First Lady Casey DeSantis addressed ugly personal insults that she has heard in recent years, including comparisons to the fictional “Eddie Munster” of 1960s sitcom fame and Melania Trump.
During an interview with Dana Loesch on The First TV, DeSantis was unsparing in describing how these barbs affected her, and how she pushed through and overcame them.
The First Lady experienced the Eddie Munster insult at the height of her recovery from breast cancer, while she balanced official duties and an arduous healing process.
“That’s why when they criticize my hair now in these stupid articles or whatever, my hairline and they want to make fun of me — and you know, I’m trending with Eddie Munster, you know, online on Twitter — and it’s like, ‘Man, if you knew the half of it, you would not be saying a lot of this stuff because I’m just thankful that I have a hairline, OK?'”
DeSantis also described her difficulty with hairpieces amid her hair loss during treatment.
“There was a time where, you know, I really struggled with some of the wigs because, you know, that’s your image. And so there were some that I thought were good. And I remember going out and doing an event where I was like, that was awful,” she said.
“Like I will never wear that wig as long as I threw it away and it was not a good look. I learned though that I will never, you know, God willing when I get my hair back, I’m never going to do that look ever again.”
In addition to describing her struggles as cancer struck her, DeSantis also again addressed the “Walmart Melania” diss.
“They’ve also called me Walmart Melania, which by the way, being in the same sentence with Melania, I consider that a major victory,” DeSantis noted, again saying she does stop at the store.
DeSantis has addressed this nickname on a couple of occasions.
She described it as a “win” in Keosauqua, Iowa, at an October tour stop sponsored by the Ron DeSantis-aligned Never Back Down super PAC.
She also discussed the intended insult during an August appearance on the Ruthless Podcast.
“They refer to me as the ‘Walmart Melania.’ And so I just had a beer. I can’t imagine what the media is going to say now as a result of all of this,” the First Lady quipped.

I never participated in this. But the Eddie Munster meme had nothing to do with her hair. People were obsessed with her shaped eyebrows. If you go back to 2018 before the cancer she still has the same eyebrows. This is the problem with Team Desantis. They always have to lie and distort and play the victim.

You mean the fake eyebrows that team Trump/Dilly had posted on X.

It’s not just the eyebrows, or just the nose, mouth or hair.
She looks like Eddie Munster in all ways.
Do a side by side of their Wikipedia pics.
Uncanny.

Ì personally thought “Tacky-O” was much funnier.
But I’d certainly never mock a cancer victim on a wig.

People do not like Ron, and by extension, they do not like her, but mostly for the direction she is taking this campaign. Many thhink she is the one calling the shots, and responsible for many of Ron’s hateful rrhetoric and actions. She’s a public figure and it comes with the territory. A lot of people with memories are simply appalled by her invocation of Jackie O. Casey is no Jackie O and never will be.

Melania is the only First Lady where America got to see her pussy.
Not that I care but you know Ivanka has nude pics out there from when she was like 15 or something . That family is just trash.
And Casey IS lying, Eddie Munster wasn’t her hair but her overall look and eyebrows.

You’re an impersonator and as a GOPer as likely a bestiphile.

She won an Emmy for this, Champion The JT Townsend Story
She deserved the Emmy. She has been doing things with her life, ever since she was a youngin, and recognizes the spirit to live, to achieve, in all people.
I’m not too fond of the lack of civility these days, the lack of regard for the dignity for our fellow human beings.
These comments on here can’t be the best of the people commenting, nor the best of this United States. It just can’t be, but if it is, then this country is in a lot of trouble.

Casey Desantis was a tv news reporter and tv glitter commentator! One day poor little Casey was just too tired to READ the news! Her choice was She looked at camera and said “Yada Yada”. Casey is just as out of touch with reality as Ron! Get the Desantis MAGA cult members out of Florida!

She was a newsroom train wreck and WJXT in Jacksonville didn’t renew her.

She’s as thinned skin as he is. You can tell it really got to her. She’s a feckless social climbing fake.
For someone that used to be on the news She sure doesn’t speak well. I guess she and that Harvard grad husband of hers like to play dumb. That’s certainly what she did when she was on the noon show in Jacksonville.

She is a dead ringer for Eddie Munster and not just the Fake eyebrows. Funny. DeSantis campaign is like the titanic after it hit the iceberg. Listing and ready to sink for good.
