Casey DeSantis made a bold political fashion statement while on the presidential campaign trail with her husband, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Saturday.
The Sunshine State’s first lady sported a black leather jacket emblazoned with “Where woke goes to die” and an outline of Florida and an alligator on its back at a charity biker rally in Des Moines, Iowa.
The 42-year-old DeSantis wore the blunt outfit that pays homage to one of her husband’s key campaign promises — to end “woke” ideology.
Ron DeSantis, 44, reiterated his commitment in a speech to his supporters at the event, where he also signed Bibles and hats.
“We will wage war on the woke,” DeSantis said. “We will fight the woke in education; we will fight the woke in corporations; we will fight in the halls of Congress.
“We will never ever surrender to the woke mob,” he added. Florida Gov. DeSantis joined eight other GOP candidates at Sen. Joni Ernst’s annual motorcycle-themed fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
Other Republican candidates in attendance included former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, while former President Trump was notably absent.
DeSantis’ war on “wokeness” has been raging for years and includes a legislative proposal he announced for the Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees, or Stop W.O.K.E, act, in December 2021.***

Does anyone have Ron’s campaign rally schedule? I thought he’d have a big rally event to kick off his campaign, but that never happened. Seems a bit odd.
Love it!
DeSantis and Vivek are fighting the woke mind virus.
“Where WOKE goes to DIE” is original. Unlike MAGA which even the Clintons used at one point, look it up.
As far as your poll, “Big Data” is run by Richard Baris, a weekly regular on Steve Bannon’s show who is about as objective as Donald Trump himself.
Gimme a break.
Neither Trump nor DeSantis have any events scheduled as per their websites.
DeSantis’ speech at the Joni Ernst’s annual Roast and Ride event could have been considered his announcement speech.

I love it!
Not shocked. Trump and his wife are liberal when dealing with social issues especially homosexuality.
Trump even touted his liberal daughter as a future Presidential candidate.
Lord Fauci supporter Trump.
...or best Conservative Governor in the nation who won by nearly 20 percent in a competitive state. Seriously, Trump couldn’t beat Biden hiding in his basement.
I love it!
True.
Class lasts it’s good to be good.
I like Melania. Can’t stand Casey Barbie and her aggressiveness. Casey wears the britches, Ron obeys or gets stitches.
Rhonda Santis is a kept man who does what he is told by Jill. Just like Biden. They married their handlers.
