Ron DeSantis is being urged by a right-wing influencer to put his presidential campaign on hold out of deference to Donald Trump.
Talk show host Charlie Kirk on Friday suggested DeSantis “go to Miami” and put his 2024 bid on hold “for the heroes of our nation.”
“DeSantis would look like a hero, I don’t think he’s going to do it because he’s getting bad advice,” Kirk said, as transcribed by Media Matters.
“Here’s what Governor DeSantis should do. He should go to Miami and say, this is my state. This is disgusting. This is awful. I’m not going to put up with this, and I’m putting my presidential campaign on temporary hold to show support, not for Trump, not for this because you know we’re in a spat right now and we both want to be President,” Kirk urged.
Kirk’s comments are obviously in the context of 37 federal counts Trump faces regarding his retention of classified documents, including 31 alleged violations of the National Espionage Act.
The right-wing talker urged “support for the people that stormed Normandy beach, support for the people that sacrificed for this country, support for the people that built this. For John Adams, for Thomas Jefferson, for James Madison, for John Jay, for Abraham Lincoln, for the heroes of this nation.”
DeSantis does not seem to be taking Kirk’s advice, though we do have a request for comment out to his campaign Saturday morning.
The Governor has worked a sympathetic presentation of Trump’s latest indictment and legal issues into his stump speech, as evidenced by remarks in North Carolina Friday evening.
“When I was in Congress, I remember, you know, Hillary Clinton had the e-mails with the classified and my view was, ‘Well, gee, you know, as a naval officer, if I would have taken classified to my apartment, I would have been court martialed in a New York minute.’ And yet they seem to not care about that,” lamented DeSantis.
The Governor then asked, seemingly rhetorically, if there was a “different standard for a Democrat Secretary of State versus a former Republican President.”

Republicans are genetically programmed with whining about “the other guy” when they themselves commit the criminal acts.
Not a single Democrat testified in what Trump refers to as the BOX HOAX. Every piece of evidence whether it was a text message, an email, a show and tell map meeting or a phone conversation INVOLVED ONLY TRUMP ACOLYTES AND / REPUBLICANS.
……. But somehow Biden’s 1800 boxes with an alarming 18 confidential documents that were readily turned back to Archives is a ‘double standard!’
Republicans are America’s biggest problem!
Vote all Republicans out of office!
Americans need to read the charging documents and understand the great lengths Trump went to to deceive the government, his underlings, and his lawyers!

Ron Should Pardon Trump
June 10, 2023 at 10:32 am
Ron DeSantis promised to pardon Trump on day one of a DeSantis Presidency. Ron is already being paid as the Governor of Florida. Ron could stop these Florida legal proceedings against Trump right now, but they’re not going to are they. Because Rhonda is a weak liar. Litler knows he can’t defeat Orange Hitler, so Litler’s going to let it all play out in court.

Maybe Rhonda could send the Florida National Guard to Texas and then leave them there while Miami burns tomorrow.

Mayor Suarez needs to be on the tele all day today demanding Rhonda send FNG to Miami for Pee Wee’s Big Adventure tomorrow at the federal court house.

No one can help Trump now! He’s dug his own grave, now he has to live with the consequences. Hopefully, and I say Hopefully because with the assigned judge is a Trump appointed judge who has Trump’s back. She could gum up the works by delaying the trial until after the election. I f Trump were to win the presidency he will pardon himself. I hope that doesn’t happen but I’m not going to hold my breath. Trump always finds a way to wiggle out of every thing and this isn’t any different. Hopefully Biden wins another term and shuts Trump down for good. Now that would help everyone!

