Gov. Ron DeSantis is speaking out again about Democrats and the embattled President of the United States.
In a Friday social media post, Florida’s Governor accused the opposition party of hypocrisy in bailing out Joe Biden.
“The Dems/media engaged in a yearslong cover-up of the fact that the POTUS was not fit for duty. Now they are scrambling – not because they are concerned about Biden being unable to do the job, but because they think he will lose and bring them down with him,” DeSantis said, affirming a post by Montana’s Tim Sheehy that blasted incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester for finally suggesting Biden may not be the strongest candidate in 2024.
DeSantis continues to speak out amid the internal conversation among Democrats. Many consider Biden too enfeebled to be electable and have been making similar points for weeks.
In a recent news 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.”
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 on the RNC stage Tuesday night as a “Weekend at Bernie’s” presidency.
Despite rumors that Biden may step down, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told MSNBC viewers Friday that “the President is in this race – you’ve heard him say that time and time again” and that he “is the best person to take on Donald Trump.”
“We are built for the close election that we are in, and we see the path forward,” the veteran operative said on Morning Joe.

Didn’t rds want Biden removed under the 25th amendment? You can’t have it both ways. Maybe he’s scared of Kamala?

I think it is the Demo leadership that is afraid of Ka Mana. As they should be. How long did she last in the Demo primaries back in 2020?

Does it matter? She’s VP…next in line. Same for Vance now. Inside track unless you’re Mike Pence.

The Governor is 100% absolutely correct. The rats that told us Joe was mentally alert, as sharp as he has ever been are now fleeing from the Joe Biden “Titanic”. The Wicked Witch of the West and all the others that were pumping the US population full of bull crap are now attaching themselves to the Ka Mana “Titanic”. It’s fun watching this karma play out right in front of us. Their hate for Trump is so strong. Will Nancy lead an uprising if Trump is elected?

Republicans and independents are going to get what they want……a better candidate to beat Trump. Fact checkers were busy last night and found 22 lies out of Trump’s nauseating and sleep inducing 93 minute whine.

You keep hanging your hat on independents. Like us independents are not happy with the Ka Mana open border policy. Then we can talk inflation, fuel prices, foreign policy, crime. Independent voters don’t want a continuation of the utter chaos we have all endured for the last nearly four years.

That’s true but likewise, we don’t have short memories and we don’t want a repeat of trumps buffoonery from last time he was in office. Short answer is neither trump nor biden are acceptable so I guess we’ll just see what shakes out – hopefully a mini primary.

Nailed it! They’re both too old. One has dementia & and the other is just crazy like the glue. It’s like being the skinniest kid at fat camp.

Trump has a record too & it wasn’t good enough to get him re-elected 4 years ago.

AOC says that the Democrats “aren’t really trying” to put a good face on this election. They already know its lost.
No wonder. The Dems have been trying and trying and trying to impose their summer dreams on America for six decades now, ever since LBJ took over for the assassinated Kennedy, and where has it gotten them: war, crime, poverty, jealousy, anger, smoke, stink and wallow When you look at the ’60s and at the way it is now, all you can think of is Paul Simon’s melancholy melody, “Bookends.” Remember that line of his: “Preserve old memories, they’re all that’s left you.” How eerily it tolls over the graveyard of the Democratic Party.

Trump’s stalled pauses and late night insane raging should play prominently in the Dems campaign. His mind is going.
