A lobbyist for vaccine manufacturer Moderna and for the maker of a leading puberty blocker given to transgender children is holding a fundraising event for Ron DeSantis in Washington D.C. this month.

It puts the Florida governor in an awkward position as he tries to ride anti-vaxxer sentiment and his record restricting gender-affirming treatment all the way to the White House.

The controversy stems from an event to be held at the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, D.C.'s biggest federal lobbying firm, on June 23. DeSantis supporters can buy a place with a $1,000 donation, according to an invitation obtained by DailyMail.com.

One of the hosts is Marc Lampkin, a partner at the firm, who has been on the wrong side of a host of DeSantis or Republican red button issues.

It's no surprise Ron DeSanctimonious would do a fundraiser with a lobbyist for a Chinese semiconductor company considering his globalist masters at the Club for No Growth have a China First trade policy,' he said

'DeSanctus' hypocrisy surrounding the COVID vaccine, and his willingness to accept money from a representative of a company manufacturing puberty blockers, also show that DeSanctus is willing to sell out for anything if the price is right.'

When they are corrupt, like desantis is, it's all about the money.

[ClearCase_guy]

It is starting to feel like a money grab by a guy who understands he isn’t going to win a darn thing.

[proust]

Why is Moderna betraying Trump?

[JoSixChip]

Desanctimonious has all the wrong friends. Just sayin.

“When they are corrupt, like desantis is, it’s all about the money.”

Well you try running for president, pal. It takes money, and if it’s dirty money, then so be it.

Not everyone can be as rich and clean as Trump.

Been saying for awhile now, I really dont know where he stands. Just another example.

I am sure the tic-t o c crew carrying sainty-Dee’s water do not care.. this guy was for TTP .. China first..

[cnsmom]

DeSantis is another McCain or Romney just playing on the Democrat team.

If Rhonda Saster doesn’t spend all this money on private jets, meals, hotel rooms, and come campaign expenses, does he get to keep the rest?

[thegagline]

"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind." Trump, spokeshole for Moderna.

[Just mythoughts]

Apparently saint Desantis agrees.. money always exposes the human heart.

[backpacker_c]

It's likely, depending on how the different pacs and funds are arranged, desantis could become a millionaire and slink away into obscurity....

One thing to watch, though, is that $83 million that was originally in friends of ron desantis pac, has been transfered into the neverbackdown super pac.

This is illegal, per FEC and mccain-feingold, but desantis is hoping the FEC deadlocks on party lines and lets him get away with using it for his presidential campaign

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes, the State runs deep in this one.

[jeffersondem]

“If Rhonda Saster doesn't spend all this money on private jets, meals, hotel rooms . . .”

Is the use of private jets by Republican presidential candidates now a litmus test for untrustworthyness?

[Jane Long]

What you did, there....I see.

[Jane Long]

Livin’ la vida loca.

[LegendHasIt]

Nice!

My mama always used to say that the company you keep says more about you than your words and actions do.

[lastchance]

I suppose you did not consider that A. DeSantis is not the one who issued invitations to the fundraiser. and B. The lobbyist most likely has multiple clients.

[FLT-bird]

DeSantis is just a tool of the RINO Establishment. He will do whatever his masters tell him - witness his flip flop on Ukraine within 24 hours.

Here is Ron and Mike … and free advertising for Bud Light ?!?
