Gov. Ron DeSantis dissed Florida’s history during his latest out-of-state political junket.
In the Granite State addressing the New Hampshire GOP at the Amos Tuck Dinner, the Governor suggested Floridians were not proud of the state before he arrived on the political scene.
“I was born and raised in Florida, and it’s only been recently that we’ve developed a sense of state pride ourselves,” DeSantis said. “We’re proud to have stood up for freedom in the last few years when it wasn’t easy. We did it our own way and I’m proud of that.”
“But I must admit we draw inspiration from the people here in New Hampshire,” DeSantis continued. “Because more than any other state, you don’t mince words when it comes to your stand on liberty. You say it very clearly: Live Free or Die.”
This was the second speech in two days where DeSantis seemed to dis the Sunshine State, where he was born and raised, in an introduction.
Continuing his recent commitment to swing state intersectionality, DeSantis told an Ohio crowd he was one of them.
The Governor, addressing the Butler County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, said Thursday that he represented so-called “Ohio values.”
“I can stand here representing Ohio values because the two most important women in my life (are from Ohio),” DeSantis said. “My mother is from Youngstown, and my wife is from Troy, and so my family reflects your family.”

More and more a Trump wannabe with each passing day. “Look at me! Everybody loves me ‘cause I do such great stuff! Florida stunk until I came along!” Pathetic little fascist.

DeSatan really believes his own media! What an ass hole. He and MT Greene would make a good match.Aunt Martha would come out swinging.
He only received 1/4 of the registered vote. where are these ppl because no one even wants to admit they still live in Fl. It’s going to take a Democrat 10 years to get out of the mess that this AH has made of Fl. We have lost the doctors, nurses and teachers. Any good parent has moved their kids out of the state to get an education. My niece is waiting till the school year end but her 14 yr old is saving all her used Tampons to drop off at his office.
Disney just get him out of our lives. Sue him, the state, bankrupt it, and we can come back. Without Desatan and all his MAGAt minion lap sitters in the legislature.

I’m confused. He claims that Florida finally has pride, but it seems to me he is trying to drive pride back into the closet or out of the state.

Yeah, real proud that my homeowners insurance rates just got jacked up to pay for those risky Citizen’s policies that no rational insurance company will write! So proud to choke on red tide toxins while I stroll on the beach looking for dead manatees! Real proud that New College got turned into Anal Roberts University!

Floridians love freedom, especially if it means reducing freedom of others. Freedom is a zero sum game with this dumbass. I am embarrassed for Florida. I had pride when Askew and Graham were in office.

Good evening America,
Ron’s right conservatives in Florida just had a few RINO Senators to lead them prior to Ron. Now Florida conservatives have a leader to rally behind. Need proof? Just read some of the comments here at FP.
The way the lefties are commenting shows they are quaking in their booties. Its going to be fun watching lefties scream at the sky for the 32 years of conservative rule of the USA. For you math challanged lefties 32 years is the next 8 Presidental terms in office.
Thank you America,

To the person who writes the Earl Pitts American pieces: kudos on the commitment to your craft. Your satire is consistent and frequently entertaining. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Sir,
One of my main motivaters is the fact leftists have no sense of humor, cant take a joke, and think words will physically harm or even…shudder…kill them.
Leftists are so predictable and fun to get stirred up!!!!
Thank you Anerica,

This guy signs a bill under cover of darkness in a different state that the vast minority of his constituents support while his state is having epic floods while drawing a tax funded salary and flips the bird to the people that voted for him from Ohio!!

Did he REALLY have the nerve to sign that in a different state? I thought he made a lightning visit back to Florida to sign it.
If he didn’t, he needs to be recalled by Florida voters. Voters need to get the State back! He won by such a narrow margin, he’s going to have to pass some law to prevent him being wiped out in the next election. Chance of being ‘president’? I have a better chance.

Who writes his speeches? Are they trying to make him seem delusional or is he honestly that out of it?

Typical of a human male surrounded by suck-ups feeding him all the treats in the house. He needs a good bite on the ankle. Grrrrrr.
