DeSantis says Romney 'never fought for us.' An unearthed yearbook photo shows he once campaigned for him
ABC News ^ | November 14, 2023 | Olivia Rubin

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday took aim at fellow Republican Mitt Romney, painting the outgoing senator as a member of the "surrender caucus of Republicans" who "never fought for us in the beginning."

"I don't really know Mitt Romney," DeSantis said in response to a question about a Romney-backed gathering of presidential candidates last month.

But a black-and-white photograph from DeSantis' Harvard Law School yearbook unearthed by ABC News indicates that at one point, DeSantis campaigned on Romney's behalf.

The image shows the cheerful-looking law student wielding a "Romney for Governor'' sign during the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign -- an election Romney handily won, launching his political career.

Romney was THE Republican Party’s nominee for President. Practically all Republicans voted for the guy… before he revealed what a total loser RINO he is.

Nothing burger.

I’m sorry that even at this late stage you still can’t see what an establishment puppet Ron DeSantis truly is.

Wow - so hilarious that when someone was very young they looked very young.

Something to make you laugh so hard you can hardly keep your breath...

You dont seem to get it. DeSantis campaigned for Romney. So what!! No big deal. But if DeSantis is dishonest about the little stuff...is he dishonest about the big stuff? That’s the question.

And what exactly is he dishonest about in this instance? I campaigned for Republican candidates when I was in college too - and I met very few of them - let alone got to know them. So if I claimed I "don't really know" one of them, I'm lying, because there may be an old picture of me holding a sign for their campaign?

Don’t forget he also said he believed Romney lost because he was too tough on immigration.

Indeed - what's more important was the type of footwear he was wearing back then.

True, but it isn’t my job to tell them who to vote for. You think I don’t get insulted too? I push back like most people do.

Trump gave $100k+ to Hillary Clinton. After partying with Al Sharpton among other lowlives.
A small price to pay for becoming a billionaire.

Some people (you) are too stupid to know what it takes to be successful in business.

BTW: Trump accomplished more for America in one 4yr term than any President in your lifetime.

Whatever. You’re in the minority here. Go down with the rest of the establishment conservatives. That’s your choice! No one is stopping you.
