Ron DeSantis Catches Heat After He ‘Declined’ to Speak at Turning Point Action
Breitbart ^ | July 11, 2023 | Nick Gilbertson

Posted on 07/11/2023 2:47:10 PM PDT by backpacker_c

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is said to have turned down an invitation to speak at Turning Point Action (TPA) in West Palm Beach, Florida, this weekend — a move that has conservatives perplexed.

Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, shared Posobiec’s tweet, writing, “Too bad!”

Cernovich offered a similar sentiment to Bowyer’s. Who told DeSantis to snub Turning Point? Is he afraid they’ll boo him? They wouldn’t. What exactly is the “thinking” going on with his brainiac brain trust of big donor funded advisers?

While DeSantis will not be at the event, four other Republican presidential candidates are slated to speak, headlined by former President Donald Trump

desanctus hasn't had a big event in Florida yet since he announced, as I recall.

team desantis must be afraid of the reaction he might get, based on his polls...

Desantis is a nobody who let RINO’s with his own ego fool himself into thinking he was a somebody. Trump got him where he is if he would have waited to 2028 and supported Trump as heir apparent he could have had a path...now he has to build his own brand as never trump is only 15%...he needs to hustle...still won’t beat Trump...they miscalculated thought indictments would finish Trump...FOOLS.

Stab-In-The-Back Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has the right to remain silent. Anything he says and does can and will be used against him in the Court of Public Opinion.

He’s meeting with his donors in the Hamptons this weekend. Talk about being tone deaf.

I think that’s later in the week.

the desantis schedule shows a meet and greet at a restaurant in Fort Dodge, IA friday morning, and in Winterset, IA on saturday morning....

Big events for team desantis, I guess....

I mean, he might get a fifty to a hundred people at one of those locations, as opposed to hundreds at TPA, plus thousands watching on line....

“headlined by former President Donald Trump”

________________

It’s no mystery why he declined. That’s weakness.

The most obvious reason is, of course, totally and deliberately ignored by Bretbart. None of the candidates who will be participating in two IA events this weekend will be at Turning Point’s event, just as Trump and none of the Turning Point participants won’t be at the IA events.

Honest criticisms of the candidates are fine. We all need to know the good and the bad of those running for high office (well, any office actually). This was just a chance to denounce a candidate that Breitbart doesn’t like.

The take charge, “I’m an executive kind of guy” can’t even figure out how to run his campaign.

Why should Trump get into it with Tucker and all the wanna be’s?

After about 8 years politically, and decades longer otherwise, what don’t you know about Trump?
