FLORIDA/RON DESANTIS: “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis responded Tuesday [January 31, 2023] to an ongoing series of criticisms leveled at him by former President Donald Trump.
Trump took his latest swing at DeSantis on Saturday [January 28, 2023], claiming that the governor — whom he has previously nicknamed ‘Ron DeSanctimonious’ — was misguided in COVID-19 pandemic policies in Florida…
Speaking at a press conference, DeSantis was asked about Trump’s comments…
‘Well, look, what I would just say is this. I roll out of bed, I have people attacking me from all angles,’ the Florida governor said…
DeSantis continued, ‘And the good thing is that the people are able to render a judgment on that, whether they reelect you or not. And I’m happy to say, you know, in my case, not only did we win reelection, we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican governor candidate has in the history of the state of Florida.'”
