Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a canned response when asked any question related to the events of January 6, 2021: It’s time to move on. On the campaign trail, DeSantis often claims that January 6 will be a losing issue in the general election. The governor repeated that warning at the debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, insisting the 2024 election “is not about January 6 of 2021, it’s about January 20 of 2025.” DeSantis has neatly sidestepped the matter of January 6 since announcing his run for president, entirely avoiding any mention of the date until recently.

EXCLUSIVE new statement from @MAGAIncWarRoom spox @kleavittnh : “Ron DeSantis has already delivered a political hat trick today and it’s not even lunch time. The only problem? All three goals were scored on himself. His New Hampshire campaign free fall has left him tied with Chris Christie in single digits, he fired his campaign manager after singing her praises at a recent event, and the FEC sent a notice to the DeSantis campaign that it improperly designated $2.6 million of donations as primary funds. That means that DeSantis actually started the quarter with $6.4 million to spend on the primary...

Team DeSantis seems to have an aversion to the truth.Ron DeSantis told Jesse Watters some extraordinary lies on Fox News Thursday night. This fact comes as no surprise as Paul Ryan has turned Fox News into a defacto DeSantis Super PAC.Watters asked DeSantis about his disloyalty to Trump, and DeSantis responded with, “Disloyal to who? Politicians have to EARN support. They’re not entitled to support. I did a lot for him in 2016 and 2020 by the way.”Receipts prove this is not the case. In 2016 DeSantis issued a statement, not an endorsement, after Trump secured the delegates to become...

DeSantis's campaign tweeted a video to mark the end of Pride month: 'Let's hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…' Ron DeSantis's campaign has been accused of homophobia after it tweeted a video highlighting Donald Trump's support of the LGBTQ community, and contrasted it with a bizarre montage of DeSantis's policies. The DeSantis advert, after footage of Trump, then cuts to a montage of DeSantis striding in a 'manly' fashion across the screen, to a thumping, bass-heavy soundtrack. The video comes as DeSantis's polling remains stubbornly low, with Trump significantly ahead among primary...

237 Comments CTH has said for a year the Achilles heel Ron DeSantis carries, the weak spot that outlines his neocon nature, becomes extremely visible on the subject of Ukraine. Twice previously, DeSantis has tried to walk the tightrope and navigate his lies surrounding the Ukraine war. Each time he outlines something that leans toward Ukraine needing to concede to Russia and NATO needing to stop meddling on Russia borders, he immediately walks back his comments. DeSantis is stuck on the issue of Ukraine because DeSantis cannot be honest about his position on Ukraine. Today in South Carolina [Forbes got...

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida all but declared his presidential candidacy on Thursday afternoon, telling donors and supporters on a call that only three “credible” candidates were in the race and that only he would be able to win both the Republican primary and the general election. “You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” Mr. DeSantis told donors on the call, organized by the super PAC supporting him, Never Back Down. “Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and...

Trump-backed Kentucky gubernatorial candidate Daniel Cameron, who won the Republican primary in Tuesday night’s race, made it clear after his victory that the “Trump culture of winning is alive and well” in his state.“Of course, a big thank you to President Donald J. Trump for his support and his endorsement of this campaign,” Cameron said before adding, “Let me just say: The Trump culture of winning is alive and well in Kentucky.”🚨 Kentucky GOP gubernatorial nominee Daniel Cameron thanks Donald Trump for his support “The Trump culture of winning is alive and well in Kentucky” pic.twitter.com/AsueGC4Xlp— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) May...

President Donald Trump eviscerated Governor Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., in his ongoing battle against Disney and its Magic Kingdom in Orlando. “Ron DeSanctimonious totally caved in his public relations inspired battle with Disney,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. “That’s the only reason he went after them in the first place, to show Mr. Tough Guy. Disney maintained complete exemption from property & sales tax, tax-free bonds, and their incredible fast track permitting.”As reported by RSBN, Gov. DeSantis recently signed legislation in February (HB 9B) that ended Walt Disney World’s self-governing status by terminating the corporate kingdom’s special privileges in...

What I am describing above is what the background battle, within the state of Florida, around Ron DeSantis, is all about. The Bush clan have wrapped their arms around Governor Ron DeSantis as a 2024 weapon to counteract the MAGA movement. They have poured hundreds of millions into the “acceptable Republican” effort and are in full control of the DeSantis campaign management. The Mitt Romney’s, Mitch McConnell’s, Paul Ryan’s, Kevin McCarthy’s etc are trying to leverage the club dynamic over Ron DeSantis and provide enticements to maintain the alliance with their internal battle plan to retain full control over the...

Former president Donald Trump boasted on Saturday that he’s polling way above “Ron DeSanctimonious” for the GOP 2024 presidential nomination, in an early taste of the rivalry that’s widely expected to develop after next week’s midterms. Trump at 71, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10 percent, Mike Pence at 7 percent . . . Oh, Mike’s doing better than I thought,” Trump told a crowd of supporters at a rally in Latrobe, Pa., for Republican Senate and gubernatorial candidates Dr. Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano. The fact that Trump assigned the governor of Florida a derogatory nickname is a telltale sign that...
