Get in touch: WHERE’S RON? - Nothing official for Gov. “He’s exposing himself as 100% Controlled Opposition!” “Just as radical Dems are indicting Trump & destroying the fabric of our nation with their Police State tactics, DeSantis pathetically runs to the liberal media on orders from his RINO establishment owners to attack my father,” Donald Trump Jr. Initial response - For what’s it worth, Trump allies reacted harshly to the interview. Pushing back - DeSantis did give this dig when he was asked about “Ron DeSanctimonious” and the nicknames given to him by Trump: “I mean you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you also call me a winner because that’s what we’ve been able to do in Florida, is put a lot of points on the board and really take this State to the next level.” (This isn’t the first time, however, that he has faulted Trump over Covid policy and DeSantis has made his disdain of Fauci a regularly occurring feature of his speeches.) He did tell the television host that while he hasn’t made up his mind about a presidential bid, there’s a chance he could skip the race because “I’ve got a young family” and “different obligations.”Īssertions - Morgan also contends that DeSantis took more pointed jabs at Trump than before in his interview, including hitting him over his management style as well as Covid-19 and saying he would have fired Anthony Fauci. Highlights - Now much of what DeSantis told Morgan in what’s been released so far echoes what the Republican governor has said elsewhere and does not constitute a huge revelation. I think they want a fresh start and a new direction and so we’ll be very vocal about that.” “Like we are competing for the Republican, potentially, I get that, but ultimately you know the guy I’m gonna focus on is Biden because I think he’s failed the country. … I’m running against Biden,” DeSantis told Morgan, according to one of the excerpts. Ron DeSantis sat down with Piers Morgan at the governor’s mansion to give a lengthy interview that will be televised on Fox News’ subscription service, Fox Nation.Ĭontrolled release - Morgan has highlighted snippets of the exchange to the New York Post - another Rupert Murdoch-owned media property - where DeSantis suggests somehow that a presidential bid would not be about a primary with Trump but about President Joe Biden. Interesting timing - The potential indictment of former President Donald Trump is poised to be the biggest political story of the moment - if not the year or more.
