fire from his own campaign a staff who made it video of desantis standing in front of a neo-nazi symbol. yes, a neo-nazi symbol. is it any wonder that desantis s 2018 democratic opponent in the governor s race famously said this? i am not calling mr. desantis a racist, i am simply saying the racists believe he s a racist. why is it that the racists and neo-nazis love it so many of these top conservative politicians and pundits? why is it that the daily stormer, for example, the neo-nazi website, says that they have literally outraged as allies with tucker carlson? why is it in unity richard spencer, highly trump ship shortly after the 2016 election? could it be because tucker carlson night after night on fox used neo-nazi great replacement rhetoric with black and brown migrants? could it be because donald trump campaign for office by retweeting white supremacists?
there s a new video labeling desantis a president for the people. that s right and so begins the official rollout of desantis presidential campaign and it just keeps going. we saw that superpac releasing the video not too long ago and interestingly, zeroed right in on his biography and took swipes not at his republican rivals, but at president joe biden and democrats. that is something we can educexpect to see more and more of as he tries to contrast himself with president biden and the democrats in power saying he can be the one that can move the country forward in the direction that americans want it to go. that s going to be a big part of his pitch. we also saw him filing that official paperwork with the sec today that will make him a candidate for president in 2024 and the donor retreat that is underway. $100 million. it s an historic figure behind him and they want even bigger
desantis s rhetoric has been evolving a bit in the last few weeks. he s going a bit away from this explicit, i m punishing them because they opposed me politically, to a little more of, well, they shouldn t get special treatment. the problem is, they already said what he said you cannot unsay what you already said. he said this and as desantis a lawyer and he knows that. there s another aspect of this, people might not find contract law as sexy trust, me it is. explain what s going on with the contract. so, the old board, the disney board, on its way out the door, they knew they were going to be replaced by the new board, the desantis board. in their last act in office, the old boards signed a whole bunch of contracts with disney that essentially get the status quo in place for the next 30 or so years. and now, the new board came and said, no, we are going to cancel all of those contracts, and that s where you re seeing these competing lawsuits. disney s argument is these were le
nominee, let s talk about ron desantis. last week, the atlantic published a piece about the gop s new golden boy. i will put that. unquote and whether he could stand up to national scrutiny. mark libuse writes about the former governor, quote, people who know him better and i ve watched him longer are skeptical of his ability to take on the former president. desantis, they say, is no thoroughbred political athlete. he can be awkward and plotting. let s take a quick look at some of desantis s more awkward moments. you do not have to wear those masks. plays. honestly, it s not doing. anything you have to stop with this theater. if you want to, where it fine. but this is ridiculous. honestly, this is ben excuse, me excuse me. this has been handled ad nauseam. i know you can talk about this with these officials. ask him about it, that is fine. go ahead, man. okay, stop. i m not calling mr. desantis
desantis displace donald trump as the gop s combatant-in-chief? my answer is they all want to. he definitely wants to. i think ron desantis wants to run for president right now. the question has always been, like, what s president trump going to do? is he going to run again or not? i think increasingly, you know, as what your reporting indicated, increasingly, he is ready to go himself. not there yet, but it seems increasingly plausible because he is surging everywhere. we know trump and desantis have, at this point, a pretty fraught relationship. trump gave desantis a key endorsement that helped him win in the first place, but now he is upset desantis hasn t shown sufficient loyalty. that means desantis hasn t ruled out a run if trump were to jump in himself in 2024.
