Christina Pushaw is a top DeSantis administration official who rose to prominence in political influencer circles in the 2024 GOP presidential primary race when she commanded a legion of “influencers” on DeSantis’s behalf in the race that saw him get blown out by Trump on his path back to the White House.
Now, Pushaw works for the governor’s office and apparently has been moonlighting as an informal adviser to a man named James Fishback who is running for the GOP nomination for governor.
Fishback has come under serious scrutiny over reports he lived with an underage girl for some time earlier in his life, and for his associations with anti-Israel activists.
Pushaw, from her perch in the governor’s mansion, had apparently been secretly advising and helping launch Fishback’s campaign while quietly attending campaign events for Fishback.

The desantis political deceit and corruption continues
Is there any evidence DeSantis is backing Fishback?
What sort of idiocy is this article?
Fishback ranks near the bottom of the (so far) 14 Republicans who are running for Governor of Florida this year.
Nobody knows or cares abut this hopeless Fishback chump, but I guess any chance to bash DeSantis for something in which he isn’t even remotely involved is a joy for the feeble-minded.
My thoughts, precisely!
pushaw has long been associated with desantis
she has been his press secretary before he ran for president, became his media advisor, and went back to work for him when he bowed out as some sort of ‘analyst’.
“ . . . lived with an underage girl for sometime earlier in his life.” So?
I lived with a nearly underage girl, too. Neither of us had a clue, except we were both hard workers. 45 years later we’re doing ok and still married.
The DeSantis bashers are getting a head start on the next election cycle—just in case. DeSantis could invent a cure for cancer, and some people would complain about how he is putting doctors out of work.
Meh. Desantis will never be president, so this is simply theater.
Yep. Sore winner is never a good look. Many of them live in crap hole states and can’t stand his success in Florida. DeSantis got stuff done and unlike “conservatives” like Youngkin he managed to get things codified in legislation so it can’t be reversed by a successor. Meanwhile the new communist governor of Virginia is already trashing Youngkin’s EOs.
