Strut! Strut! Strut!
When Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis moves across the stage, those heels be lifting!
New video shared on social media over the weekend showed the gay-hating Florida governor walking up on stage with a clear lift in his signature brown cowboy boots.
Slow down the clip, and see that platform werk, honey!
At around the 15-second mark, DeSantis’ elevation is apparent. Then a few seconds later, his heel comes into clear view.

He is a very short man trying to look tall with those heels in his boots. The placement of the knees tells it all. pic.twitter.com/axzmlJTdHu

This is so funny look at the boot wangling

A man in 3inch kitten heel boots… sounds like drag baby

It’s also worth mentioning that DeSantis’ boots appear to be about three sizes too large. Did “Walmart Melania” purchase these bad boys on the clearance rack?
Definitely some lifts in the boots. But what is more strange to me, is the fact that they are three sizes too big. He must have tiny feet!🦶

For months, the failing presidential candidate has been dogged with accusations about his footwear. The speculation caused some intrepid TikTokers to examine the shiny black cowboy boots DeSantis was wearing during his interview with Bill Maher recently.
Turns out, they can be found on Amazon for the reasonable price of $32.99!
The first video that went viral makes a simple statement: “Tell me he’s not wearing hidden heels,” the text reads.
The clip includes an image with a yellow outline over the short candidate’s foot, seemingly showing how the wedge aids his allusion of tall masculine grandeur.
#HiddenHeel indeed! Who’s ready for #fashionweek?
At the end, the video cuts to an image of a pair of black ClassicSter Womens Hidden Wedge Booties Faux Suede High Heel Ankle Boots.
Listed at 5’9″, DeSantis is playing from a height disadvantage. Every president since Jimmy Carter has been 5’11” or taller.
Donald Trump stands at 6’2″ or sometimes 6’3″ (depending on whether he has to report his BMI), and Joe Biden is six feet tall.
We may no longer have any moral standards, but when it comes to presidents, we still care about height!
For years, DeSantis’ homophobic wife, Casey, has been in charge of his aesthetics. He started wearing his aforementioned black cowboy boots after he was elected to Congress in 2012.
“She bought him these dumba** cowboy boots because she thought it was part of the image,” an angry staffer told Vanity Fair.
A former TV news anchor, Casey is said to be obsessed with appearance. She reportedly amasses total control over her husband’s wardrobe, right down to his earpieces.
With that in mind, it’s sensible to believe that she would recommend on heels, too. There is plenty of photograph evidence to support the hypothesis.

Of course, there is a lot of irony attached the notion of DeSantis sporting heels while he wages war against drag queens. Florida is one of multiple states to pass an anti-drag law, making it a misdemeanor to knowingly admit a child into a show.
However, an appellate court decided the hateful law can’t be enforced until a trial is held to determine its constitutionality. Many of his attacks against LGBTQ+ people and culture war priorities are failing to pass legal muster.
That’s bad news for DeSantis, who launched his presidential campaign on the back of his anti-gay policies. He’s failed to gain traction at any point during the race.
New polling out of Iowa now shows him tied with Nikki Haley for second place with 16% of the vote, despite shifting roughly one third of his remaining staffers to the Hawkeye State.
With DeSantis seemingly pinning the future of his campaign on Iowa, a bad finish in the caucus could be his final death knell. No heel is big enough to bring DeSantis back to life.

ALL three of you troll are just trying to deflect from this story of a GOP pos who wears high heels while trump also wears them. These are not men. Real men gay or straight dont freak out about their height or their hair or their make up and trump cares about them all and his weight . I love the meme that says trump is one set of press on nails from being a candidate on the next RuPaul he can be joined by tiny meat disantis

Seems to me that the “We Love You” parents are doing a pretty awesome job showing their kids how to be decent humans. Something YOU are clearly not.

He must be growing bone spurs. He’ll never win. He’s a loser. His wife is a pig and I pity her children.
Thanks for staying on top of this short, fat POS in Florida. He does keep things interesting (and embarrassing) if nothing else. And it so nice that you FEED THE TROLLS HERE. They get boners when they see him and pray that he wins.

Ah, the pathetic insecurity of a man who is LITTLE in every way!

Oh my! Next Ron DeSantis will be wearing High Heels!

Those boots seem to match the stupid expression in most of his photos. Pathetic, petty little man who has cost his state MILLIONS in lost revenue and lawyer’s fees all because he’s trying to be president. Operative word being “trying”. Sorry Ron, you are not even Clown Car material…

I live in Orlando and he even had his deplorables who control our statehouse pass a law that prohibits us citizens from asking or being told how much of our money he spends on his travel which we are paying for. He destroyed the liberal college by appointing his buddy president for nearly a million dollars while the past president didnt make 450 thous and the school has only an enrollment of less than 700. He started a total sports program there since they didnt have one and gave out tons of scholarships to a shit ton of athletes who he housed in. the best dorm rooms usually reserved for the senior students. he is a disaster and loves to dole out pork. and dont get me started on how he is FKING up our entire tourist industry with so many group[s boycotting our state.

And yet, Florida is the #1 moving destination from other (blue) American states. Funny how that is.

Wouldn´t the “fair” thing to do to be for a journalist/interviewer to ask him whether he’s wearing lifts in his boots? Then when he denies it, he could be asked to prove it by standing next to the same person with the boots on and then after removing his boots. If he has nothing to hide why wouldn’t he cooperate? Most of his interviews (interactions) seem to take on a hostile quality anyway.
I’m surprised the staffs of his primary rivals aren’t using this to demonstrate how untrustworthy, deceptive and hypocritical DeSaster is.
As intrusive as the media is, I always have wondered why they haven’t done a thorough investigation of His Magasty’s combover/weave.

