Gov. Ron DeSantis doesn’t enjoy hearing the media attacking First Lady Casey DeSantis.
Yet during a recent interview, he contextualized the so-called “smear” campaign against her as proof that she is “over the target” and “effective.”
“I don’t mind the criticism to me,” DeSantis told Megyn Kelly this week.
“Like I know people that don’t want me to succeed or not going to say good things. That’s just the reality. That’s just how it is. It’s par for the course. It’s not as easy seeing it with your wife just because clearly this is a good person. You know, she’s a good mother, has been a great First Lady. and they just don’t like the fact that she’s effective.”
“They don’t like the fact that she’s speaking to issues that really do resonate and they view her as a threat to their political ambitions. And so what do they do? They try to smear her, they try to attack her for all these different things. But she and I though have come to the realization, if she was not doing a good job, if she was not a force to be reckoned with, they would not waste time on her.”
The Governor went on to explain further how Casey DeSantis translates to national audiences.
“So in some respects, it’s confirmation that she’s over the target and when you’re over the target, you’re taking flack and that’s just the nature of it. So I don’t like to see it, but I also understand that they’re seeing what so many people in Florida have seen. She’s a very dynamic, very strong, very inspirational woman and there’s a lot of moms out there that are, that she’s going to resonate with.”
DeSantis has commented before on how media frames his wife, including suggesting she would be on the cover of fashion magazines if she were liberal. While he didn’t repeat that to Kelly, what’s clear from his comments that ran Friday is that, just as was the case with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton more than 30 years ago, the First Couple is a package.

I have seen claims that she is really in charge and also is a source of some (much?) of the hate. The latter could be a smear . . . if untrure.

Criticism of Rhonda or Mrs Rhonda is a compliment that means they are highly effective and much loved
Criticism of other by Rhonda or Mrs Rhonda is because the others are horrible disgusting scum that are coming for our children.
Got it, Rhonda. Dip stick.

Someone did say she looks like a raccoon.
I take no position.
Illiterate Jill spelled C-A-S-E-Y

Jill Black l (who identifies as ‘Casey’) was tossed from Jacksonville TV WJXT as unintelligible. You think Ron is dumb? Jill cannot read or write.

How do these people make it through universities and remain so poorly equipped to communicate?
Ivy League! Two! Law school!
And College of Charleston is a decent school.

She is entitled to her own religious beliefs, but they are wacky – believing a divine entity put her current husband on earth to fight… though it’s all vague regarding what he is fighting for or against. She’s either channeling Jackie O with those opera gloves, or copying Sarah Palin with her grizzly mammas, but she offers nothing original or unique. But since she is the one calling the shots, she’s fair game, and like Rhonda, will never be loved because neither one of them is even remotely likable. And they use their kids (and others) as props.

Thanks A.G. for running the Megyn Kelly story in Florida Politics. Great reporting as always. Here’s my take on this…Casey can more than handle comments about her abilities, appearance, decisions, et al… She’s a professional broadcaster and very good at it, working with all types of people, issues for many many years. She is no shrinking violet and knows her worth and abilities. No need to worry about her in the political realm. Megyn and Casey have alot in common as media pros with high stakes politics and public sentiment. They know what they’re doing every step of the way.

If true, if Casey knows what she’s doing, she must be actively working to sink Ron’s campaign, because that is what’s happening.

this man is off his rocker the GOP attack Hillary Clinton when Bill Clinton ran for President they attack Michelle Obama just the same when Barack Obama ran for President the Gop wnet as far as to have a painting of Barack and Michelle as musilism terrorists so I say Casey is fair gain to and i say they that she is a racist white women i say this this because support her racist husband ideals and that is the way it is until she speak out against ron the racist small man desantis racist policites towords black people/LGBQT+ PEOPLE /HISPANCIS PEOPLE she is a racist white woman by acespting her husband racists policies so he can cry all he want to and she can cry out that she is not a racist white woman but until she speak out against his policies she is racist
Thunder Vest

My dog is really scared of thunder. The vet recommended a so-called Thunder Coat. It didn’t help.
Is Ron’s summer vest a Thunder Vest for his social anxiety or whatever his problem is?
Same as my dog’s thunder coat, Ron’s vest does not help. Not one bit. Or God help us all, what if hist vest DOES help Ron?
