If you’re referring to me, I never said they “met” together in a smoke-filled room. But establishment figures to include “Team Ryan” and Kevin McCarthy absolutely are trying to convince Ron DeSantis to run for President and fracture his (Trump’s) base.

Again, I’m not here to defend Trump. I acknowledge what he is. But I am telling there’s nothing “MAGA” about who and what are behind this DeSantis Push. Unless you seriously think Jeb Bush, Big Sugar, Hedge Funds, Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell are MAGA.

I’ll tell everyone what it was right now, though it’s not the smartest fight for REPs to have before a midterm.
When Ron DeSantis is chatting with @kevinomccarthy
and Team Paul Ryan behind the back of the man who made him the governor of Florida, it was bound to happen.

It’s called a shot across the bow and it’s in response to what Trump has been hearing is going on behind his back, which more than a half of dozen donors and scores of sitting congressman have told me is true.

They’ve targeted Ron DeSantis as the stool they believe is their best chance to foil another Trump Presidency and after enough hammering away at him and blowing up his head, there are indications that it is working. But make no mistake, it is a DC establishment plan and is true.
Rich Baris “The People’s Pundit” @Peoples_Pundit
I’ve received at least a half dozen calls from GOP donors who have told me the contents of their conversations AND sitting members of Congress have confirmed it.
@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan have hatched a plan to defeat MAGA in 2024 and Ron DeSantis is the stool.

Sorry if that hurts some of your feelings, but it’s true and those of you most likely to bitch about me saying it don’t know what the Hell you’re talking about.
Again, I didn’t miss anything. Baris (who is very closely aligned with Bannon who is part of Team Trump) clearly admitted “I never said they met together” and that Ryan is “trying to convince DeSantis to run for President.”
That is a far cry from the “Ron DeSantis is a paid off puppet of Paul Ryan” jabber that’s been on here all day as an attempted defense of Trump’s unnecessary insult of DeSantis.
I also think these attacks by Baris on DeSantis over a POTENTIAL alliance with McCarthy simply don’t add up, as there are countless articles news reports on recored about the endless Trump/McCarthy bromance.
If Baris is so worried about McCarthy’s ties to the Deep State, he should obviously be more focused on calling Trump out about HIS incredibly close ties to MCarthy, and Trump’s full endorsement for his re-election, not DeSantis who actually worked against McCarthy in many instances as a leader of the Freedom Caucus.
Your other post now attacking DeSantis for shipping illegals to Martha’s Vineyard is so off base to me it’s laughable. Just like most people laughed at Jared Kushner when he tried to make the same complaint. But, it’s your right to give your opinion, whether most agree with it or not, and I dare say most don’t agree with that one. Thanks.
