If you have followed the management and branding efforts of the team around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the protestations today by campaign official and registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw are quite bizarre.
The Daily Beast wrote an article [SEE HERE] about how Ms. Pushaw organized an astroturf campaign of support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, which included the recruitment of several conservative influencers. The substance of the article is generally well known.
In late 2021, early 2022, Ms. Pushaw invited a group of “influencers” to spend time with Governor DeSantis. It’s not a debatable event. Factually, the collective group took gleeful pictures of their first visit on January 6, 2022, and continued to post frequent pictures on their social media of events throughout last year. The group went to the reelection celebration and inauguration of DeSantis earlier this month.
However, for some odd reason, likely more concerned about people realizing the ‘organized‘ nature of the creation, in a bizarre turn of events, Ms Christina Pushaw is now denying she ever organized the assembly and stating that without any documentary evidence, saying she organized the group is just a conspiracy theory. [Tweet Link]
If Ms. Pushaw is to be believed, the random group of Florida conservative “influencers” just happened to show up at the Governor’s office on January 6, 2022, without any invitation, organization or coordination on her part.
Even lacking the invitation details, hanging your defense on the absence of a paper trail under these circumstances, seems like a very odd position to take.
Why does the DeSantis team fear sunlight on the origin of how this outreach and subsequent meetings took place? Very odd.
I sincerely doubt this group just randomly showed up at Ron DeSantis office on January 6, 2022, without an invitation or organizing.
The same group then continued meeting throughout the year….
.
Nothing about their recruitment, continued meet-ups and aggressive promotion of Ron DeSantis for the GOP nomination in 2024 would be that interesting or even noteworthy if Ms. Christina Pushaw didn’t paint them all into a box by denying she ever organized their first assembly.
And there’s the rub… Why is Christina Pushaw denying that she first organized them on behalf of the political aspirations of her boss, Ron DeSantis?
The only logical reason to make such an outlandish and transparently false claim, is if that original assembly was intended as seed material to use the “influencers” for another purpose, like a 2024 presidential bid. Yet, Ron DeSantis hasn’t announced a 2024 presidential bid…. so that issue is a nonstarter, unless that announcement is eventually going to come forth.
If Ron DeSantis is going to announce his candidacy for the GOP nomination, then suddenly all these background moves look like proactive steps on behalf of the management team. The January 6, 2022, meeting would then infer the presidential aspirations as far back as December 2021.
In combination with the $200+ million in Wall Street money assembled by DeSantis, perhaps that 2024 plan is the risk necessitating the absurd denial.

They all just randomly showed up to hang out with DeSantis. Yep, that’s the story and Pushaw is sticking to it.
For those interested, central planning and organization is the difference between “organic” support and “astroturf.”
Slava Ukraine!
Deep state DeSantis is just playing it coy for now until the Dems manage to indict Trump for something to make his candidacy ineligible.
Why would Upshaw necessarily be the organizer ? Buck Sexton shows in most of these and appears to be the ‘photo organizer’, at least.
He and Clay Travis were apparently “invited” to the inauguartion, as were most of the others, probably, who knew each other and gathered again.
Again, what’s wrong with supporters gathering ? Nothing...and thus no worries about organizing it or denying it if she wasn’t the organizer.
I now see the original source was the Daily Beast....another misguided attempt to get DeSantis.
He is not deep state. He’s an executive that actually knows how to manipulate gov’t to get things done.
BTW: there is more evidence that Joe Biden stole the election than what the media is going crazy with in this stupid irrelevant story.
Hogwash!
Follow the money, DeSantis didn’t receive $200 million plus in Wall Street money because he’s a ‘man of the people’. Let’s hear what foreign policy he intends to pursue, that will tell you all you need to know about him. Keep him in Florida.
produce the documents that prove your allegations...
The $200 million in Wall Street money is mentioned right in the article, didn’t you read it?
Look closely at the pic with Buck Sexton kneeling in front......WHO belongs to the hand on his shoulder and the one right behind it??<P Maybe I’m seeing things.
after witnessing the way the enemedia treated trump you’re going to believe them and preach for them???...
Never mind....it’s the guy kneeling next to him...DUH.
It’s been widely reported in the media about DeSantis receiving the big money donations, and no denial from DeSantis that this is the case. You are the only one living in denial.
not living in denial...
living in florida...
he’s an excellent governor and puts our state and its citizens first...
you’re spreading enemedia propaganda...
Yes he’s an excellent governor, and I prefer he stay governor. No more neocons for me, I’ve had enough of their idiot foreign policies that have essentially bankrupted us with the cost of these never ending wars of theirs.
Yep. The swamp creatures in DC see this sort of tripe and are smiling ear to ear.
i prefer he stays governor as well...
trash talking him isn’t productive and isn’t uniting conservatives...
desantis for president 2028...
florida first!... 😎
