DeSantis slams ‘Soros-funded’ Manhattan DA for ‘weaponizing the office’ as Trump rumors swirl
FOX News ^ | 03202023 | Brooke Singman

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Monday as a "Soros-funded prosecutor" who is "pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office" as he reportedly considers indicting former President Donald Trump on charges related to alleged hush-money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

"And so you're talking about this situation with, and like, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair — I just I can't speak to that," DeSantis said.

"But what I can speak to is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush-money payments, you know, that's an example of pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office," DeSantis said. "And I think that that's fundamentally wrong."

President Trump has held his tongue with DeSanctis for a long time now, despite knowing Everything about the groomer.

I'm not surprised to see President Trump hitting him hard with this early- it's a topic that matters to Trump. No doubt seeing his own daughter sexualized constantly installed his aversion to groomers. He even expelled one of the most powerful men in the country from his club after he discovered his affection for young women.

Nothing this guy does isn’t poll tested and calculated. This was put into his mouth by someone. It’s obvious

All it would have taken was DeSantis living up to his end of the endorsement deal. That’s it.

Lol .

I already stated that .
On Sat , Trump purposely spread misinformation about getting Indicted on Tuesday to Fund Raise off the poor suckers who believed the fake story .
Trump knew there were still a witness on Monday and NO Indictment was Possible on Tuesday.

Trump spread the false rumor to cash in .
Trump already admitted to paying hush money and expensed it

He already admitted to the 130,000 in Hush money pay off to a Porn star .

Melania Trump left him over it .

Read the Daily Mail headline .

Enjoy .

Trump hasn’t held squat. He runs his foul mouth all the time. I expect name calling and other such “childish behavior” from the peanut gallery (us), but I want my leader to have some dignity and professionalism. Don’t get me wrong, if he wins the nomination, then of course I’ll vote for him. There’s no way I’m voting for Slow Joe or Gruesome Newsom.
DeSantis won’t announce until either Florida changes the law requiring him to resign first, or until Trump is indicted with a real charge (not this phony crap in NY).
Ya’ll need to stop getting your panties in a wad, and be happy that we actually have TWO decent candidates to pick from.

He’s actually not running for president. Trump is just giving him a campaign. Trump and the left wing are working together to take him out. Actually, they are trying to take out anyone to the right of McConnell and just be a RINO party.

Trump is the one who played nasty with DeSantis first.

I believe the first thing that happened was Senate candidate O'Dea(RINO) trashing Trump on CNN and then DeSantis' endorsing O'Dea several days later.

Yes, the man who wrote books bragging about knowingly having affairs with married women and walking into women’s locker rooms.

And it also misstates what the money was paid for— and through whom it was paid and a whole lot else.

Using the words “hush money” is the GOPe helping the dem machine at work once again. “Hush money” is the code phrase. And, it ID’s DeSantis as the Bushies behind him only can. Terrible thing to happen to DeSantis who did himself no good saying things this way.

“ He’s actually not running for president.”

Now that’s just comedy

Ron the Pawn will announce this summer. If, that is, he survives reality... that he is no POTUS 45. A copy of Trump at the state level, albeit an important state.

A forceful political whiz bang in Florida and clean as possibly white sidewalls, does he know his donor universe would be having none of that, in the Oval Office?

None of that “America First” business. It interferes with who owns them, the RINOS, and other low IQ wannabees, on the make.

POTUS 45 is owed a little justice. His challengers prefer self-dipping, not justice, would let Trump swing, climb on their own mother for a lift, and be happy about doing so.

Trump never mandated the Vax.
The bump stock ban is meaningless.
