Trouble in Paradise as Infighting Erupts Among Ron DeSantis Backers: ‘You Have a Stick up Your A**’
Breitbart ^ | 21 Nov 2023 | HANNAH BLEAU KNUDSEN

Tensions are rising and tempers are flaring among backers of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the governor’s presidential campaign continues to fail in its efforts to trounce former President Donald Trump.

Leaders of the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down super PAC reportedly met in November to discuss the dire state of affairs for the presidential hopeful, as former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley ramps up her efforts in Iowa and New Hampshire — dropping $10 million — in hopes of improving her standing in the polls.

“You have a stick up your ass, Scott,” Never Back Down chief Jeff Roe reportedly said to PAC board member Wagner.

“Why don’t you come over here and get it?” Wagner allegedly shot back, standing up, as two board members reportedly restrained him.

According to the outlet:

DeSantis and his wife, Casey, have been among those increasingly upset at Never Back Down’s leadership, according to two sources familiar with their thinking. And, after tempers flared at last week’s meeting, three close DeSantis allies — David Dewhirst, Jeff Aaron and Scott Ross — launched a second super PAC, Fight Right Inc., in part at their urging.

So DeSantis himself is having trouble with the strategy? But he’s going along with it?

Not quite a leadership quality

Did Ron’s wife pick his team? Just an Awful campaign, the worst l can recall. Even worse than HRC’s.

Again..the effort to smear Desantis (and hate) seems greater than for Biden on FR.

Amazing.

DeSantis should have stuck with Trump and learned a few things while being Governor of Florida.

Instead he hitched his wagon to Jeb Bush and these clowns.

Nobody here wrote the article. RDS campaign is a disaster. The facts speak for themselves.

Nobody here is smearing him. Just responding to the reporting that is out there.

This is a fight between theones who actually support DeS and the plants put there by the DNC — like RayEpps on Jan6.

Every time the “DeS team” spewed BS upon DJTrump it originated with one of these plants. It is just like BeijingBiden claims to want to unify us. This is planted disputes and other crappola.

No they are carefully selecting and pushing articles that are anti-Desantis.

Also nobody here hired Jeff Roe, the same guy that destroyed Cruz 2016 and almost ended his career.

So why don’t you guys ever post pro-Desantis stuff ever? There’s been like 2 pro-DeSantis articles in the last 3 months. Why? Because the fact is DeSantis supporters here don’t really support DeSantis, they are just anti-Trump.

During his CNN interview, or was it MSNBC, DeSantis did not smear Biden, he smeared Trump. Said Trump was too old, etc.

We here at FR can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can smear both Biden and the Special Eighth Day Warrior Creation.

If I knew how to self search my comments I would.

Why would anybody want to retrieve a stick out of somebody else's gumper? Must be some single digit midget mentality.

So what? You just said no one is smearing him and I was giving evidence to my argument some are.
