Gov. Ron DeSantis is fuming over media framing of Florida’s First Lady.
Recent reporting has examined Casey DeSantis’ influence on her husband, prompting the Florida Governor to lament a double standard in the media.
During a radio interview after he launched his presidential campaign, the Governor said that if Mrs. DeSantis weren’t conservative, she would be feted in the world of high fashion.
“If she were a Democrat, she’d be on every fashion magazine. … They would be making her out to be the biggest deal. But because we’re conservative, we know that that’s not what happens. In reality, it will be the opposite, where they try to really attack,” DeSantis said on the Mark Levin Show.
The Governor went on to say Mrs. DeSantis is being attacked because “she is an incredibly effective First Lady.”
“She’s somebody that people look up to,” the Governor said. “Not just women, although many of the women in Florida who have gone through breast cancer look at her as a role model for how she handled it.”
“She’s made huge improvements to communities in Florida by helping underprivileged people,” he continued. “And she believes in the values of the country and she can articulate that in a way that people really get excited about.”
The Governor then lauded his wife as his “best friend.”
“She’s a great wife, a great mother. But I’ll tell you when I’m out there on the campaign trail, there is nobody I would rather have by my side than Casey DeSantis. And the corrupt media knows that. They know she’s good. So they’re going to try to fabricate stories about her.”
DeSantis contended that “our voters see through this,” and know “the only reason they’re going after her is because she’s effective.”
“They know when they’re doing the anonymous sources that it’s all fabricated BS. And so we take it in stride, we know this is just something that happens when you get into these things.”

She dresses like she devoted her entire life to being a Disney Princess in the land that tried to kill Mickey by her husband’s stinky little hands. While that princess Disney look faded in 1955, Florida’s Miss Casey stands firmly in that sacred year. Sadly, she stands alone except for a few hundred other 6 year olds.

lol it looks like DeSantis just exposed another one of his many weaknesses. He’s a very small man. And the fact is the minute he decided that he wanted to play tough guy with the world and make Florida dystopia. Nothing is off-limits.
And she puts her self out there all the time. And they exploit their children every time they turn around because they want to look like this wholesome family.
The fact is is that she’s of the Macbeth.

Why don’t “Conservatives” have fashion magazines? It’s confusing! One minute they’re clutching their pearls; the next minute, they want a fashion shot straddling a Lamborghini. Why is Ron trying to sell his wife on us? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I hear she has an ugly disposition! If Ron thinks that his wife is an extraordinarily gifted Conservative, because she runs behind him and picks up the “underprivileged” that he’s disenfranchised, well, that’s nothing to brag about!

I use the name used by the bullies of Ron DeSantis that made Ron who he is today, full of hatred and trying to get back at the world. The bullying is still written all over his face, decades later, and you can hear it his own pronunciation of his last name. Every time he enunciates Ron DEE Santis, it’s a confession that his issue with everybody on the planet stems from being beat up by bullies when he was a child, with those bullies yelling “Why are hitting yourself in the face, Rhonda?” If you pronounce Ron’s last name the way a normal human would, it sounds like Dah Santis.. Ron Dah Santis. Rhonda. I am calling him out on being a sad weak little bullied child even as he is paid to be Florida’s Governor but instead runs a campaign to be the second consecutive child put up by the GOP. One might argue Joe Biden is so old he might be declining back to a child like existence dependent on others, but he was at least an adult for a long, long time, unlike Trump or Rhonda, both still crybabies on the inside, and on the outside too.
It's Complicated

He’s not wrong. The media will absolutely not (positively) promote her. In fact, the media has already launched a coordinated messaging attach against Casey DeSantis, complete with anonymous stories about how strategic, cutthroat, cunning and vindictive she is.
Don’t get me wrong. I believe she is a powerful force behind her husband and his political career, but I do not believe she is some sort of Machiavellian puppeteer.

If he truly believes that it’s because she’s “conservative,” or because she’s the “wife of a conservative politician” that she’s not been on the cover of fashion magazines then quite frankly Ron DeSantis is going fully nuts. PLENTY of conservative women have been on the cover of fashion-related magazines, just not Casey DeSantis. Who cares, other than those two crazies?

He has to push the narrative that conservatives are picked on by the liberal media I guess. I do find it interesting that he believes he can win a national election by just playing in conservative ‘safe spaces’ like Fox and basically telling independents and democrats to bugger off. I guess math wasn’t his strong subject while he was at his hifalutin colleges.

She thinks she’s the second incarnation of Jackie O. She’s not.
No one will ever replace Jackie O. She was smart, sophisticated, an accomplished writer, editor, who brought artists and cultural cache to the White House and Washington DC.
DeSantis, like all authoritarians, holds nothing but disdain for artists, intellectuals, and anyone who speaks truth – or is enlightened. His and her petty grievances are repellant. Anyone can buy fashion – but style is another dimension,
Mark Stevens

Ron is correct in stating his wife is beautiful and probably not on magazine covers as a result of her conservatism!

She’s got a big black strap-on. Ron knows it well. Ron is scared of it. The proof is in the pudding: Ron pudding on those white boots. She told Ron “It’s the white boots on the feet or the black strap-on in the back door again. It’s your choice.” Ron chose the white boots. To his surprise, he got the strap-on python anyways that night when he got home. Proof? Just look at his face. By the by, Ron’s book banning thing was all a misunderstanding. He thought he was negotiating his way out of wearing those boots again.

Oh please. Both Bush wives got magazine covers, Sarah Palin got plenty, and despite Trump’s lies, Melania was being considered for another Vogue shoot until her team got nasty with the Vogue editorial staff. Casey would absolutely be on magazine covers if her husband and his team weren’t so volatile to mainstream media — a strategy she had a hand in crafting. There’s always that Evie magazine, a fashion magazine for conservative women, that she can pose for. But something tells me this false victimization of her is intentional strategy on their part.

If anyone is supporting her because she overcame breast cancer, anyone with any brains should know that breast cancer can come back on you and especially with lots of stress. How much more stress could one have on themselves than running as the wife of a presidential candidate who has already voiced his opinions on all of those so-called “outcasts” he sees running around this country and turned people in his own state against him even before he has ever been elected as an official runner? This woman is NO Jackie Kennedy. She is NOT that pretty, has a conceited look on her face and it is apparently one of those women who bow down to her husband’s every whim and jumps when he says jump. It didn’t work with Melania, and it won’t work with Casey DeSantis.

Serious voters with a brain need to visit johnstossel.com and see how libertarian Stossel challenges DeSantis for an hour on every key issue. Forget slogans and emotional attacks. Listen to a true conservative who rebuilt Florida. Media hates him because they want to defeat Trump again. Give up one hour to understand the smartest, boldest GOP candidate, not a wise-cracking entertainer who promised a wall and had a great fall. DeSantis doesn’t smile much, head too full of facts. But he could save your country.

Just as media reliably demonizes every Republican candidate for the presidency as they provide sycophantic coverage for Democrats, the entertainment media reliably excludes Republican First Ladies, despite their superior outer and inner beauty to Democrat first ladies, from their magazine covers. The Left corrupts every institution they touch and they have near total control of the media.
