Friday, during an appearance on FNC’s “Your World,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, reacted to Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows’ decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot.
DeSantis suggested Florida could remove President Joe Biden from his state’s ballot for his alleged mishandling of border security.
However, the Florida GOP governor said the act by Bellows was not an appropriate interpretation of the 14th Amendment and would ultimately be reversed by the Supreme Court.
“Well, obviously, to have one executive branch official unilaterally striking someone off the ballot is not an appropriate interpretation of the 14th Amendment,” he said. “We could have — in Florida, what, are we going to have Biden struck off the ballot because he’s allowed an invasion of 8 million people, including enemy nations have sent people in? This could just be — end up being a tit-for-tat. So I think it’ll get reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court. I think it’s more of a stunt that you have a very liberal person in that position who’s just trying to play for cheap clicks.”
“But, ultimately, I don’t think it’s grounded in a proper interpretation of the Constitution,” DeSantis added.

I don’t think so.
Media has been like this for the decades I’ve paid attention to it. Even on the simplest issues such as a civil lawsuit media will refer to whether the person will be “found guilty.” Sure they’re agendized and determined, but they’re also lazy and ignorant, and many are just plain stupid
35 and a citizen....No state has the power to change the qualifications spelled out in the Constitution. Florida tried it in Gore vs Bush. It’s already settled law.
Eventually you are going die so why bother breathing? It won’t make a difference .
Why bother with facts? Just make something up based on perception and personal beliefs like the Maine bimbo.
Anthony Kennedy II and that Barret woman seem very weak and largely p0wn3d by Traitor Roberts.
As if the courts worked. What a joke.
The most corrupt branch of the 3 is the judiciary.
Mark my words: SCOTUS will overrule Colorado 9-0 on narrow grounds
I wouldn’t even go down that alley the SCOTUS will over rule these nitwits and DeSantis will kill the Rumpster in the primaries
This is where DJT’s big mouth gets him into trouble. There was absolutely no reason for him to make enemies with DeSantis- none.
Now DeSantis won’t rush to take Biden off the ballot- as he should.
(DeSantis will kill the Rumpster in the primaries)
Based on what? Be specific!
Don’t just remove Biden! Remove all Democrats for conspiring to undermine the foundations of the Republic. We have suffered from an insurrection since 2020.
LOL- sure...whatever you say
Yah, set up SCOTUS to render a full blown dismissal of this crappola. A clear US COnst violation. Slam dunk for all nine. Basically, a reversal of innocence until convicted, facing your accusers, conviction before ........
Set it up.
She was never put in office by the voters. She was appointed to her position as Secretary of State.
Why isn’t Trump saying this?
This is the kind of talk from DeSantis that helped build the myth of MAGA Ron. It sounds impressive, but what people have since learned, is just how selective DeSantis is with his MAGA. If he sees political advantage in talking MAGA, he’ll talk MAGA. In this instance we see DeSantis trotting out his MAGA routine after weeks of trying to gain political advantage from the ballot removal attempts on Trump.
They literally get a daily memo from on high that contains the catch phrases and words de jour they must repeat verbatim. Yes, they are lazy and stupid, but that’s not the reason they fail to report the truth - the real reason is that they would be fired.
