Gov. Ron DeSantis came out swinging Monday against allegations that first lady Casey DeSantis’ charitable initiative, Hope Florida, funneled taxpayer money for political purposes.
The DeSantis administration is accused of steering $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to Hope Florida.
Shortly after that disbursement, Hope Florida sent $5 million each to two separate not-for-profit organizations, Secure Florida’s Future, run by the Chamber of Commerce and Save our Society from Drugs, according to reporting from the Tampa Bay Times.

Desanctimonious has somehow made working with hope florida a part of the state government medicaid system

(AHCA) The agency, which oversees most of the Medicaid program, has made participation in Hope Florida a contractual requirement for insurance companies that provide managed care coverage

SOP. Bring receipts.
Smells like Money Laundering!
I deny the allegations. And the alligators.
The only “Hope” with DeSantis, is the hope his wife can become Governor.
So, is that it, Ron? The donations were lawful because they went to a good cause, his wife’s charity? For Casey DeSantis, running for governor will now be like trying to run a marathon carrying an 80 pound sack of concrete.
Our family supports Byron Donalds.
Charity foundations have always been a cash cow for Democrats. Look at how DOGE exposed USAID and other crooked schemes used by Obaana, Biden, Hillary and most members of Congress.
Now look at Ron and Casey’s finances. Are they millionaires? Can anyone find where they personally profited?
If yes, then proceed with the investigation.
If no, then shut up.
DeSantis doing a excellent job, posting hit pieces will not change the fact he is one of the best
DeSantis bank accounts rise: net worth tops $1.77 million
It seems in 2018 his estimated net worth was $54,001. Today it appears net worth about 1.75 million.
I have no idea how accurate this is.
Our local conservative FL talk radio station made this the entire subject today.
They were saying HOPE Florida was a Casey DeSantis pet project and that Casey has intents to run for Governor in 2026.
I have not had time to follow this kerfuffle closely, but Casey as FL GOV is a non-starter for this FL resident.
If true (if the media isn’t lying) then yeah. This could be a red flag.
But 1.75 million ain’t all that anymore.
Well, he got away with breaking mccain feingold regulation s in laundering $83 million in state level campaign funds, into his presidential campaign....
And there's plenty of documentation, the money was transfered on the FEC site....
And this isn't a hit piece.... because it's true what it is detailing, happened.
I have not had time to follow this kerfuffle closely, but Casey as FL GOV is a non-starter for this FL resident.

I don’t get the anti-Casey sentiment. Casey would simply be a figure head with Ron really in charge.
If Floridians like Ron, then why not keep him in power?
Thank God they could not convince Mooch to run. She could have won with all America knowing Barack would also be the power behind the throne.
But Mooch hates America too much to do that.
At least you spelled laundering correctly. 🙃
If you spent more time attacking liberals and dimwits instead of conservatives republicans you might feel better about yourself at the end of the day
“I don’t get the anti-Casey sentiment. Casey would simply be a figure head with Ron really in charge.”
