Ron DeSantis Defends Kayleigh McEnany From Trump's Attack
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 2 Jun 23 | Matthew Impelli

Posted on 06/03/2023 3:45:59 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

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."

True. It worked for him when he attached his Primary opponents in 2016. But Kayleigh isn’t an opponent, and it isn’t 2016.

We all know he can do the job because he’s done it. He should be confident in that knowledge. He can afford to tamp it down about 50%.

“really really bad.”

Who talks like this, except for Trump and the guy that wants to take his voters?

>>>I guess you can call me a “Trump Spammer” since I will only vote for Trump next year. Regardless of whom is the Uniparty nominee. We still have a ‘Write in’ line on our ballots.>>>>

And you and your ilk will be the reason we will get another Biden term. Just like the Perot folks gave us Clinton. Good going.....Trump will go scorched earth anyways as 3rd party. You spammers will get your guy on a ticket. It’s 92 all over again. Perot, Bush, Clinton. And Clinton it was and Biden it will be. Thanks to the Team Spammer.

“DeSantis will destroy Biden in the General. He’s likeable, he’s off the charts smart, articulate, class, and he’s a true conservative declaring war on woke.”

Yesterday, Dan Bongino had a segment on you bots. But you’ve got to do better composing your posts, and you should speak to your programmers about that. A bit of comedy is fine, but when posts are hilarious you lose credibility.

Articulate. Destroy Biden. Likeable. 😆

Trump going after McEnany like that was a bad mistake. He should have been much more polite, even instructive in his wording and demeanor. McEnany works for DEI/ESG company so they have to do and say very unpleasant things that are simply not true.

Such is corporate America today. I imagine most of these companies will commit Seppeku or Harakiri. Sad, because at one time they were vibrant and good for America.

Right off the bat he went after the right people. Now, he goes after anyone, even friends. so thin skinned. Pathetic. At root of it....Narcissism. All the traits.

I don’t even think there were Reagan spammers .”

Where/how would they spam in the early to mid ‘80s?

See, we didn’t worship Reagan. There was no cult. We just liked him and admired him.

“I’m no fan of Hannity, but, he’s right, Trump needs to stop this childish, useless behavior.”

When Hannity stops saying that the majority of eff-bee-eye people are noble and honorable I might pay attention to him.

Ron the con is not a likeable person. He is stiff and cold and has no personality. He isn’t moving the needle in polls and will be the 2024 version of Jeb Bush.

Maybe. Even if he doesn't, I don't see DeSantis getting more than 60 million votes. I might even vote RDS in the primary, but a lot of people are solidly Trump and will sit out the election if he's not the candidate.

These are the facts on the ground. I don't like them, but one has to face reality. You and I can't make people like or vote for Florida's great governor.

Optimally, Trump could have decided against a 2024 run, or DeSantis could have waited until 2028. But here we are. Pissing and moaning about it for the next year and a half.

They want DeSantis as President. And it would not be terrible. The dems know he would bring back America first policies like Trump but because DeSantis is a politician so they can continue doing regular business. I think at this point Trump will still beat DeSantis at this point. It’s why they are going after Trump with all these bs charges. Slowly pushing his supporters to DeSantis. My guess is if DeSatis gets the nod to run they won’t try to steal it. Just my opinion. I would rather have Trump myself.

Do you think maybe that Trump might be gun-shy about FOX news employees? Remember Wallace? Remember Stirewalt? Remember Mishkin? IMHO FOX ruins otherwise good people, possibly McEnneny included...

“...he needs to grow up, fast, or he’ll be losing again in 24.”

Losing again??? You must be as cognitively challenged as Biden to believe the idiot got 81 million votes.
