Ron DeSantis Defends Kayleigh McEnany From Trump's Attack
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 2 Jun 23 | Matthew Impelli

Posted on 06/03/2023 3:45:59 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad."

"Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday.

DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer, she's an absolute killer, and she ate the press alive, and so for him [Trump] to be attacking her, I thought that was really, really bad."

By the way you Trump Derangement goobers - how did you like the RINO victory on the Budget? $$$ talks all else is B.S.

The debt ceiling agreement is another Trump achievement via his MANY endorsed RINO buddies, Kevin McCarthy.

Trump showed real leadership in this debt ceiling debate by remaining silent the whole time while weak leaders, like DeSantis, came out condemning the deal.

I guess I am not smart enough to appreciate what the amazing Trump-acolyte, McCarthy, negotiated on behalf of US taxpayers.

Go Trump!

“Hannity deliberately LIED on the air about the conservative and then refused to give her a segment to respond.”

You’re right. I’d forgotten about Barnette; she was great.

Trump needs to stop pal-ing around with Hannity, Miss Lindsey, Christie, etc., who give him terrible advice.

Like Totaly Man - is that why Ron Desencamonious did not chose Florida to announce his run for the Presidency? Was there just too much love of the Fl. Govner

Note: Rob has held fundraisers with the monied class in FL, but no public rallies.

If he is heavily supported, why not?

“All his wounds are self inflicted.”

No, the left amplifies (or manufactures) small things, then “we” dutifully inflict the wounds.

Yep. That’s all it takes. ‘cause we’re real smart.

The trouble with Trump’s accomplishments is they weren’t law of the land as much as executive orders which were quickly reversed by the Biden gang.
I voted for Trump .
I have no doubt the election of 2020 was the most fraudulent in history.
And I am afraid Mr. Trump is damaging himself and the chance to reverse bidenism by his behavior.

Because DeSantis does not have an ego to feed like Trump?

Gimme a break. You’d defend anything Trump did, and he knows it, which hardly makes you smart.

Trump: I could shoot somebody and not lose voters

Being 25 points BEHIND is nothing to brag about, considering that DeSantis hasn’t been subjected to “the treatment” that Trump has gotten now for 8 long years. Another thing, calling someone “milktoast” isn’t exactly an attack.

I prefer not to call names. I truly believe that if Trump is the nominee we will either lose or it’ll be closer than it should be. That said, if Trump wins I’ll vote for him enthusiastically. My issue is with those folks who paint DeSantis as some kind of “Deep state” plant or “RINO” without any evidence and contrary to his record as Governor here in Florida.

Folks point to DeSantis’ backers as evidence of him being establishment while ignoring many of those same people backed Trump in 2016 and 2020. They point to the Bush family’s support of DeSantis. In my opinion, that has more to do with their hatred of Trump than their support of DeSantis. Even the simplest and logical criticism of Trump elicits an over the top reaction. That’s not healthy.

That’s right. I don’t run down the general when we’re in battle.

This word “smart” that you keep using. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Hey, I gave you my read on your tagline like you requested (pro bono). It must have been sage beyond words. Because you had no words. You’re welcome.

>>>>Irrelevant name calling aside, the problem with DeSantis is that he has all the wrong friends....”

The problem with the spammers is they twist, lie, and misrepresent. DeSantis doesn’t control who likes him anymore than Trump controls that the KKK likes him.

Spammers just gonna worship. It’s a religion and Trump is their Messiah.

Because your response equated to “duh, I don’t know, huh?”

Why does Desantis think Jerome Adams was a bad pick? I liked him and how he stood up against COVID tyranny

Rhonda is dominated by his Hillary wannabe wife who constantly orders him around. She’s the reason he didn’t wait for his turn.
