A lobbyist for vaccine manufacturer Moderna and for the maker of a leading puberty blocker given to transgender children is holding a fundraising event for Ron DeSantis in Washington D.C. this month.
It puts the Florida governor in an awkward position as he tries to ride anti-vaxxer sentiment and his record restricting gender-affirming treatment all the way to the White House.
The controversy stems from an event to be held at the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, D.C.'s biggest federal lobbying firm, on June 23. DeSantis supporters can buy a place with a $1,000 donation, according to an invitation obtained by DailyMail.com.
One of the hosts is Marc Lampkin, a partner at the firm, who has been on the wrong side of a host of DeSantis or Republican red button issues.
It's no surprise Ron DeSanctimonious would do a fundraiser with a lobbyist for a Chinese semiconductor company considering his globalist masters at the Club for No Growth have a China First trade policy,' he said
'DeSanctus' hypocrisy surrounding the COVID vaccine, and his willingness to accept money from a representative of a company manufacturing puberty blockers, also show that DeSanctus is willing to sell out for anything if the price is right.'

WOW: A lobbyist for vaccine manufacturer Moderna and for the maker of a leading puberty blocker given to transgender children is holding a fundraising event for Ron DeSantis in Washington D.C. this month! https://t.co/2z1MP9isSv— Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) June 6, 2023
The firm of Brownstein,Hyatt, et.al. has over 317 clients per 2021 records. Among their clients are,
Marriot International
White Mountain Apache Tribe
National Electric Contractors Assoc
American Petroleum Institute.
Coalition for Business Development.
FedEx.
I would be more concerned with their lobbying on behalf of Dominion Voting Systems.
They are also a major law firm.
The implication that DeSantis is corrupt because 1 of the 317 clients the firm lobbys for is involved in manufacturing two products (or the result fro those products) that DeSantis has spoken against is ludicrous. Is the suggestion that DeSantis will now support puberty blockers and mandatory vaccines?
Starting? It’s been reported (while he was still denying he was campaigning for president) that Ron’s been sucking up whatever $ he could get from similar types, so this isnt new news. Ron is a selfish man, just like christie.
heh
You do know that Marc Lampkin was heavily involved in helping Trump cut regulations?
Moderna is just a client of Lampkin’s, not his employer. His firm represents a vast array of companies across many industries.
In 2018, Lampkin was asked:
How is the Trump presidency going?
“Despite all the mainstream media hysteria, the Trump presidency, from a number of perspectives, is going extremely well. We’ve had a record-breaking run up of the stock market, passed a historic tax bill that is fueling economic growth, higher income for workers and increased business investment. In addition, the Trump team has repealed numerous, redundant, onerous regulations turning back the tide of eight years of overreach by the federal government. All of which combined to push the economy to a 3-plus percent growth and beyond. So many great things happening.”

The Trump cultists, once again, play a game of “gotcha” with someone who was previously involved with Trump’s presidency.
More egg on the faces of creepy Trump cultists!!!!
lol....
desantis supporters what to fool everyone into thinking people still represent the interest of their prior clients and campaigns....
When they now work or are associated with doing things for desantis.
What a bunch of bull cr*p pushers
ack... typo. should be
desantis supporters want to fool everyone
I don’t know, but it should worry you greatly who he is betraying Trump for.
Dispute my post or STFU. I posted FACTS.
The same guy that you use to impugn DeSantis, worked with Trump in the past.
You are a JOKE
----
I know you lie about things, because you lied about me here
And when I said I hadn't, you wouldn't acknowledge you lied, nor would you post the proof I did.
I think candidates do get to keep left-over campaign money. It’s the only thing that makes sense when so many losers are jumping in against Trump. They know they have no chance.
You creepy Trump cultists are so funny.....nobody said it was evil for Trump to have this guy advising him on how to cut regulations.
You non-thinkers want to play this game of "guilt by association" yet every person you associate with DeSantis was once associated with Trump.
Nah, just another sign that DeJeb is completely owned by his Establishment backers - ie in the pocket of big pharma and of China both of which he claims to be against.

I posted where you deliberately lied in 31.
And you again refuse to acknowledge you did so.
You claim you post facts, but all you've done is lie about things, and avoid backing up stuff when confronted.
What does this article have to do with Trump?
Because this "bad man" that is a DeSantis fundraiser worked with Trump on cutting regulations.
So if it is a smear on DeSantis, then it should be a smear on Trump, right?
If you want to smear DeSantis with association, then if that same person associated with Trump, then he is smeared also.
Nope. You associate Rove with DeSantis. I proved there is ZERO association between them.
You can deny it forever. But I posted the TRUTH and you just don't like it.
