DeSantis responds to Trump attack: ‘I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans’
Washington Times ^ | 8 Feb 23 | Seth McLaughlin

Posted on 02/09/2023 4:41:44 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday brushed aside former President Donald Trump‘s attempts to cast him as a “groomer” of young women, saying he is not interested in spending his time chopping down fellow Republicans.

The governor has been on the receiving end of recent Trump attacks, including the former president reposting a picture this week on social media accusing Mr. DeSantis of drinking alcohol with students when he was a teacher. The post labeled him a groomer.

“I’d also just say this,” Mr. DeSantis said at a press conference Wednesday. “I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden. That’s how I spend my time. I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”

Has Trump offered him the VP spot? If not this makes no sense.

LOL. So you have no news or info on what DeSantis did or did not do, so you blame him anyway.

I did not realize Ron Desantis is Catholic. Biden the thief in chief does make the club of Rome appear rather deceitful..

True. We’re further along on the slide to complete tyranny. I do, however, have skin in the game. The whole world does.....if you guys fall, that’s the end of freedom everywhere. Your country is still the last hope - who else will stand up against this evil cabal? I wish I did have a vote.

Yes, disloyalty is soooooo classy and Americans love a guy who uses you to get a position he can use to stab someone in the back.

DeSantis wouldn't even be known if Trump hadn't supported his gubernatorial bid, and that's a reality.

Trump is MAGA, & your claim that DeSantis is a class act is a bold-faced lie, because DeSantis is trying to claim that mantel for himself, and it's not for you, it's for him & the party.

Sadly, people are attracted to shiny objects while forgetting the sacrifices Trump actually made for this country & her citizens.

Sorry, but you all should be so ashamed of yourselves. You are following a charlatan. No wonder conservatives are losing this fight for our nation. You fall for those whose real goal is to defeat the MAGA movement, and you are too blind to see that reality. You will learn the hard way, and we will all lose as the result.

Trump knows he needs to finish what he started - clean up DC and get the country back on the right track.

Trump’s right. He needs to finish what he started.

And DeSantis? He’s great. Will make an amazing President for ‘28.

Great, we’re in a really powerful position here with a major split between our only two substantive nominees! I never count on Republicans, I count on GOD who has mercy in SPITE of them.

DeSantis can join trump or he can explain why he won’t
Until then he’s not on our side.


My side is not "Trump or no one". My side is a better America. I believe Trump, DeSantis and other conservatives can do a better job of getting us toward that goal than any Democrat.

“different kind of Catholic”

Pretty sad when a Catholic who is actually CATHOLIC, at how it relates to his public policies, is considered “different”

One more reason for me to vote for him.

We have a democrat fascist governor here in PA. In fact, every Republican I voted for lost in 2020. We have been through Pandemic Hell with lockdowns. I would appreciate a governor like DeSantis.

Problem is Trump doesn’t know how to use the levers of gov’t or pick the right people to get it done. But he is one hell of a great campaigner.
