Ron DeSantis’ wife, Casey DeSantis, attempted to drum up more support for her husband online yesterday. Her latest spin on her husband’s failing campaign was to spin his unpopularity as… a positive point?
“What does it tell you when the DC Establishment, the Corporate Media and the Left are all against you… Honestly, it should tell you absolutely everything,” she said. “Enough of the elites imposing their will against us, it’s about damn time we impose our will on them!”

Honestly, it should tell you absolutely everything.
Enough of the elites imposing their will against us, it’s about da** time we impose our will on them!
Others shot down her attempt to portray her husband as an Ordinary Joe fighting “the man.”
Her husband is the governor of a major state, a former congressman, a lawyer, and a graduate of Harvard and Yale. He is the personification of the elite, of the Establishment in this country. The gaslighting never ends. https://t.co/RJHG0GamQY
What does that mean? He’s like the king of Florida. You were a newscaster (local celebrity) in Jacksonville. You live in Ponte Vedra (I’m down the road in St. Augustine so I KNOW what that means) and he went to Yale.
YOU ARE THE ELITES! Most in Florida cannot relate to…
Casey DeSantis, a former TV personality who is married to the governor of Florida, a former congressman who went to Harvard and got a law degree from Yale, would like to speak to you about elites: https://t.co/VzMVNrd936
One person Casey can count on for support is former The View co-host Meghan McCain. The latter used her Daily Mail column yesterday to echo Casey’s view, saying, “There isn’t a person in the 2024 race that has been on the receiving end of as much unrelenting negativity as the Florida governor.”
“Notice how the forces arrayed against him – on the left and the right – are united around a single narrative that a candidate’s personality matters more than actual accomplishments.”
McCain, who is John McCain’s daughter, in case anyone forgot, went on to argue, “Is personality such an important quality? Some of America’s greatest Presidents have been introverts.”
Hmmm. It would appear that in a crowded field of candidates, personality does matter.
DeSantis was interviewed yesterday on Fox News and was asked about comments over his lack of “charisma”. He claimed some of the criticism was “manufactured”

Casey Desantis sat down for another softball interview with Fox News, and quickly turned the conversation towards trans athletes.
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
DeSantis is a graduate of Harvard Law… Trump‘s brand is nostalgic opulence and unfinanced tax breaks for billionaires… What will it take to get the media to unpack these doublethink soundbites?! Biden took the commuter rail to the Senate, has rebuilt strategic alliances and cut childhood poverty. How is the former the program of the working class and the latter elitist? Have we gone through the looking glass?
I am designing an adult board game, with the characters mimic’d (aped?) after modern day GQP politicians. Karen DeeSantis was assigned “CLueless” as her moniker.
I used to think they were just delusional but in fact they know exactly what they’re doing. Lies and gaslighting as far as it will take them and for however much $ it will bring in. They actually deny that they’ve affected the LGBTQ community in a negative way and deny that the laws he has passed and the words he has said have the potential to cause violence and harm to the community. The want their cake and they want to eat it with their fingers apparently.
As always, Mehdi Hasan said it best – DeSantis IS the elite. A pompous white, straight male who graduated from two ivy league schools and a governor who routinely abuses and misuses his authority. His pathetic, misguided, bigoted asshole of a wife is barking into the abyss because Every. Single. Attempt. she makes to make her husband less unpopular is a miserable fail. At this point, I’m wondering what kind of idiot is contributing to his impotent campaign.
You know your campaign is screwed when you have a nutjob like Meghan McCain jumping in to defend you. Ron and his wife are evil narcissistic trolls who should go away and stay there.
Meghan is a trip. A very, bad trip. I do miss the hair and how she would explode and storm off The View stage. That was great TV. Please bring her back!

It’s Karma. He gives negativity so he gets negativity.
It’s laughable that they think republicans haven’t imposed their will in us.
