Ron DeSantis rips Joe Biden for failure to exercise White House dogs

Gov. Ron DeSantis is howling over ‘ruff’ treatment of presidential pooches, and saying the issue could have been that Joe Biden’s dogs weren’t getting enough exercise.

During a Newsmax interview airing over the weekend, Florida’s First Family was dishing about holiday traditions and Christmas wishes when the Governor speculated about behavioral issues at the White House.

“You know, the Bidens’ dog biting people, that’s because he’s not getting exercise. Like, you’ve got to be able to do that,” DeSantis said.

The President has attempted to keep both Major and Commander at the White House, but the German Shepherds both attacked staff and Secret Service before their removal.

The Governor also teased a potential four-legged addition to the First Family, given the ample size of the grounds at the taxpayer-funded Governor’s Mansion in downtown Tallahassee.

“The thing is: we’ve got a big yard now at the Governor’s residence. I mean, you know, we absolutely could get a Lab and let them run around and they’d have a lot of fun,” DeSantis said.

No word yet from the Governor’s Office about whether a puppy awaited MadisonMason, and Mamie on Christmas Day.

DeSantis has been absent from Tallahassee for much of the year, as he’s been on the presidential campaign trail. However, he has had plenty of positive comments about living in the Governor’s Mansion, which he jokingly called “public housing” during another December interview in which he said he had to win re-election or else would have to move.

The Governor and First Lady Casey DeSantis have made raising their children a leitmotif in speeches to crowds during the current campaign season.

“If you have a 6-year-old and a 5-year-old, spill slime all over, it’s OK. If you move quickly, it doesn’t get embedded in there and never comes out,” Mrs. DeSantis said this spring. “But when you come and visit Tallahassee and we invite you all and you take a tour, look around because you will see slime and crayon marks because it is our way of leaving our ‘mark’ on the mansion after we leave.”

    Did the First Couple have to put down a deposit before moving in? Or, like DJT, does damage done fall under executive privilege?

    Somebody is getting desperate for attention – maybe he’s a closet kardashian. Pretty sad when that’s all the social commentary you can muster with the world in the state that it’s currently in.

    There you go America,
    America loves dogs and this reveal of the Biden’s being totally lame “Dog Parents” is going to drive the few remaining voters who were stupid enough to support Biden right into the arms of Ron and the beloved Casey Desantis

    Bored dogs eat couches, not bite people.

    It’s probably just some leftover MAGA SS agents whining the dog “bit” them… Right after shoving their hand in its mouth to take away a high value object the dig was chewing on. Try training the MAGAs. See if they can learn. Lol

      Harvard and Yale athletic scholarship mooch Rhonda must be confused again.

      This time it’s “exorcise” and “exercise” confounding Florida’s little animatronic Dopey

        “Dementia” Joe was a draft dodger. DeSantis served in the military.
        “Dementia” Joe plagiarized himself through college. DeSantis graduated from two of the finest institutions in America.
        No one respects “Dementia” Joe, not even his mutt dog.

          The truth hurts My Take. Biden is simply the most incompetent President in a lifetime. Simply look at the Southern Border chaos and the Iranian backed militias launching attacks at our bases and ships daily.

            Joe’s older son was an Iraq War vet and died from service-related injuries. That should cover the bill for the Bidens. (We could compare W, who went AWOL, or Clinton, a classic dodger, or Cheney, who kept fathering children.)

            ATTENTION: The rest of the world also is dealing with floods of refugees. In Europe folks are unhappy to see lifeless babies rolling up in the surf. (Those babies should have stayed home, right?)

    Every time DeSantis opens his mouth, he reveals how uncouth and uncultured he is. He is clearly a sociopath who uses his children as political props, showing an emotional distance which would be alarming in any context.

    He will not be elected to anything in 2024.

    Duh Desantis! Desantis do you ever have a real thought in your brain for the common good? Get out Desantis!

    If our governor hadn’t said stupid stuff before I would have thought this was satire. Toys from China that fall apart, the health habits of the First Dogs, and now Casey is proudly declaring that she can’t keep her kids from crayoning the governors mansion?
    What idiots
