DeSantis attacks the MAGAts

Ron DeSantis rips Donald Trump supporters as ‘listless vessels’

Unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO

Florida’s Governor is going on the offense against the former President — and his devoted supporters.

“If all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement,” DeSantis said.

“And so you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread. Unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO. So it’s been totally detached from principle in what you actually believe and results. And it’s more about, you know, just what faction you happen to do,” DeSantis said.

There will be people who are huge Trump supporters like in Congress who have, like, incredibly liberal left-wing records that’s really just atrocious and yet they’re viewed by some of these folks as, like, really, really good. Then you have other people, you know, like a Congressman Chip Roy who’s endorsed me, Congressman Thomas Massie,” he said.

... he's listening to the pundits. My advice would be to continue attacking gays, women, and brown people... he's not going to beat Crooked Donald, but they will remember who hates the right people, when Don moves off the stage. But, hey... I really don't care if Ron takes my advice!

That is a word salad that is unintelligible without context. Epic fail.

don't quite think that will succeed. Whiny Ron.

He's still afraid to actually go after Trump.
