Team DeSantis Spreads Misinformation about Trump Crowds in Iowa on Twitter

Team DeSantis is apparently embracing gutter tactics as their situation grows more desperate.
One of Ron DeSantis’ top advisors John Cardillo, spread misinformation about a Trump crowd size in Iowa. Cardillo tweeted a video of Trump at a radio station in Iowa and claimed it was an open campaign event. Thousands have seen the video and as of now, Twitter has not applied community notes to Cardillo’s video leading many to question if Elon Musk and Twitter’s new globalist CEO are turning the platform into a defacto pro-DeSantis Super Pac.
Cardillo tweeted the inaccurate video with an erroneous caption that read, “Six or seven people showed up to meet Trump at this Iowa venue. People are over him. The push polls are WAY off.”
However, if someone watches the video, one can clearly tell that a WHO radio sign is right behind Trump’s head, clearly indicating that Trump is at a radio station and not a campaign rally.
A Trump campaign press release from earlier this week said Trump would be conducting an interview with WHO radio in Iowa, “President Trump will appear in-studio with Simon Conway of 1040 WHO Des Moines for an interview.”
Twitter has yet to apply community notes to Cardillo’s tweet. Some are questioning if this points to the fact that Elon Musk and Twitter’s new globalist CEO are backing DeSantis and using the social media platform as a defacto DeSantis Super Pac. Trump supporters have been complaining that their feeds are filled with DeSantis influencers despite the fact that these Trump supporters do not follow anyone on Team DeSantis.
This is not the first time Team DeSantis has lied to GOP voters. National File previously reported on National Weather Service data that confirmed there was a tornado outbreak in the Des Monies Iowa region on the date Trump was to have his rally. Team DeSantis recently stated that Trump canceled his April Iowa rally due to crowd size and there were no tornados in the region.
DeSantis is attempting to pitch himself as a stand-up guy to GOP voters. However, actions like Cardillo’s are allowing GOP voters to see right through Team DeSantis’ globalist lies. Many believe this is why DeSantis poll numbers have plummeted.
The Iowa Caucus kicks off in early 2024.

Dirty tricks in politics?
This could be the first time this was ever tried.
I’m disgusted frankly.

If the “New” twitter is going to be interfering in elections then Tucker better stay clear of them.

Looks like a replay of the Cruz campaign. The same kind of tactics that eventually turned so many people off to him.

This kind of an attack is just foolish, to the point of ineptitude on the part of the DeSantis campaign. Competing with Trump over crowd size will never be a winning issue for DeSantis. They just look foolish and dishonest when they try. They will never be able to outdraw Trump.

It seems the whole desantis campaign is going to be built on lies....
And pushed by the desantis supporters that seem to be taking talking points and pushing them on FR....
Starting with how they label Trump supporters as Trump cultist who do nothing but spread lies about desantis
But they themselves lie about things, and won't admit it, even when confronted.

Pretty mild since Trump is now complimenting grandma-killer Cuomo to attack DeSantis.

Since when is Cordillo on Team DiSantos? He was a Roger Stone guy when Stone was on Team Trump. Judging from his content, he’s no longer Team Trump, but I see no evidence that he is Team DiSantos.

Well considering the Trump Team was spreading disinformation about the Desantis campaign, claiming their bus was broken down and was another sign of a failing campaign (when it was obvious they were unloading luggage at a hotel), I don’t think Trump or his supporters have any room to complain.

Too many people lie in order to trash DeSantis.
Yet another attempt to destroy DeSantis, by lying about him.
Pathetic.

I want to remind everyone that the primaries are the place for candidates to sharpen their claws and thicken their sin.
I don't pay much attention to the sparing .... it's a necessary warm up for the main card.
You have to be able to take any hit your opponent throws, the harder you spar the better you fight ... I say kick back and enjoy the warm up. We have a long way to go before the main event.

Like the lie that Cuomo did better than DeSantis during COVID?
Praising Cuomo and Abrams! Really sad.

John Cardillo is not [yet] a “top advisor to Ron DeSantis.”

Many of the old 2015 CruzBots have resurfaced as Meatball Supporters.
They were Anti-Trump back then and are still Anti-Trump Today.
