Hit Piece on Casey DeSantis Drops, Roger Stone Involved
RedState ^ | May 19, 2023 | Bonchie

Posted on 05/19/2023 6:09:11 PM PDT by chickenlips

As has been long predicted, the first of many hit pieces on Casey DeSantis, the wife of Ron DeSantis, has dropped. Politico did the honors on Friday, attacking the recent cancer survivor as too involved in her husband’s life, citing numerous anonymous sources and some non-anonymous ones who really should have been.

The big bombshell in the story can be summarized as follows: Ron and Casey DeSantis have a good marriage, and they also support each other in their endeavors.

I know, it’s shocking stuff, but Politico did its level best to try to turn Casey DeSantis into an ominous figure. I guess you have to give them credit for the effort, I guess.

For some time now she’s been seen mostly and by many as an absolute superstar of a political spouse, a not so “secret weapon,” even something like his saving grace — an antidote for her sometimes awkward husband, social in a way that he is not, charismatic in a way that he is not, generally and seemingly at ease in the spotlight in a way that he so often and so evidently is not. A telegenic former television personality, a breast cancer survivor and a mother of three young kids, Casey, 42, has a sort of policy portfolio of her own that ranges from hurricane recovery to issues of mental health.

I’m not saying he is gay.
I’m saying that gay assault charges will come out.
And likely far worse.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is any truth to it or if it is CIA created.
It or worse will come out.

2024 will be worse than 2020 if Trump wins, he’s completely lost the surburban white women

Do you think the charges will come out in the same sleezy manner by the same slanderous source as the accusations that Ted Cruz’s dad, Raphael Cruz, was involved in the JFK assassination?

“Rove works for Trump. He was one of his campaign managers in 2020.”

No. Have you been under a rock?

Rove works for Trump. He was one of his campaign managers in 2020.

----

Another deliberate lie by a desantis supporter....which was debunked by Rove himself.

Former White House strategist Karl Rove pushed back Friday at reports that said he is advising the Trump campaign, but said he does give “unvarnished advice” to Trump’s campaign when it contacts him.

Rove said he is friends with Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, and that Parscale calls him from time to time.

“The idea that I’m somehow deeply engrained in the Trump campaign … I’ve got a busy life with Fox and Wall Street Journal and speeches,” added Rove, a political contributor to Fox News and a columnist for the Journal.

When Benson asked if it would be fair to say he was “occasionally informally advising the Trump campaign,” Rove responded, “I think that’s even too far.” “Occasionally he’s even kind enough to call me and say ‘what do you think about this,’ so — and I’m happy to give him my unvarnished advice and he can do with it what he will,” he added.

But this seems to be the norm for the group of vocal desantis supporters/likely past nevertrumpers.

Oh for heavens sake it was not a hit piece and it didn’t make Casey look bad. If the DeSantis crew are this sensitive perhaps they just aren’t cut out for todays politics.

No, have you? There was no evidence that all those people supported Trump. It just mysteriously was fed to blogs when it would be convenient for Trump.

Anonymous sources means they're just making stuff up.

🙃

Yeah....he visited the White House and gave horrid advice.

Rove works for the DS.

Rove is working on DeSanctus, along with Lyin Ryan, right now.

He’s his new t*rd blossom.

I am not a DeSantis supporter. But sorry, there were many articles about Rove and Trump. Even in this article there is admission Rove is consulting.

So you admit, you want to take out any Republican to the right of Romney?

Personally I’m staying quiet on Casey DeSantis. She’s not running for President.

Ill save my criticism for Screamin Howard DeanSantis. 😏

I only support conservatives who relentlessly support the Constitution. If someone will nominate a Anthony Kennedy clerk to the Supreme Court, I’ll pass.

Not surprising if Roger Stone is involved.
