The Ron DeSantis campaign is in damage control mode following a report exposing the Governor’s relationship with Morteza ‘Mori’ Hosseini, an Iranian donor set to benefit from DeSantis’s $92 million allocation of COVID cash to assist his donor’s land development.
Specifically, DeSantis staffer and now registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw tried to “debunk” the report and defend Hosseini – a man with continued links to far-left Democrats.
“[B]y ‘Iranian,’ they mean an American citizen, of Iranian heritage,” said Pushaw, who previously worked for Mikheil Saakashvili, a Georgian and Ukrainian politician. Hosseini was, in fact, born in Iran, per his own biography.
Pushaw’s tweet coincided with newly created, anonymous DeSantis supporter accounts attacking the report, or replying to it with anti-Trump memes. Many of the accounts were activated only in 2023 or late 2022, with many sporting usernames comprised of only a first name and a series of random numbers – commonly associated with bot activity. Several demanded intervention by Community Notes, the Wikipedia-like “fact-checking” feature on Twitter which the DeSantis camp recently weaponized against their detractors – despite Pushaw trashing fact-checkers in the past.
A “context” note added to the report says the project near Hosseini’s developments dates back many years. This does not change the fact that financial backing from DeSantis has reportedly accelerated the project by “more than a decade”, however. Local campaigners also say DeSantis’s Department of Transportation has “secretly added” a number of expansions to the project, which has ballooned in cost.
“DeSantis staffer and now registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw”
People may want to learn a bit more about this Botox Queen a bit, who is the TOP ADVISOR to DeSantis and was at Zelensky’s Victory Party, among other war-starting assignments in Russia’s backyard. Nearly as bad as Nuland.
Deep State may not have a deep bench, but it does have a YUGE collection of dunce chairs.
It would be a bad idea for DeSantis to “cover up” this. If anything. He should brag about it. “Under my leadership in Florida I moved obstacles and regulations out of the way of job creating projects...” then trot out dozens of other companies and people who expanded their business while he was governor. And as far as distributing COVID money... It was Trump who signed the bills giving away trillions which included so much pork I wish he tossed it in his trashcan. So this is a wash.
THIS PROJECT WAS AN OFFICIAL STATE PROJECT IN 2001!
“It would be a bad idea for DeSantis to “cover up” this.”
This project was planned in 2001. Pubbie is getting more desperate. And he posts again from his favorite anti-DeSantis site.
” however. Local campaigners also say DeSantis’s Department of Transportation has “secretly added” a number of expansions to the project, which has ballooned in cost.”
That would be against state law. Of course the author does not get into specifics since it would undercut his anti-DeSantis agenda.
Looks like FLA has a Swamp too.
And DeGlobalist is in the center of it.

Can't remember whether I just stopped following her or actually blocked her on Twitter. Not only is she dumb, but she is really annoying. And when you hate Trump so much you spit and turn your head around, it's just hard to take.
That’s the thing with DeSantis, he’s like an onion, you peel him back and you just find more and more of it. It’s hard enough to believe that someone like Christina Pushaw even exists, and then she just happens to latch up to DeSantis...weird!
I tried to follow the links to the actual allegation, but it’s Washington ComPost garbage behind a paywall.
National Pulse fails again.
He was given the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 2006. Only American citizens can be given this award. He’s a builder/developer/philanthropist akin to Pres. Trump but with a bachelor’s in aeronautical studies, as well as a master’s in business administration.
