement without any proof that Trump had anything to do with the award process. He might have signed some paperwork. If that were the case, that means nothing.

Show me the pictures of him awarding these medals.

It's called "integrity" and Trump has none.

Imagine you, and your desanctomonious lovin cohorts, talking about "integrity" LOL. There's a reason you-all are losing so badly in every single state; Hell by like 40 point in desanctomonious's own home state of Florida. It's called the slime factor, and you-all have it in spades. If Trump said he was unaware of it, he was unaware of it. Trump exaggerates, but he never lies. That is not true of you and desanctomonious, you-all are proven liars.

It’s not proof, except to a snarly idiot like yourself. I read somewhere that claims Ron attended a Drag Queen show.

Way to revitalize your campaign Ron. Is it possible to go negative numbers in the polls?

I wonder what Ronny's internal polls are showing -- he sounds shrill and desperate.

I'm guessing he's ankle deep in flop sweat right about now, especially with this from Fox, his guardian angel ---

Trumpers have excuses for all of his failures in leadership.

"He didn't know what he was doing!"

"He trusted the wrong people!"

"McConnell had him by the short hairs!"

"Trump often signs documents without reading them!"

"28D chess!"

And it was done that last day or so of Trumps Presidency. It was probably Pence.

Everyone knows what President Trump has done. He's an open book. DeSantis not so much. Those of us who support President Trump realize that his strengths bigly overshadow any faults he may or may not have. Anyone who tries to get into a game of "gotchas" with President Trump is bound to lose.

Why would Trump want to distance himself from Fauci? He went on to say that he didn’t get enough credit for his covid response while president.

Trump truly OWNS the Fauci eff ups.

You are using any reason to hate Trump..

Name calling isn’t necessary.

Your DeSantis came into the Frey because he figured they would have him out before election time. He could have stood with Trump and this would not have turned into a cat fight.
Trump is a patriot who has had the full weight of the government on him.. Unfairly so.

If DeSantis were in the seat and doing things the conservative way.. If he tried to drain the swamp.. He and his family would be under attack. He is young.. He is not seasoned to the point to handle all power and media... For a lifetime.

I don’t think that’s an unreasoned prediction, sadly.

Believe me, I hope I’m wrong. I want to be wrong.

Just going by some comments we see on Free Republic, I do wonder.. For example, for Republican candidate debates, people here are saying there’s a cast of idiots up on that stage. Almost all of those people are probably going to be Republican leaders in the years ahead , even if they never become president.

I want to be wrong about this. I hope and pray some good strong conservative leaders will carry forward in the years ahead.

Fauci was the head of NIAID for NIH. It’s not like Trump picked him out of a large number of qualified candidates. Any President would have consulted him and had on the team. Nobody knew Fauci was a psychopath. Fauci was foisted on us long before Trump came along.
