Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad."
"Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday.
DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer, she's an absolute killer, and she ate the press alive, and so for him [Trump] to be attacking her, I thought that was really, really bad."

Anything can happen between now and the nominating conventions of August of next year so it’s probably good to have a broad swathe of candidates declaring and trying to hang in there against the early favorite.
“Hannity ... had a town hall ... and ... told Trump to knock it off.”
He did. Hannity got booed loudly, and the attendees shouted, “We love Trump!”
True, true! See One Guy’s #121.
McEneny was a big Paul Ryan fan who trashed Trump in 2015 on CNN. Kayleigh did a great job for Trump when she worked for Tump, but now she's back home working for the Paul Ryan network, who's owner wants to make Trump a non-person.
So which version of Kayleigh do we believe. The Paul Ryan, anti Trump version, or the one who represented Trump very well.
There's no "expiration date" on extreme flip-flopping, Kayleigh.
“And you and your ilk will be the reason we will get another Biden term.”
Thank you for getting back with such a civil answer.
Apparently you are a loyal died in the wool Republican.
I am not. I am a MAGA American.
She’s back home working for the Paul Ryan network.
And let it be known all the democrats and Rinos are scared to death Trump will return to office he now has all the names for a clean up operation.
Their Marxist plans are at high risk as liberty nears.
And which version of Trump are we going to get? The one who was President or the one now defending pedophiles and groomers?
Remember Trump donated to Kamala Harris at one time..
It seems as though someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, or are you always a foul-mouthed grouch? But I do appreciate you showing your true colors when sharing that you are a DeSantis supporter. You fit right in as an elitist Bushie. I don't have to back it up anything you bonehead... it is common knowledge.
Here is one from Jeb who can be considered as a proxy for the rest of our deep state Demopublican stooges. They are mostly trying to keep quiet about their enthusiastic support to keep from offending Trump supporters who they fear will stay home if by some miracle the lawfare campaign against him succeeds.:

And here is an interesting piece by Jamelle Bouie to sum things up.

Certainly not your made up version of Trump.
Yeah he said that after he got called out for defending them..Nice try.
Trump didn't defend pedophiia and grooming. He's criticized how DeSantis has handled the situation and how DeSantis has failed to get results..
“Pathetic. At root of it....Narcissism. All the traits.”
Bingo.
Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration.
Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment.
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements.
Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are.
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people.
Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important.
Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them.
Take advantage of others to get what they want.
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
Be envious of others and believe others envy them.
Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited.
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office.
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can:
Become impatient or angry when they don’t receive special recognition or treatment.
Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted.
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior.
Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior.
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change.
Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail.
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection.
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure.
“Ron the con is not a likeable person. He is stiff and cold and has no personality.”
He is laser focused on the issues and not on being a showman, celebrity or bragard. This is not a Mr America popularity contest.
“This is not a Mr America popularity contest.”
Actually, it sort-of is. As of the televised Nixon-Kennedy debate in 1960.
But I’d vote for him in a heartbeat
‘“This is not a Mr America popularity contest.”
Actually, it sort-of is. As of the televised Nixon-Kennedy debate in 1960.’
It is not the Westminster Dog Show, it is about issues which are putting our nation at risk.
And all the people said.....Amen.
