“Well, I think the swan song has been this Russia collusion hoax because they indulged in that for for two years,” DeSantis said to a panel of lawyers and others who said they’re victim of defamation, like Covington Catholic Nicholas Sandmann.
DeSantis, taking the high road, and yet continues to defend Trump while Trump needlessly attacks him.
And this isn't the first time in the past few months either. In November, DeSantis commended Trump for keeping Putin at bay while blaming Putin's attack on Ukraine on Biden for projecting American weakness abroad.
DeSantis has lashed out at the J6 committee calling it "Christmas for Democrats" and an excuse to attack everyone who supported President Trump.
Nice to have an adult in the room.
Mic drop.
Always thought it was kinda weird to attack someone who hasn’t even declared they were gonna run for office.
Sounds like a lot of wasted eneto me.
Yep. Leave that for other Republicans and many Freepers.
Nice to have an adult in the conservative room.
Trump needs to keep his message more positive and talk about how he was turning the country around until Biden was installed.
Trump is breaking the Reagan Rule.
Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment:
“Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.”
Trump gonna Trump...
why are we still getting the vapors over anything Trump says? Some of you crawl out from under a rock?
Trump gonna Trump and DeSantis is an embryonic rino...
...pick your poison.
Let's keep in mind that Ron DeSantis hasn't declared he's running, not that such stops people who continue to just play into the hands of the enemy by persisting in all this acrimony and infighting. The conservative cause would be much better served if they would also cease and desist. Remember Reagan's 11th commandment.
Donald, stop it.
‘I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans’
That’s a pretty nasty thing to say. Catty actually. DeSantis should keep a picture of Romney around to remind him what he does not want to be. A little gravitas goes a long way.
A groomer? Where did THAT come from? I saw the Trmp post from yesterday. It was a cheap shot. Typical of Trump. But I didn't see where Trump stooped to calling RDS a groomer.
This article smacks as left wing drivel. Making lies out of what was said.
Last night, we saw a member of the Deep State Uniparty (DSU) utilize MAGA rhetoric to make his public performance appear to be better and align with patriotic fervor.
Patriots saw it, pointed it out and called it out.
DeSantis, a member of the DSU, is not immune from this critique.
The “magnifying glass” is being used on DeSantis to keep him honest so that \going forward\ his actions continue to mirror his outward rhetoric and any past Deep State errors he made need to be addressed, not swept under the rug.
This time, it isn’t the media critiquing the [assumed] candidate but it is the rightful action of We the People.
Once bitten, twice shy
Y’all remember Ben Sasse, right?
Oh, wait....Ben’s a close friend of Ron DeSantis!
DeSantis needs to be vetted. Better now than later. Get everything out so there are no surprises.
Good, balanced responses all around by Ron.
Shows that he is a reasonable, temperate, thoughtful man, not like his apparent primary opponents.
No, he’s a politician. A pre Trump politician at that and this is how they roll. They take the high road so they look Presidential, while stabbing you behind the scenes and sending their surrogates after you. You might have heard the idea of the VP being the attack dog. That’s how it always was pre Trump. Trump, a real person, is the only one man enough to sign his name to the things he says and does. That makes Trump different and the rest of them...politicians....Kari Lake may have some of that too...time will tell on her.
Ha. He speaks
Not before getting busted for publicly schmoozing some bad actors (see skb late show 2/8) and not before exposure of some weird teacher-he- and many girl students partying
Other repudiated one thing. Rival pres candidates in primary season is another
Apparently many FReepers don’t realize this is political warfare, and it ain’t pretty. I like DeSantis. I really do. He is, however, a politician and, should he be elected, will be held to the same no good, rotten GOP establishment that Trump faced. Those that think DeSantis will do something more magically delicious than Trump are deluding themselves. Trump has a 4 year track record now and we are well aware of how he will handle himself as President. I have no complaints. DeSantis is a noob, and a politician. Although, as I mentioned before, I do like the guy and would like to see him run in ‘28.
Again, no matter what you think the mental state of Trump is it is beyond question that he knows a lot more about DeSantis then we do. It makes ZERO sense to criticize DeSantis UNLESS he plans on running and UNLESS he plans in some way to undo the MAGA movement.
