Regardless of where inside of the conservative spectrum you sit, thereās no bigger tell than being silent as the largest and heavily funded political hit job against Donald Trump rages on.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did not address the looming arrest and possible indictment against the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump this past weekend.
Even as Republicans of all shapes and sizes - from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Roy Rogers enjoyer Chris Christie to Mike (Judas) Pence and newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy all chose to get on the record and do so.
Which is why you should want to weigh in on such a pivotal moment in history when, if the opposition party wins the White House and then proceeds to fill our federal agencies m, courts and government offices with radical, biased, political opposition to the party in the minority, then you can expect to potentially face extinction in the years between elections.
Instead, the Florida-based, paid influencer industrial complex made up entirely of establishment-linked RINO Republicans and grifting influencers who garnered massive followings off of Donald Trump the initial MAGA movement only to walk away for who they feel is next in line for the White House made the rounds and made excuses for DeSantis throughout the weekend on social media.
As revenge hires like current U.S. Attorney General, Merrick Garland and foreign-influenced, George Soros-backed District Attorneys like New Yorkās Alvin Bragg continue to destabilize our domestic justice system, there seems to be no plausible end to the attacks on our freedoms and our conservative, anti-establishment leaders in sight.
Donald Trump has faced this reality first as a candidate beginning in 2015, throughout the course of his first term in office and even now, as the leader of the Republican Party and as the heavily favored and presumed nominee for the general election in 2024.
Currently, the best that the globalist, billionaire donor class and Deep State can do is hang three paper-thin, legally weak, Hail Mary, possible indictments (NY - Stormy Horseface Daniels, GA - perfect phone call vol. 2 and DC- for Jan. 6th) over the former presidentās head.
Which is why Ron DeSantisā silence screamed louder than words over the weekend and why it may be final nail regarding his already flailing presidential aspirations, especially for the upcoming 2024 cycle.
When the Florida Governor finally decided to address the possible Trump legal battles today, his prepared statement regarding the matter ("I donāt know what goes into paying hush money to a porn starā) was nothing short of robotic, unauthentic and lacked emotion - WATCH:
Rather than choose to run as a MAGA adjacent, much like was the case in his come from behind victory in the 2018 Florida Governorās race, the DeSantis team, whoās already facing internal chaos decided that running as the establishment, Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan and Karl Rove type is a much more digestible pill for conservatives to swallow after his reelection win in the fall of 2022.
That decision has been a milestone to the still unofficial campaign since being finalized and reports are now circulating from inside DeSantis World that notable names like former Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt (currently a DeSantis team lawyer) and former NY gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, either already want to get off of or donāt even want to get onto the DeSantis bus for his potential presidential run.
The DeSantis message has not yet began to resonate nationally, especially when compared head-to-head with Donald Trump. He is becoming less likable as a potential candidate even before heās officially announced his intention to run and is being shoved into a mold and a box by his handlers and donors that appear to make him seem visibly uncomfortable in both public speaking appearances and prerecorded interview events.
DeSantis could have put a lot of the rumors of real division between himself and Donald Trump to bed this past weekend by simply acting with a little compassion and by swallowing a tiny bit of pride. It would have been good for the party, and even more importantly been galvanizing to the movement.
After his tone deaf remarks today there should be no doubt as to what the MAGA movement is up against as the Presidential Primary Season is finally starting to heat up.
Very few people within the party did anything to help carry out Donald Trumpās mandate for the American people who elected him to office during his first term as President.
That circle is going to be considerably smaller and have to work much smarter if we are going to have any chance at finishing the job in 2024.
Thank God that the man leading the movement, when at his best, appears to have been anointed to do so.
