Former Navy Pilot Rips 'Pathetic' Ron DeSantis Over 'Top Gun' Stunt

DeathSantis' latest ad may make Dukasis' tank ad to look like an effective ad

A former U.S. Navy pilot is calling out Ron DeSantis for his new “Top Gun”-themed campaign ad in which the Republican Florida governor calls himself “Top Gov.”

“It’s not just cringey,” said Ken Harbaugh. “It’s literally Navy pilot cosplay.”

In the widely mocked ad, DeSantis donned aviator shades and a bomber jacket and plopped into what appeared to be the pilot’s seat of a fighter jet as he talked about taking on the “corporate media.”....

He added:

“This tough guy act is pathetic, especially from someone like Ron DeSantis. This campaign ad from Ron DeSantis is just one more example of a Republican politician appropriating the honor of others because he has none.”


Harbaugh concluded by giving DeSantis a new callsign: Wedge or “the simplest tool known to man.”
