Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis backed out of a fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin to attend a Monday memorial service for a member of his security detail who died in the line of duty, sources told The Post.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Special Agent Jose Perez was responding to a call in an unmarked cruiser on Aug. 2 when he was struck by Javier Sandoval, 35, in Miami.

Perez was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries and died on Aug. 20.

Sandoval was later arrested and hit with several charges, including DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide.

The boy who killed him will do serious time. He ruined his life. Might as well kill himself

The innuendo runs deep... IMHO...

A no brainer that goes without saying.

DeSantis bowed out of Lee Zeldin fundraiser to attend a Memorial Service for one of his Security Detail.

No secret-to-be revealed “WHY”, No “$25K-A-PLATE” slams.

unless you are so conditioned to just accept the premise that the secret “Why” and “$25k-a-plate” are relevant and expected.

Because of the clickbait cliffhanger by the Zeldin spokesperson. Desantis will not attend “due to unforseen tragedy.” No further comment.

Let me put on my media whore hat for a minute.

“DeSantis snubs Zeldin as Trump riff grows” - CNN
“DeSantis refuses $25,000 dinner fundraiser after Zeldin appears in Confederate Uniform” - NYT
“DeSantis kicks puppies according to sources familiar with the situation.” - MSNBC

God Speed

They are relevant because there have been plenty of stories in the fake news suggesting DeSantis bowed out of the dinner for other reasons.
New York Post just corrected that.

A spokesperson for Zeldin said DeSantis would return to New York at a later date for an event with the candidate.

DeSantis made the right choice... and he's honoring the earlier commitment too. Good man - great Governor...

"Cannot see why any sane person would even write an article wth this title..."

Well, there's not much goin' on in the country these days, so I guess these 'Journalists' are just bored.

Is the < / sarcasm> tag really necessary?

"What’s the problem?"

The story is fine.
However, the phrasing of the title is carefully constructed to create the image of possible dissension in republican ranks in the minds(?) of about half the reading population who will never read the article itself...