So you don’t mind being on the verge of a nuclear war. You’re ok with being at war with both Russia and China simoultaniously! Guess you enjoyed the lockdowns, mandatory vaccines, bet you are all up to date with the clot shots too!
Bet your ok with having our strategic oil reserve being drained to reduce the per gallon price by 5 cents. How about inflation, so for this year @ 3.9 %, last year over 8.0%, you must like paying $6.00 for a dozen eggs. I would bet that you don’t take any prescription meds, because since China makes all of them for the US market there won’t be any to be had if we go to war with China. Bet you are ok with a president who can’t string two sentences together to make a coherent thought, go up a flight of stairs, or walk off a stage or ride a bike without falling on his ass. Bet your ok with I’m sniffing little girls hair, or whispering sweet nothings into their. How about the 5 million in cash he got as a bribe grom Ukrainian oil/gas company, or his son Hunter engaging crack abuse, and having sex with underage girls. Guess you don’t mind when he was VP, gin threatening the president of Ukraine that if he didn’t fire the Ukranian attorney general. ( who was investigating the gas company Hunter worked for and it’s involvement in corruption) or he would withhold financial aid to Ukraine. Guess you are ok with him having secret governments in his unsecure garage next to his Corvette, as those documents were taken when he was VP, which was illegal. Guess you don’t mind biden weaponizing the FBI, declaring parents going up against school boards as domestic terrorists, simply because parents wanted a say in what masking rules the school boards could impose on their children. Guess you are ok with a government without a spending limit until 1/1/25, estimated to add 4 trillion to the national debt.
These are gust some of the issues I disagree with that apparently your fine with. To me that’s clear indication you shouldn’t be allowed to vote as you are too ignorant to cast an informed ballot!

Sterilizing kids, that is a technique for mosquito control. Within the USA it’s only been tried in, of all places, where else, Florida. Despite dinging it with “Florida” just to be funny, I actually think it’s a great strategy for mosquito control. Thank you for giving it a platform here.

If anyone with a brain reads the indictment they will understand he is GUILTY. He never should of had the documents in the 1st place. Does not take a rocket scientist to see his guilt. First Stormy Daniels the rape charges, the NY with false tax information and now 7 more federal counts. When is enough for Republicans….Oh never because they are intelligent enough to know right from wrong. Ron Desantis is a snake in the grass and should never be elected president when he has ruined the State of Floirda. Us Floridians are forced into his cult and the state lives by his religious beliefs and what he wants not the people of the state. Dangerous man very dangerous man

Ron DeSantis is a dangerous man. Unlike Trump, Ron is educated, well-read, and highly motivated. He pushes the envelope on what he legally can do as a governor. He has no problem with pushing people around and doesn’t care if anyone likes him or not, as long as he gets his agenda passed. He saw how favorable he looked during the pandemic with his “freedom” speeches and now adds anti-woke baloney. He will continue to violate real actual constitutional freedoms if he sits in the White House.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis’ campaign is under fire now from his own recent State laws he passed, and the legal complications continue to pile up. The backlash from his frankly bigoted stances and obviously unconstitutional laws have killed his chances beyond the Florida State GOP primary as voters in other states look at his electability in general, and his current popularity poll numbers are dismal.
He should simply grab whatever dignity he has for another time, as this year is simply beyond his grasp. His attempts to gather other GOP States behind his wagon have failed.

He has already done many Good Things…….but there is still a Major Issue in FL…..That is The COST of Insurance???????? This is a Serious Issue in this state….Insurance companies are raising home and car Insurance by thousands of Dollars each year!!!!!!! This year was an Extremely large increase……Many people who do not have High Dollar Jobs….can’t afford the insurance just to even go to work, Never mind the Seniors who need to get to stores and Doctors!!!!!!

Gov. DeSantis is not presidential material. He’s too soft. We need extra alpha male to save USA. This is, sadly to say, not the man. Good Governor, yes, but not President. You already have terrible, weak, old man with dementia fake President who didn’t even really win!! Stupid stupid Americans. Only one man can save your country for a little while..you know who..you are all on great path of destruction if u don’t see this fact. Be careful now… They bend their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not truth has grown strong in the land (USA); for they (corrupt politicians) proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know me, ( they reject Jesus as Lord) declares the Lord. But take note..God wins. U will see great calamity but run to God. Trump is not perfect perhaps not a Christian but God uses the foolish things of world to confound the “wise.” (The know it all dumb elites ) Trump won the 2020 election. It doesn’t matter how hard people try to ignore this. It’s the truth. Trump won. That is why you saw such outrage over election. Only those blinded by evil with compromised sold out souls believe Biden won. They are lost and hopeless.
