Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has sparked the wrath of Trump supporters after calling them “listless vessels” in a recent interview.
In comments to a reporter for The Florida Standard, he said: “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.”
Asked about claims he is a “Republican in name only,” DeSantis responded, “You could be the most conservative person since sliced bread. Unless you’re kissing [him], they will somehow call you a RINO.”
While he has historically been reticent to criticize his biggest rival as he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination, his latest remarks immediately incensed pockets of MAGA world.
“DeSantis goes full-blown Hillary and call[s] MAGA supporters ‘Listless Vessels,” tweeted Steven Cheung, Trump’s spokesman, in reference to the “basket of deplorables” phrase used by Hillary Clinton in reference to Trump’s base during the 2016 election. Read more at Politico.
Desantis should drop out of the election because now no Trump supporter will support him. He could go back to halfway working it as a governor.
Really, how do you make up for such comments? You can not take them back.
This is a clear case where the forerunner is being struck by DNC fence out legal restrictions. He is not being challenged by anyone in the GOP for his venerability.
Trust in Hashem. Get out of the race if you turn away from the voter. This is a mess.
He better not apologize! Their MAGA guy, the world’s biggest narcissist, the best friend of Kim Jung Un, has names for everyone and has never said a nice thing about anyone two days in a row, has never been apologetic; EVER. He belittle everyone and his cousin! Governor DeSantis, DO NOT APOLOGIZE. Mr. Indictment will just laugh at you all the way till the end. Do NOT apologize.
MAGA sounds like a bunch of snowflakes if they can’t take what De Santis said.
If they supported a nice guy that would be one thing but when you support a first class jerk like Trump, it’s beyond ridiculous to complain about De Santis said.
In general tough guy Trump is turning into snowflake wimp. He can’t even show up at a Republican debate (but demanded that his supporters be there) and tries to drown it out with an alternate interview . The only people involved with Trump who get anything these days are the people who sue him…What a loser!
PS I voted for Trump in 2020 and STILL think he was a good president who is consistently unfairly attacked by Democrats .
What junk media do you get your brainwashed information from?
Desantis calling Trump supporters “listless vessels”
The WEF calling at least 4 billion people “useless eaters”
DeSantis is now Hillary II. He’ll be the 1st to drop out followed by Christie Bridge.
Poor Ron allowed the TDSers to whisper in his ears about running. Got a swelled head after Trump helped him win big. They’re jumping ship one by one. Let’s see who else we can smootch up to … well, there’s Nkki the woman, Vivek, Mikey… Mmmm. Not much, eh ?
