The New York Times reports that a super PAC supporting of Ron DeSantis is bringing back a powerful spot from the Governor’s First Lady.
The spot from the “Good Fight” super PAC features Casey DeSantis discussing her recovery from breast cancer and the Governor standing by her through that trial. Per the Times, the spot is “nearly identical to one that was broadcast during his re-election campaign for governor last year” with some new images added, such as DeSantis children at the Field of Dreams park in Iowa.
2022’s “That Is Who Ron DeSantis Is,” featured First Lady Casey DeSantis “as she shares with Floridians, for the first time, the behind-the-scenes story of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ support through her battle with breast cancer.”
The ad was released a year after Mrs. DeSantis’ diagnosis, which kicked off months of recovery and uncertainty for the First Family before her recovery.
“If you want to know who Ron DeSantis really is, when I was diagnosed with cancer, and I was facing the battle for my life, he was the dad who took care of my children when I couldn’t,” Mrs. DeSantis asserted last year.
See the old spot below, and the new one in the coming days on television.

Seems like ole’ Ron might have learned how to put toys together.
But only if Ron tending to the kids were at all true, of course.
Which, being unable to assemble a child’s toy, clearly his responsibility for tending the children is, at best, exaggerated.
Poor Ron. He’s just not bright enough to realize people line up his claims and inspect them for consistency and continuity.
Ron DeSantis, he just keeps failing inspection.

I wondered when this first came out why she said Ron was the Dad who took care of “my children”. I literally thought her kids were from a previous marriage, until I looked it up.
Turns out they do happen to be Ron’s kids as well, so … why didn’t you say “our children”, Mrs. DeSantis?
And why the hell do you act like it’s so amazing that a man should take care of his own children when the mom can’t do it because she is exhausted from trying to beat cancer? He helped you. Terrific! He did what a normal human husband and father should do!
Meanwhile, millions of Floridians are struggling without half of the resources you had in addition to that helpful husband.
Might be nice, for example, if your husband would expand Medicaid, so people who don’t make a ton of money, but more than what’s allowed by Medicaid as it stands, can get at least some in home care for, I don’t know, say a person who is bed bound because a debilitating stroke.
Deeds speak louder than words. You can tell us all day long how much Ron DeSantis really loves and cares about his family, but he has not legislatively shown any extension of that care to Floridians and I can only surmise from that that he would not extend any care to the citizens of the rest of the states if elected president. So there is no way I am voting for him.
And from the polls, it looks like a lot of people in a lot of states agree with me.

I’ll bet even Neanderthal fathers lent a bit of a hand while their wife-mate recovered from a dinosaur bite.

Omg this is creepy! Omg! A family usually does the best it can in crisis. This is gross. The sympathy vote! Omg!

Yep, that is what it is. Pretty pathetic, but it works with the Hallmark and Lifetime channel crowd.

Ron might care about his own family in whatever way he is somewhat capable of, but he sure don’t care about your family or mine.
Ron lies

And he got vaccinated against CORONAVIRUS to protect you and your family too.

I’m sorry – but Ron wants to erase “certain” families, including mine – so why should I care about his? And how does this matter one iota in this election? She strikes me as someone who can shed tears on command to “endear sympathy” – but on substance, her husband is a cold, calculating, and uncaring person who has inflicted great harm on Florida citizens.

Good evening America,
REMEMBER: IT’S NOT “NEWS” UNTIL EARL PITTS AMERICAN “WEIGHS IN”.
However my Patriots, Earl has gotten “INTO THE WHISKEY” with “FIREBALL CHASERS” tonight.
And much like driving sober is a “Sage Idea” to aspire to:
The dispensing of “SAGE POLITICAL WISDOM” is another thing which is best when done with a “Sober” and sound mind.
Therefore I, Earl Pitts American, leave you “Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s” tonight in order to get some “SAGE REST”.
Please try to behave while I rest up to allow the “Sage Whiskey” its oppurtunitty to “Relax My Sphincter”.
I will return tomorrow and any of you Dook 4 Brains that fail to maintain a professional on line presence here at F. P. for our Beloved Host Peter will be subject to a Stern Chastizement From Me, Earl Pitts American
Thank you America,
EPA

The alien space monsters did a pretty good job with this AI–designed 3-D printed biobot. It is the personality and “reality” circuitry and programming that needs some work.

People are saying Casey bought an old animatronic Dopey somebody stole out the dumpster behind Disney and sold at their yard sale.
Casey put a suit on it, high heels, called it Rhonda, and here we all are with it programmed to pretend it’s Governor of Florida but it went haywire and it’s pretending it’s running for President of the USA bc it always wanted to be in the Hall of Presidents, not just an intellectually disabled dwarf.