Thank you, Queerty, for your consistently negative stories on Governor Ron DeSantis. Is the Trump campaign slipping you a little money in an effort to boost his already sky high poll numbers?

One doesn’t need to be a Trump supporter to take joy in DeSantis’ many disasters. He’s just so hateable!

@Jaesly
I’m sorry…who are the haters again?
barryaksarben
they both are deplorable and we need to wash all the magas until they are in their graves because they will never stop trying to destroy this entire nation out of spite that the vast majority of Americans want nothing to do with their hate filled dystopian world view.
barryaksarben
WE ALL KNOW WHO THE HATERS ARE AND IT IS THE MAGA DEPLORABLES. we are not the ones taking their rights away we are not the ones who get tiny boners over the thought of controlling others. The Supreme Court newbies LIED to get on the court to do away with ROE. And Roberts and Alito are demanding that we show more respect to the court. Laughable, I dont respect LIARS esp at that level. We arent the ones demanding parents who love their children enough to listen to them be jailed for it. YOU yourself are a giant pos and if that come across as hate I will gladly admit I despise cowardly trolls like you dear

@barry
“WE ALL KNOW WHO THE HATERS ARE AND IT IS THE MAGA DEPLORABLES.”
“we need to wash all the magas until they are in their graves”
You state “MAGA DEPLORABLES are the “HATERS” and then wish death on tens of millions of U.S. citizens that voted for President Trump. That’s rich! You just trolled yourself. Who is the REAL hater? Who is wishing death on U.S. citizens simply because of who they voted for?
Your lack of self-awareness is ASTOUNDING!

I don’t know what Ronda’s “most embarrassing secret” is, but I bet it’s even more embarrassing than high heels!

His ass is covered with scars from all the whipping he recieves from Casey’s emasculatation sessions. He nevr chose a ”safe” word, sooo…….
Fname Optional Lname
Seems like he is taking notes from Pence and “Mother”.
dbmcvey
It’s pretty well known that he wears lifts. His whole campaign has been a failure but the high heels are not the reason. It’s more his inability to act like a human being and the fact that he has no real ideology or plans, his whole career is culture wars.
abfab
He’ll become a Fox and Friends blabber mouth and they’ll put him in a high chair, with a sippy cup wearing a bib.
Openminded
He can’t keep this charade up forever. The day will come that he quits wearing these ugly, ill-fitting boots and you can bet the media will be there to call him out.
LumpyPillows
When I saw him on RealTime I thought the boots looked odd. This was before the issue was flagged, maybe when it got started. I don’t really care if he’s trying to look taller. I do care that he seems to be a vapid, Trump-wanna-be.
The good news for Ron is that he should be quite good at walking in high heels. It’s almost like it’s a fetish.
abfab
Why were you looking at his boots instead of paying attention to all the smart things he had to say?
LumpyPillows
Well, because they looked so odd when he walked and while he sat there.
I did listen to him. I do try and listen to these people just in case they say something meaningful. I can’t recall a thing he said though, and he certainly did not change my mind about him being someone I could never support or take seriously.
mildredspierce
Size 8 in a size 12, and the curve of the top of his foot where his ankle should be, and the toes curling upwards with each step, and even while sitting. Bet the orthotics cost more than the suit and boots combined.

Maybe he’ll try flipping pancakes at one of those dorky RNC events and fall HEAD OVER HEELS. Wasn’t it Missy Mitch who gave us that show once?

Who’s lifts are bigger Donald’s or Rons.? Ron dye his hair or going to wear a girdle like drumfpt ?

Two presidential cycles ago, another conservative Floridian, Sen. Marco Rubio, stepped onto the wrong side of this divide. While campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination in January 2016, the senator, whom the Washington Post’s “well-informed Florida sources” peg at 5’8”, wore a pair of shiny heeled boots on a visit to New Hampshire. His GOP primary competitors ridiculed the femininity of the look and all had a good laugh at his expense.
Rubio’s heels were no higher than a cowboy boot’s, and they even had a similarly slanted heel. (His were technically Cuban heels, but to the untrained eye, they’re cowboy heels.) But because they lacked the stitching and shape of cowboy boots, they were cupcakes, Kesha, body glitter. Got it?

Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has left the internet in a frenzy after appearing in bulky boots on the Real Time with Bill Maher talk show. Internet users are having a field day about the Republican’s potential insecurity about his height. Netizens have since conspired that the Florida governor often sports cowboy boots to make himself look taller.
”POTENTIAL INSECURITY” I love that.
abfab
Recently, TikTok videos about Ron DeSantis’ preference for cowboy boots went viral online. According to the Daily Dot, in one of the many videos, that was captioned- “slay queen,” the TikToker highlighted the politician’s leg to show how his shoes’ wedges made him look taller.
The clip also included a picture of ClassicSter Women’s Hidden Wedge Booties Faux Sude High Heel Ankle Boots, signifying that DeSantis was not only wearing women’s’ shoes but also that he found it necessary to have heels.

Picture this chump at the TSA line.
A real swish-queen of a security agent gay guy in a FLA airport demands that he removes his booties. The booties then go into the xray scanners and they find things. He is denied boarding and he throws a temper tantrum as people play monkey-in-the middle with his stinky footwear.
