Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign reboot has started with a bang.
Team DeSantis plans to “let Ron be Ron,” so they can “expose” voters to more DeSantis (their wording, not mine).
Great. Let the exposing begin—this time with double the fascism! First, The New York Times revealed Sunday that the weirdly homoerotic anti-LGBTQ+ video tweeted out earlier this month by the DeSantis campaign was actually made in-house by a DeSantis aide. The campaign then enlisted an outside supporter (who later deleted the original tweet) to send it out on Twitter.
Also Sunday, a DeSantis staffer retweeted an anti-Trump, pro-DeSantis video that literally morphed the Florida State flag into a Nazi emblem with DeSantis’ head superimposed on it.
