Some may call Casey DeSantis nasty names, such as “America’s Karen,” “Walmart Melania” or a “Jackie O. (Kennedy) wannabe,” or criticize her distinctive eyebrows, but Florida’s First Lady says she’s unfazed.
“One thing that the corporate media did get right about me: I do shop at Walmart,” Mrs. DeSantis said on the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends.”
“I think it’s interesting and you probably can sympathize with this when they come after you and they’re just calling you names. That means they don’t want to litigate the merits of their case. They don’t want to have that conversation. They want to call you names, they want to try to get you to back down. But I can tell you the No. 1 thing — we will not back down when it comes to our family,” the First Lady added.
Ron DeSantis had previously offered commentary on the “America’s Karen” insult. He told “Varney and Co.” viewers on the Fox Business Network that the nickname, conferred on MSNBC by David Jolly, just meant the Left was threatened by his wife.
The Governor said then that he and his wife “wear criticism from MSNBC as a badge of honor.”
“It shows my wife is an incredibly strong First Lady of Florida, a fantastic mother and a great wife and that threatens the Left. So she and I kind of shrug it off because we know it just shows they view her as a threat because the message that she was bringing in Iowa about the rights of parents and how we are not going to take this anymore with the left trying to indoctrinate our kids,” DeSantis told Varney.
“They understand that that resonates not just with Republican parents, with independent parents and, yes, with Democrat parents. And so I think that they’re very worried about her effectiveness.”

“Criticism is flattery! ” At least according to the Rhonda campaign.
“China is our mortal enemy!” Except for the red dot specials up at the WalMarts.
LOL @ Stupid Rhonda. How’d you get so stupid, Rhonda? How?

Ron played college baseball, on an Ivy League scholarship, before aseball helmets had the chin protector added. Clearly he must have taken a lot of balls on the chin, resulting in the severe dain bramage they display today.

Or perhaps they are accurate descriptions of your dumb and awful personality, Casey.

The insults, lies, bigotry and hate you’ve hurled against the people you target are simply coming back at you! Your entire campaign is based on turning Americans against other Americans – what do you expect?

Queen Rhonda and 0.5His Harpy. His Harridan.
The Smiling Scold.
Florida’s Fascist Fishwife.
Bigotry’s Banshee.
Trump’s derisive namecalling has freed us all now to do the same. Challenges one’s creativity. But fairness is no limitation.

Wrongway Ron and the “Raccoon”- she looks like a raccoon with all the excessive makeup. That mamas for desantis crap is gross pandering at its worst. Why not do something in Florida for someone other than your “Secret” guests at the state residence, Desantis is all about behind the scenes pandering to his big money donors..

If Casey were a Pat Nixon, just a supporting smile standing behind (figuratively and literally) her family pol, it would be unfair to ridicule her deeply.
But she is not.

Casey is nothing but the co conspirator of a corrupt racist sexist pig raising her own version of the Hitler youth. She is compared to malaria because they are two of a kind, no ability to support themselves so they hitch their wagons to the most despicable creeps on the planet hoping to give their pathetic lives some sort of meaning. Quit your whining and get a real job Casey. You and your wanna be dictator husband will never get near the White House.

Merit Litigation

I’ll litigate the merits of elbow length gloves in Florida in July
#1 – They hide tiny hand shaped bruises on the forearms
#2 – They hide needle tracks
Your turn, Rhonda. What you got, little guy? Let’s hear it!

Will Casey stick with loser DeStuntis?

LOLS. Nope. Aint NO way. The very moment she realizes the wheels fell off the wagon she hitched herself to, she’s out. And I bet she doesn’t want the kids. And I bet Rhonda doesn’t want them either. And I bet the kids all go to the orphanage where they will be sold to Russia.

DeSantis and his sycophant legislators had failed Floridians. They have adopted and tried to enforce ideology based out of a Nazi playbook. But Florida and America is better than that. It’s time to vote these bigots and racist out of office. DeSantis should resign immediately and drop out of the presidential race. He should be investigated for abuse of power and corruption, and if guilty of such crimes should be imprisoned.. he is trying to steal America from the freedoms that this country stands on
