DeSantis Doubles Down On ‘Brandon Administration’ Comment When Pressed By Reporter
dailycaller.com ^ | November8,2021 | Nicole Silverio

WPEC CBS12 News reporter Jay O’Brien pressed the Florida governor on calling the administration “the Brandon administration” in reference to the popular anti-Biden phrase “Let’s Go, Brandon” at an election integrity press conference on Nov. 3 in Tampa Bay.

“Do you feel that that is the proper level of exchange between a governor and a president?” O’Brien asked.

“Well, let me ask you how he’s treated us. Well, look, I think it’s a joke but honestly, one of the reasons why that has taken on is because a lot of your folks in the national media, they get very sensitive to it,” DeSantis responded. “Because what happened was people were chanting something else very colorful. You had a reporter though, say it was ‘Let’s Go, Brandon’ when that’s not really what was said.”

“I think the reason why it’s caught on is because I think it needles the national media a little bit because look, they’ve become very partisan.”

DeSantis previously criticized the national media’s “dishonesty” at the Nov. 3 press conference in response to Stavast’s reporting. He argued that the chant “has taken on a life of its own” to expose corporate reporters for hiding the truth.

Former Clinton-era press secretary and CNN analyst Joe Lockhart recently compared the chant to ISIS, Ku Klux Klan and Nazi rhetoric via Twitter.

Remember the media outrage over FedGov deliberately cutting the allocation of monoclonal antibody treatments to Florida under the guise of “equity”? Neither do I.

I’m betting if we repeatedly refer to it as the Brandon Administration, in short order Biden will start calling himself Brandon.

Since DeSantis told Joe to Eff himself in a zoom call, I guess he does think it’s appropriate.

Considering how Joe dumps plane loads of infected illegals into FL and then cuts off the monclodial anitibodies to FL.

He can Eff himself and a whole lot more.

Why not? It's a mostly-peaceful interaction.

I never once heard them question the WH reporters decorum when openly challenging Trump. BTW, I really enjoy how DeSantis handles the media, like Trump, with total disdain.

A few weeks ago our band director came in wearing a Biden mask. The jokes (including Brandon) were flying around by band members and the audience. The general consensus was Biden was a sick joke of a president. Finally Biden (our band director asked us to play a song for him. As it happens, I opened my song book to the song we played. I suggested,... “Who’s Sorry Now”.

Same leftist scumbag CNN “reporter” who once said that “all Trump supporters are racist.” Joe Lockhart, a fat, untalented bag of feces who never saw a cheeseburger, bag of pork rinds, case of Krispy Creme donuts, whole roasted chicken, bag of BK burgers, family-size bucket of KFC he didn’t immediately swallow whole.

Someone needs to sit down with the media, pat their heads, and gently say, "Media ... I'm sorry, but Nobody likes Joe Brandon -- I mean, Biden. Nobody. You know how you inflate those polls of yours to make it seem like someone, somewhere, does maybe like him? That's very dishonest, isn't it? Well, you only have to do that because people like Joe Biden as much as they like a sewer pipe breaking and gushing sewage into their office on Monday morning when they have a horrible hangover from drinking cheap store-brand vodka all weekend."
