He shows he’s a chip off the old Trump block
He’s running, all right. And he’s going right at the heart of MAGA:
Florida GOP Gov. Ron Desantis is taking part in a very closely watched tour to Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio and Pennsylvania. On Sunday, DeSantis was in Phoenix for an event with Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters and GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
DeSantis took a swipe at the FBI and Justice Department over the search of former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago to retrieve classified documents (h/t Aaron Navarro of CBS News):
“These agencies have now been weaponized to be used against people that the government doesn’t like, and you look at the raid at Mar-A-Lago…”
“Maybe someone here can remind me about when they did a search warrant at Hillary’s house in Chappaqua.”
DeSantis also mocked President Joe Biden over having Covid: “How many times did he test positive for Covid?” More than 78,000 people in Florida have died of Covid since the pandemic started, but hey, it’s a good joke, right?
Ain’t he sweet?
Think about that when you hear certain Never Trumpers bellyaching about their brethren who aren’t rushing back to the GOP to work for DeSantis.
