Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis’ boots are made so he can look taller!
For months, the gay-hating Florida governor has been dogged with accusations about his footwear. He frequently wears shiny, black cowboy boots to public events, making him appear several inches taller.
But what are those boots, boots? Some intrepid TikTokers examined the shoes DeSantis was wearing last week during his interview with the insufferable Bill Maher.
As it turns out, they can be found on Amazon for the reasonable price of $32.99!
Or at least, hungry consumers can find something close to them.
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 presidential candidate’s foot, seemingly showing how the wedge aids his allusion of masculine grandeur.
#HiddenHeel indeed! Who’s ready for #parisfashionweek?
DeSantis is a “f*cking queen,” baby!
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.
Another TikTok questions how DeSantis was the same height as Nikki Haley at last week’s debate, even though they’re both listed as 5′ 9″, and the ex-South Carolina governor was definitely wearing heels herself.
We may no longer have any moral standards when it comes to electing presidents, but we still care about height. Every president since Jimmy Carter has been 5’11” or taller.
Donald Trump stands at 6’3″, and Joe Biden is six feet tall.
With that in mind, DeSantis has been sporting black cowboy boots for years. His wife, Casey, who was a TV news anchor before becoming “America’s Karen,” insisted he wear them 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.
During his futile campaign, DeSantis has cultivated the image of a brave culture warrior, fighting against pronouns and books. He needs to project leadership, an attribute often associated with tall people.
Those big boy boots are helping “Meatball Ron” achieve his dream! (Or not, because his poll numbers stink, but regardless!)
DeSantis isn’t the first undersized Florida Republican to don heels during campaign season. Marco Rubio, whose failed 2016 run resembles the governor’s current efforts, was spotted wearing shiny black boots on a visit to New Hampshire.
But in Rubio’s defense, at least that’s some fashionable footwear. DeSantis can improve upon his beat up-looking pair.
While DeSantis’ boots increase his height, they aren’t helping his poll numbers. He remains down 20 points in Iowa, and has lost one percentage point since the first Republican debate in August.
DeSantis has participated in two primetime events, and failed to gain any ground.
This week, a New Hampshire poll shows Nikki Haley is now leading him in the Granite State. (Back in January, DeSantis actually led Trump in New Hampshire, if you can believe that.)
Despite those sagging numbers, DeSantis is still running for president, and bilking his supporters for more money.
With the Iowa Caucus roughly three months away, DeSantis might not have much time left. He’s counting on the Hawkeye State, even moving his staff over there.
In the meantime, he’ll keep strutting his underwhelming stuff in front of dwindling crowds. Maybe some seasoned drag queens can give DeSantis pointers on how to walk the stage with purpose.
Oh, the delicious irony…

Iowa GOP caucus winners include Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. So, DeSanctus is following in some footsteps.

Santorum. OMG.

While I despise DeSantis, as someone who is 5’7” myself, I can understand his plight! If those boots weren’t so damn ugly I might be tempted to try a pair. Or not.

Exactly. I get really annoyed when “we” as a community decide it’s fine to make fun of people for their appearance and height, as long as we disagree with them politically. If he was a dem, we’d say he’s a short king and be celebrating his style etc etc.

There are/were DEMS that were made fun of by dems.

Terry: No, I’d still make fun of them.

I think it is hysterical that he is in the closet with secret high heels every time he rails publicly about the evils of drag. Of course after the laughing I have to remember the hypocracy and hate for personal gain that really are the key parts of this guy’s being.

I forgot that shoes with this high a heel used to be called “f me shoes.” I guess they still are.

Trump is definitely NOT 6’3″ – even his NYS driver’s license says 6’2″. He’s probably 6′ (and 280 pounds).
And we already know the reason for DeSaster’s high heels, it’s in case of flooding which happens more & more in Florida.
abfab
More like 380. And with his poor posture he is now down to 5′ 10” He’s always humped over….in shame.
abfab
Those black booties are hysterical.

“insufferable Bill Maher” he’s a leftist but believes in fairness in women’s sports, to the unhinged radicals that makes him insufferable. Bizarre!
Terry
Er… he decided to cross a picket line because he felt like it. Thats enough for everyone to stop watching his show. Unions are the only thing that are stopping many of us from being on the breadline. Oh and Maher isn’t a sensible centrist, which is what you’re implying. He used to be. Now he’s just a contrarian. (And I AGREE with him about women’s sports AND about various other things. But he also let Milo Yuck on his show to spew vile nonsense, etc etc etc. Maher just likes to stir the pot. He’s not helping us.)

Ron is so typical of a wimp, he has to wear boots to appear taller when he is shorter.

DeFascist’s pump-boots don’t suit him in the least. But then neither did those white knee highs. He’s a mess no matter much he and Frau Casey keep trying.
