There's something very off in the DeSantis family.

[RandySF]

The Orlando Sentinel catches up with Ronald DeSantis, father of the Florida governor.

“He says he doesn’t talk to his son often, maybe every couple of months or so when he goes to Tallahassee to see him and the family. His wife, and the governor’s mom, Karen DeSantis, 75, sees the governor more frequently, he says. Every three weeks or so. For the grandkids, mainly.”

“When asked if she’d be willing to give an interview, he said she would be even less cooperative.”

“This is how it typically goes whenever one tries to dig deeper into the roots of Ron DeSantis’ political ambitions and beliefs, the people and events that molded him into the person he is today.”

“Every attempt to reach out to the people closest to him has been rebuffed or ignored, leaving many questions unanswered about who the intensely private Ron DeSantis really is…”

1. Maybe asking policy questions instead of last names may help.

[BlackSkimmer]

2. Keeping a lid on the truth...

There is something seriously off with DeSantis.

3. 'Intensely private,' huh?

Perhaps some skeletons lurk in the closet.

9. Really? You have to mean "Napoleon"? n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Yes, auto correct strikes again.

5. Well you could see his obnoxious personality yesterday when dealing with the press

Maybe he’s just as irritating to his own family

[Wingus Dingus]

6. They raised that dickhead. I don't expect them to be

nice.

7. I was just thinking the other day about his family.

Never see anyone outside the wife. I suspect the Governor and his wife look down on his parents (does he not have siblings?). They don't want them anywhere near the spotlight. Ron and Casey want to project humble roots through THEIR own storytelling. Meanwhile, flying around the world trying to also come off as composed and sophisticated with right-wing types.

8. I think he had a sister

who died in her 30's of a pulmonary embolism.

Why my brain decided to hold that piece of information at the expense of more useful things, I have no idea.

10. "Son, it's OK if you just go ahead and lick the pudding right off your fingers!"

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Lol who gives a shit about his parents

[lindysalsagal]

15. Perhaps his god complex makes him difficult to live with???

Just guessing.

[dembotoz]

17. he has been in office a while and the family knows to keep their mouths shut

not new to this, they have had practice

[eppur_se_muova]

18. OMG! He's one of the Lizard People, planted on Earth with a fake family history!

Gotta admit, it explains a lot.

21. He wet the bed, started fires, tortured small animals. No big deal. Typical Republican leader stuff.
