Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has been putting Democrats and the corporate press on defense by refusing to play along with what she says are partisan narratives.
Pushaw has garnered national attention for her active and sometimes aggressive interactions with journalists. Her strategy may serve as a playbook for conservatives who are ready to reject the media’s framing and communicate with the public on their own terms.
The media’s interest in Pushaw is a product of their obsession with DeSantis, Pushaw told the DCNF, which began in 2020 when Florida opened schools and businesses earlier than other states and became subject to constant media criticism. DeSantis largely ignored his media detractors, and Pushaw’s strategy mirrors her boss’s: she doesn’t play along with the media’s framing of an issue if it’s misleading or overtly partisan, and she uses her platform on Twitter to cut past the spin and communicate with people directly, she explained.
“That was one thing, I think, that really set off media activists, because they are not used to us conservatives using their tactics against them,” she said. “Why should we accept their framing and defend ourselves from these completely ridiculous and absurd accusations when the main issue is that Democrats are lobbying against a bill that just protects kids from gender indoctrination in kindergarten?”
Pushaw, a California native, began working for DeSantis in May 2021 after working for several years at conservative and libertarian-leaning organizations.
Criticisms of Pushaw generally focus on her aggressive approach to Twitter, such as the 2,000-word article complaining about her tweets published in The Washington Post July 27.

As the Mandalorian says, “This is the way.”
Assume any and all reporters, anchors, talking heads and journalists are democrats FIRST.
Then reply as if you are a POW talking to an enemy interrogator, as that is the closet analogy.
They were shown the way by a guy from Queens. He dominated them.
One tweet, one comment on his way to Marine 1 or getting into The Beast and he sent the world into a tizzy and forced a topic, that they wanted to keep quiet, onto the front page. And f the narrative needed to be shifted, nudged, a simple tweet redirected things.
As I have said before: “No one has ever won a war playing only Defense”
“...It has come to my attention that some liberal media activists are mad because they aren’t allowed into #SunshineSummit this weekend. My message to them is to try crying about it. Then go to kickboxing and have a margarita. And write the same hit piece you were gonna write anyway..”

Christina, will you marry me?
Easy on the eyes. Looks like she’s had some work done.
America doesn’t have a “media’ anymore. The crap we’re seeing is the DNC’s Propaganda Squawd Toads.
Looks like had a ton of work done. She’s a fake face now just like Meg Ryan. Why can’t people be happy with what God gives them?

Good post. The article was worth the read.
Hear, Hear
WTF is wrong with you? Who cares what she’s had done? She’s a fighter and she’s on OUR side taking it right to the heart of the enemy.
And you’re whining about whether or not she’s has any cosmetic surgery.
People like you are why we lose.
Get a frigging grip.

We can't fix the mess this country is in by being nice. We are way past that point. Its time to step it up against these bullies.
That’s awesome!
Christina Pushaw is punching the bully in the nose. This needs to be done repeatedly.
I hope this isn't a frag attempt by "mainstream" Republicans to try to take out "Trump Lite" by using the same method of taking out the people who support him, if they can't take DeSantis out directly.
If nothing else, this article puts a target on her back for future scrutiny.

The media is already gearing up to trash De Santis. They know he’s a real threat to their stranglehold on power, and have begun painting a false picture to present to a brain-dead public. Just as they did with Trump.
Suddenly De Santis will be presented as racist/sexist/homophobe/trannyphobe and as hating animals. It has already started with the ugly washed up matrons on The View.

yes
assistant democrat liz “little dick” cheney has already chimed in that DeSantis is “dangerous”
