DeSantis super PAC quietly funnelled money into anti-Trump group
Yahoo ^ | Jan 30, 2024 | Jessica Piper

Posted on 01/31/2024 11:42:04 AM PST by backpacker_c

The chief group backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid made a $2.75 million cash infusion to a pop-up super PAC right around the time that group spent millions attacking former President Donald Trump

The payments from the pro-DeSantis Never Back Down to Win It Back PAC — a group linked to Club for Growth — were revealed in the latter group’s filings with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday. Win It Back PAC spent more than $6.4 million on digital and TV ads over the summer opposing Trump’s candidacy. It also funded a field program and text messaging.

Never back down gave money to another pac, also funded by club for growth to run anti-Trump ads.

That way, they could deny the ads were linked to them.

The contributions are real -

Globalists...pfft.

Club for Growth had featured speakers, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, etc.

Trump KOs GOP Globalists
March 7, 2023 by John & Andy Schlafly

Excerpt:

“Trump is right about the Club for Growth, formerly led by Pat Toomey who was one of the few Senators to vote in support of the vindictive second impeachment of President Trump. Toomey then left the Senate and became a director of Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm profiting from globalism and from the notorious “carried interest” tax loophole that Trump tried to end but Toomey was an “all star” in preserving, a lobbyist told Bloomberg.”

At this point in the election year and on our side, any attacks on Trump only hurt the Republican cause. I call derangement on any erstwhile Republican who could believe and vote for whoever the Dems run as being better than President Trump being re-elected.

You guys pull polls when trump was winning

Here is one for you guys.

I as desantis supporter I always knew that trump wouldn’t win the general election. And he won’t. To much baggage for the independents

Maga makes up 35% of electoral voters

We had a champion in desantis but you guys hated him to much.

NATIONAL POLL: Quinnipiac (15)

Biden: 50% (+6)
Trump: 44%

Well, what do you do, when you’re team desantis, and want to put out attack ads that aren’t true and don’t want any back lash when people find out team desantis made them?

You know, like when team desantis did with the fake AI generated ad of Trump and fauci, or the Trump supports lgbtq meme?

you use someone else to do it.

And so they paid another group to put out the attack ads.

You supported a loser. Most here knew Ron was a loser before he even announced. Why would anyone here give a hoot what else you have to say sleeper?

He would have done better in the general then trump

Enjoy Biden for another 4 years

Enjoy Biden stacking the Supreme Court with lefties

Unfortunately another 4 years of Biden will bring more death and destruction against us troops in Middle East more money going to Ukraine and more American deaths in middle east all that because republicans were to stubborn to move in from trump

Will you support trump in 2028 !?? Lolooo , hello kamal
Harris president

That’s my rant for the day

Desantis 2028 !!!

Not a DeSantis supporter, but this was done while DeSantis was still in the running, so I don’t see the problem; isn’t it a normal part of campaigning?

DeSantis endorsed Trump and stopped campaigning, which means he’s being a team player.

We need DeSantis to finish second in delegates while not campaigning.

It will further embarrass Haley.

We hear that from you Ron supporters a lot. Problem is, he couldn't even win a caucus or a primary. He's done.
