I think DeSantis was basking in the afterglow of Massie from Kentucky throwing his endorsement to him...the same Massie, one of eight RINOs who voted with the Democrats to support a veto of a bill that proposed to reinstate solar panel tariffs on Communist China.
Just let that sink in for a moment.
“Congressman Thomas Massie is a Conservative Warrior for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District! An MIT graduate and a first-rate Defender of the Constitution, Thomas fights hard to Protect your Liberties, especially the First and Second Amendments, which are under siege by the Radical Left. Strong on the Border and our Military and Vets, Thomas Massie has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
