Ron DeSantis wouldn’t put Joe Biden on a mosquito control board

'There's no way I would appoint him.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis is continuing his attacks against President Joe Biden and signs of decline.

DeSantis, addressing the Republican Party of Florida during a Wednesday breakfast meeting at Milwaukee’s Republican National Convention, said he wouldn’t even pick Biden for one of the most incidental appointed positions possible.

“If someone brought a candidate for mosquito control board appointment to me in Florida and it was someone like (Biden), there’s no way I would appoint him to the mosquito control board,” DeSantis said, making the case that the President isn’t “fit to lead.”

The Governor added that he’d like Biden to stay atop the Democratic ticket, however, even after describing the Biden White House as a “Weekend at Bernie’s” presidency on the RNC stage Tuesday night.

“In the spirit of unity, I just want to say that I sure hope he ends up with the Democratic nomination for President of the United States,” he said.

He added that the nominee “may not be Biden” even though “that’s who we want to run against.”

“There’s people that will look at this and realize that, ‘You know, it’s one thing to have a bad debate because we all make mistakes. You can put your foot in your mouth, you can do different things, but it wasn’t just that he had a bad debate. It was that he exposed a problem that is not fixable. And so there’s not a way for them to get out of this as long as he’s our candidate.'”

The Governor had previously told Fox News viewers during the post-debate “Hannity” that the televised face off was a “disaster” for Biden, and predicted that Democrats will have a tough choice to make in the coming months.

“It was a disaster for Biden. I think that they’re going to definitely try to do something this Summer, but if they don’t, there is no way the American people can give them another four years, you know?”

In a subsequent press conference, DeSantis said Democrats want Biden to leave the race “not because they think it’s important that a President can actually discharge the functions,” but “because that scene was so jarring that they understand he’s going to lose. And so they want to be able to try to get someone else in there that will carry out their agenda, but they really (wouldn’t) care if that debate had gone a different way.”

        The truth hurts. The coverup for over four years now is over.

    Does DeScumtis ever shut up?
    He is the antipode of Silent Cal.
