Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Never Back Down PAC” spokesman Steve Cortes has split with the newly minted presidential candidate over the McCarthy-Biden debt deal looming over Congress.
DeSantis tweeted on Sunday: “Our country is careening toward bankruptcy, and after this debt ceiling ‘deal’ it will still be careening toward bankruptcy. The deal green lights $4 trillion in new debt over the next year and a half, locks in inflated levels of spending from COVID, and keeps 98% of the Biden IRS expansion.”
His view is widely shared, including by this website. But his “National Spokesman” Steve Cortes disagrees, in a strange moment of internal division for the DeSantis team, and one that may deepen the turmoil in Tallahassee.
Cortes wrote: “Conservatives should welcome the deal that the GOP House negotiated against an obstinate Biden Administration… this agreement represents a worthy deal that should receive the support of patriotic populists.”
Cortes does accept there is more to be done, and did not sign the op-ed in his capacity as Never Back Down spokesman. The news comes as former Cruz strategist Jeff Roe removed long time DeSantis advisor Phil Cox from the campaign, after a horrific week for the campaign.
Can neither Trump nor DeSantis field a team without GOPe tentacles?
“””Cortes wrote: “Conservatives should welcome the deal that the GOP House negotiated against an obstinate Biden Administration… this agreement represents a worthy deal that should receive the support of patriotic populists.””””
Cortes has made some strange moves in the past few weeks.
How much money and from whom did it take for Cortes to begin singing new songs?????
No.
It may not be strictly financial.
The Deep State can find any weak spot and use it to their advantage.
Great post BTW, if it is true. 🙂
Quote: “DeSant’ run is not only going to dampen any nationwide office aspirations he has but might also damage his current situation and currently red Fla.”
How do you get that from this? DeSantis opposes this budget deal, as do many conservatives, so therefore his political future is doomed?
Better that people who support him find out now, rather than later, for the sake of the country.
We're there, Dude.
Start talking about how to begin repairs - starting with beheading a few of your donors, unfortunately. /s

This Deal is the consummate RINO lip service, while giving away the store to their Masters.
Betrayal after betrayal.
.
If DeSantis has any brains and balls, he'll fire Cortes.
If....
Nope, and as el rushbo said, we're in big heap trouble.
Little Indian lingo there.
This deal was struck a month ago. Everything the media has described is all kabuki theater for the idiot masses.

It was the myriad of funny little things like that which made him such a great entertainer.
