Ron’s Comms Boss Matt Wolking Invented a Trump Camp Quote, then Freaked Out When Challenged
The National Pulse ^ | August 14, 2023 | WILLIAM UPTON

Matt Wolking, the Strategic Communications Director for the pro-Ron DeSantis Super PAC ‘Never Back Down’, appeared to invent quotes from within the Trump presidential campaign on Monday, before having a very public meltdown after he was quizzed on the matter.

Wolking – on loan from DeSantis campaign chief Jeff Roe’s embattled Axiom Strategies – refused to provide evidence of his claim that the “Trump camp” is “livid” about his meeting with reporter Laura Loomer on Sunday at Bedminster.

Trump camp is livid about his huddle with @LauraLoomer.

"We kept his [Iowa] fair visit to an hour to avoid another self-inflicted wound, then he goes and hangs out for an entire day with her" in New Jersey.

Ouch.

The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, challenged Wolking’s unsourced quote.

You gonna cite a source or just make up quotes and post them to X dot com?

Not only could the Never Back Down ‘Strategic Communications Director’ not provide a source for his quote, but Wolking quickly melted down, attacking this conservative news site – The National Pulse – and its Brexit-backing editor.

Prior to joining Jeff Roe’s Axiom – and subsequently the Never Back Down Super PAC controlled by Roe and staffed by Axiom employees – Wolking worked as the deputy communications director on former President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, where he routinely asked for support from The National Pulse and its staff.

Axiom Strategies and the DeSantis Super PAC have been plagued with controversy since the start of the presidential campaign. Intent on alienating masses of conservative voters, the firm is also facing a massive lawsuit in Nevada over accusations of fraudulent campaign work, including falsified and obscene petition signatures.

Roe himself – a long-time Republican establishment consultant – recently offered to pay corporate media start-up ‘Puck’ up to $11 million to stop writing about him.

Matt Wolking is a traitor. After J6 he threw Donald Trump under the bus after Trump gave him a career opportunity of a lifetime.

Now @MattWolking works for Ron DeSaster and has to be reminded everyday how he betrayed the greatest President ever to go work for a total LOSER.… https://t.co/DCfOuAPSvT

This guy sounds like some of our resident DeSanctimonious Online Influencers here on FreeRepublic.

I wouldn't doubt it one bit if he was one of them.

Especially this:

"You gonna cite a source or just make up quotes and post them"

There are a few who consistently do it. Don't expect that behavior to change--they have an agenda.

Sir Spam-A-Lot finds nothing more important today than spamming anti-DeSantis drivel. The one trick pony trots again.
