Ron DeSantis IS telling tall tales when he says he doesn't wear lifts, shoemakers reveal: Experts point to all the signs in Florida governor's cowboy boots that he DOES have hidden heels

The 2024 hopeful told podcaster Patrick Bet-David that his cowboy boots were 'just standard, off the rack Lucchese' and that he stood at 5'11''

But a trio of expert shoemakers have come forward to say he is using lifts to make himself look taller.

Politico Magazine on Tuesday gave what had been merely online speculation some legitimacy, with all three boot and shoemakers pointing out how the odd fit of the candidate's boots likely means he's getting a boost.

(comments by 3 boot makers/experts)

DeSantis' spokesman Bryan Griffin did not appreciate Politico Magazine's investigation.

Griffin said. 'The governor doesn't pad his boots,

Many desantis supporters have said 'so what', when the speculation was first brought up....

But if desantis will deliberately lie about something as simple as this...

When won't desantis lie to you?

Most of us lie about what we might be self concious about.

Frank Sinatra wore height increasing shoes. Here is a brief list of others:

Another:
Oscar-winning 5’8” actor Yul Brynner famously insisted that the exceptionally tall (especially for that era) 5’10 Ingrid Bergman walk in a trench next to him.

Not really. He should be more self conscious about wearing those elevator boots. They are obvious and corny looking.

Nothing wrong with being the person you are.

The only problem with this is that RDS looks like an idiot when he tries so hard but makes it so obvious what he’s doing.

What we really need is a huge whale president like Christie, oops he had that bariatric surgery so he is only 400 pounds now. I don’t actually care what kind of shoes Desantis wears.

Every politician lies. Every last one. Anyone who believes that their favorite politician would never lie to them - well, congratulations on your innocence and child-like faith. I don't care if a politician lies to me about shoe lifts or fake boobs or hair extensions or their perfectly natural orange tan. That's personal vanity, and no one should put it past even their family and friends to lie about stuff like that - human beings lie.

I care if they lie to me about matters of policy that decide how I vote for them.

And on that note...

Nobody actually cares about the boots. The boots are simply emblematic of a greater theme:

The entire Desantis operation is a fraud. Desantis is a media creation.

Florida was the most successful state in the country before Ron got there.

Beneath the cheap facade Con inc. made him, he’s still the same little nerd Trump pulled out the halls of congress.

He’s never going to be President.
