Charlie Kirk Tells DeSantis To Drop Out And Give All His Money To Trump - Ring of Fire



Right wing talking head Charlie Kirk has an idea on how Ron DeSantis can become the "hero" of the Republican Party, and all he has to do is completely drop out of the presidential race and give his war chest worth over $100 million to Donald Trump. That seems like a pretty big ask of someone, and it would likely make more sense for the guy with 91 felony charges against him to drop out and give HIS money to someone else. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why Kirk is still going all-in for Donald Trump.

Right wing talking head. Charlie Kirk has a plan for Ron DeSantis on how DeSantis can emerge as the hero of the Republican party today. And it's a very simple plan. All Ron DeSantis has to do is totally drop outta the presidential race and give all of his money to Donald Trump, right? I mean that, yeah, that's a fairly reasonable request. Why? Right? How about you go away forever and give us all your money? Now, I, I don't know of a single human being in this country that would agree to those terms, that that is almost like a terrorist demand. Like you leave forever and give me all of your money. Okay, that, that doesn't sound like a rational request, but here is what Charlie Kirk said this week. Ron DeSantis is super Pac sitting on 110 million has just said that they're doing a 12 million ad placement right now to support Ron DeSantis.

I think Ron DeSantis is a great governor. Why is he trying to ruin his political career right now? Spend that money to help us win in the general. Why are you buying ads to make consultants rich in Iowa just say, look, I'm going to be governor of Florida and turn Florida into the most Republican state. I'm going to deploy my a hundred million to help us defeat Joe Biden. He would be the hero status in the Republican party. Win or lose. He would look magnanimous, uh, magnanimous. He would look like a confident leader. He would look like he is bigger than just the personal pettiness that's going on right now. Instead, you might as well just burn that money. Donald Trump will be the nominee absent an unforeseen black swan event. We need that money as a movement right now. And you're lighting it on fire, lighting it on fire.

This is why the Democrats are so confident, they're so cocky. Indict Trump, weigh down, make the Republicans fight amongst themselves, burn the money, do the Borg stuff in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, and squeak out a win. And meanwhile, we're worried about a vanity project. It's gotta change very soon. Good Lord, man. Um, yeah, you're worried about a vanity project. And you know what that vanity project is? Donald Trump's campaign. Now, Charlie Kirk is one of those people, because I say this a lot, like sometimes it's hard to tell if somebody's genuinely stupid or actually just pretending to be stupid. Charlie Kirk is somebody that I believe is genuinely stupid. Um, Ben Shapiro, I think he pretends to be stupid to play to an audience. Charlie Kirk, he's the real deal, right? You're not gonna out Stupid Charlie Kirk. Here's the thing, bud. Why do you think it's a smarter idea to have Ron DeSantis drop out than have the guy with 91 felony charges against him? Like, why shouldn't that guy drop out? How is that not the vanity project? He had his second chance in the year 2020, he lost, he didn't accept that loss, and now he's

Got 91 felony charges against him. But it kind of seems like that guy, you know, the guy that also cost you the midterms in 2018, cost you control of the House and Senate in 2020, uh, helped Republicans not get the red wave that they thought they were gonna get last year. Don't you think it would make more sense for the Republican party to have that guy drop out than a guy like Ron DeSantis?

That $100m wouldn't be going to go to his or anyone else's campaign. It would go to lawyers so he wouldn't have to spend any of his own money.

He is sucking the cash out of the small donor base and the rnc can't get two nickles of it as it is. It's only going to get worse as judgements start rolling in and he really becomes cash starved.

Woe is them. So sad, too bad.

Can you cram eyes, nose and mouth into such a small area of head? Definitely a 5 head. He and Gaetz are so beyond only a 4 head.
He hates everything because…….because of that fucking face. It’s a freak show. Like a black hole is sucking all his facial features into a tiny spot.

I agree that tiny face on Kooky Kirk's huge head looks like a freak show.

Topical cartoonists would have a real challenge with this guy (jerk). Short of a completely featureless face, there's no way his image could possibly be exaggerated beyond its current state.
