Florida’s Governor has been feuding with Nikki Haley about who is the best Donald Trump alternative in the 2024 GOP field. But on one issue at least, Ron DeSantis agrees with his rival from the Palmetto State.
Asked about Vivek Ramaswamy’s attacks on the former South Carolina Governor for allowing one of her children to use the controversial, Chinese-controlled TikTok app, DeSantis defended Haley and denounced Ramaswamy’s rip as “out of bounds.”
“I didn’t think that was an appropriate thing to do. It’s not something that I do and, you know, we have a 6-, a 5- and a 3-year-old and, and they are out of bounds. I mean, this is not something they asked to be involved in, so I keep the kids out of it for sure,” DeSantis told interviewer Brian Kilmeade.
Though the debate between Republican presidential candidates in Miami featured a number of political attacks between DeSantis and Haley, Ramaswamy’s hit on Haley’s progeny was arguably more newsy.
“In the last debate, (Haley) made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time,” Ramaswamy said. “So you might want to take care of your family first.”
Haley took the comment personally, calling Ramaswamy “scum” for bringing her daughter up in that format.
Meanwhile, counterattack ended up being a family affair, with 22-year-old Nalin Haley going on the attack on social media with a post on X defending his sister.
“Vivague Ramaslimey backpedaling more than his receding hairline,” the son of the former South Carolina Governor snarked.
The younger Haley may have a future in political punditry. That seems more likely than Haley and Ramaswamy finding common ground after an acrimonious campaign thus far.

Puhlease… DeSantis uses his kids as props in campaign ads.

He sure does.
See YouTube: ‘Ron DeSantis has released an ad indoctrinating his children into Trumpism’
It’s so blatant, it’s embarrassing to watch. And embarrassing on two levels: not only is he using his children in a way that he obviously thinks is cute (it’s not, it’s creepy), he is sucking up hard to Trump for his endorsement in the Governor’s race of 2018.

Relax your sphincter ‘s America,
I, Earl Pitts American, am still in talks with Pam Bondy regarding Ron’s VPOTUS position. Pam has the highly respected cutthroat political skills needed to shut the opposition down immediately – as opposed to Nikki’s approach of negoation and appeasement – which she brings from her gig at The UN.
I mean with Pam’s superior approach its kind of difficult for any 8ull$hit time consuming attempts to get at Ron DeSantis being initiated an annoying Dook 4 Brains Leftist when that annoying person’s head is rolling across the floor.
Gotta respect Ms. Bondy’s political skills.
Just wanted to get that off the top of your minds prior to commenting on the topic at hand in regards to this article.
EARL COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE ARTICLE:
Gotta respect The Great Ron DeSantis for his impressive, courageous, standing up for children.
Thank you America,
Earl Pitts American

DeSantis is a Groomer
November 9, 2023 at 11:44 am
DeSantis sure does think about “the children” a lot. Probably a groomer.

Sorry Dook 4 Brains Lefty but “Groomer” is a conservative word we use to chastise Dook 4 Brains Leftys such as yourself.
That is not a 2 way street Bucko.
Stop using our word.
Thanks,

Is that because of the GOP needs to project their sins to deflect people from seeing them?
So basically, you are protecting your projector of being a Groomer yourselves.
And conservative? In what fashion? You all are RINO want-a-be authoritarians.
Groomer groomer groomer.

JD you are hereby chastised for 3 times to make up for your having misappropriated our word for y’all Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s 3 times.
“chastised chastised chastised”
There, JD, feel the pain and the shame of the “All Powerful Triple Chastisement”.
All of your Dook 4 Brains Lefty friends are glad it was you and not them that had to suffer the burn of the most feared “Triple Chastisement” from Earl.
Again, JD, “GROOMER” is a word us Patriots invented and patented with the US Patent Office for Patriots to use as a disparaging word against you Leftys.
Thank you JD and other than that have a nice day

What DeSantis should be very worried about is the fact that some day, when all the 2024 Republican Klown Kar candidates children are grown to adulthood …… the teenagers will look back at their parents lies, environmental policies, abortion policies, and advancement of the American experience policies in disgust!

They already are in GenZ and the GOP is shaking in their boots about it. It’s why they want to dismantle their ability to vote and gerrymander. The GOP has long been losing on popular vote and to democratic policies for decades. People just voted for the “R” after a name because their mommy and daddy did.
The current politicos want to stay entrenched for the benefits and their benefactor donors for the political favors.
Had they worked for a little bit of the common good, people would have allowed a certain about of palm greasing, but they had to go extreme sports and got greedy.
The piper is calling to lead their children away and bringing back the rats.

Like Ted Cruz’s daughter who is totally disgusted by her father. You would be too if it happened to you. (The same Ted Cruz who won the Iowa caucus in 2016).

Brothers backing up their Sisters … maybe “Family First” mindset still exists in the Republican party. Where’s your family support, Little Britches? Hint: you won’t find it in the jungle.

Vive’s bio similar to Youngkin
Ramaswamy launched his own venture in 2014. He named it Roivant — the ROI standing for “return on investment” — and had a clear business model in mind: Buy discount patents for drugs languishing in the development phase, then resurrect them.
In his first big move, Ramaswamy used a subsidiary, Axovant, and paid GlaxoSmithKline $5 million for RVT-101, a potential Alzheimer’s drug already put through multiple trials and deemed not promising enough to continue. Ramaswamy rebranded it as “intepirdine” and, despite the earlier studies, touted it as a game-changer, a “best-in-class drug candidate,” he told The New York Times during Axovant’s infancy. He landed on the cover of Forbes magazine.
The hype worked. Intepirdine never would.
Axovant’s initial public stock offering in 2015 drew $315 million, the largest-ever biotech IPO to that point, and Axovant’s valuation approached $3 billion. In 2017, Axovant released more trial results that found the drug ineffective at dampening Alzheimer’s symptoms or its advancement. Axovant stock tanked.
Ramaswamy, though, had pocketed tens of millions, divesting himself of shares whose value had swelled because of public buy-in.
