Here’s what you don’t know about Fla Gov. Ron DeSantis

He wasn’t a SEAL, just the attorney for them.

This is correct and I don't recall he's ever claimed otherwise.

Nonetheless, if you're going to be attached to a SEAL team in any capacity, you'd better be in shape as they get to pick and choose who gets to tag along with them.

[BlackbirdSST]

That’s it right there.

I like DeSantis, but I do NOT like his Ivy league pedigree. That is a mark against him in my book.

[boycott]

Part of the swamp? My goodness.

[dfwgator]

You do know that Trump went to an Ivy League school.

[Sacajaweau]

Can’t find that....

I received this essay as an email a few days ago and felt compelled to respond to my FRiend in this way:

“Don’t get me wrong - Ron DeSantis is the best “thing” to happen to Florida and the USA, after DJT, of course!

“HST, he is NOT a Seal - the email author does not have his/her facts straight re: DeSantis being a Seal.

“Governor Desantis served as a JAG officer in a Seal unit, and when you see his uniform picture, he is wearing JAG insignia, not the Seal Trident.

“I don’t mean to diminish his service, but his being a full-blown Seal is not accurate. I am sure he worked out with them, and is probably an “honorary” Seal, but he is not the Real Deal Seal.

“Have you ever wondered why a Seal unit would need a Jag officer? Seals break things and kill people - they need a lawyer for that?”

I am! Born in Ybor, UF grad and retired a few miles north of Tampa.

[DeSantis is] like a blooming rose in our party. That’s the good news. The bad news is how his opponent came within a whisker of defeating him. That tells you enough about the voters.

It shouldn't tell you enough about the voters, it should tell you enough about the press. The News Misleadia made sure to fail to investigate Gillum, who, when he lost, had these tidbits emerge:

[Gillum], Former Tallahassee Mayor And Gubernatorial Candidate Charged With Conspiracy, Wire Fraud, And Making False Statements

...and...

Police find naked Andrew Gillum, in possession of methamphetamine and in hotel room with overdosed male prostitute.

[Sacajaweau]

Oops...found it.

Grandaughter graduating from Brown this year with a PHD in Bio...blah blah blah and a Masters in something supportive. Real hard working braino

[dadfly]

may God continue protect and advance him and his.

[Rummyfan]

There is no one in the Democrat party or Democrat media axis fit to shine this man’s boots.

Amen to that.

[TexasGator]

“I haven’t read ONE DAM COMMENT FROM YOU FREEPERS...except that he is a native Floridian!
No wonder they call REPUBLICANS the STUPID party.”

Lay off the caffeine ...

[TexasGator]

“Has DeSantis commented yet on the SCOTUS overturning Roe? That’s the biggest thing that’s happened in half a century. While I am sure he’s pro life, what is Florida doing on the issue?”

It is safe for you to come out of your cave ...

[Lazamataz]

A man I know, super-liberal, says he was in Trump's college class. He says he always knew Donald to be a dull knife in the drawer.

My response is succinct: "Who, of the two of you, managed to become President of the United States?"

[OldGoatCPO]

This needs to be corrected by DeSantis or Geller because politically it could be used against him. Even though he did not make the claim he needs to distance himself from it. He was attached to the teams which is something to be proud of in itself.

People who provide technical and administrative support to the Teams are normally heavily vetted. SpecOp in general treat their support staff far better than other elite groups like say pilots. You are treated like part of the team. Non-operators who served with the teams can even join the UDT-SEAL Association.

"With him running in’28"

6 years in the future? What makes you think this Nation will still be here?

[Will88]

Impressive that he managed to navigate all that Ivy League education and come out a common sense conservative.

[Responsibility2nd]

That makes him part of the Swamp. There is no escaping this. He is part of the Swamp.

So? What is your solution? To bring in an outsider? Someone with no political experience?

Guess what? We tried that. And the swamp ate him alive.
