    We tried to tell them after Desantis kept nominating grifters for various positions but they wouldn't listen

    Apparently DeSantis not a big fan of the "Airing of Grievances"

    Kind of reminds me of a stunt that Rick Scott tried when he was governor. He proposed mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients and applicants. Turns out that his wife had a significant interest in a lab that would have benefited from the drug testing mandate.

    from the article

    Amid the fallout, the DeSantises have grown increasingly isolated. Donors, fundraisers and operatives are fleeing their orbit, and at the moment, few in Florida politics seem willing to sign up for another campaign with the couple. Multiple people have turned down positions in a potential gubernatorial campaign, according to two sources who remain in contact with the governor’s remaining team.

    “These days, I can’t tell the difference between being their friend and their enemy,” a longtime Republican operative once close to the governor told CNN.

    Even among their remaining allies, there is a growing sense that Casey shouldn’t announce a bid until the cloud hanging over the couple is lifted, though few people are willing to share those sentiments directly with them. Earlier this year, Ryan Tyson, the pollster for DeSantis’ presidential campaign, gave the couple a blunt assessment of the hurdles Casey would face in trying to extend their political dynasty, according to one of the sources.

    “It wasn’t well received,” the person said, “and no one has tried to give them advice since.”

    Why have been any of the Desantis fans come in here to defend or explain these actions?

    Can't find any talking points since the right wing media ecosystem is already busy trying to come up with explanations for the Trump 2.0 train wreck.

    This grifting disaster couldn't have happened to a more deserving political couple.

    Oh, I don’t know. I can think of another at least as deserving. Unfortunately nothing seems to stick to them.

    Could be wrong, but I think most Desantis fans are in the Trump camp first ...... and not sure what Dear Leader wants them to think of Ron at the moment.

    Yet another Florida GOP governor caught committing fraud, and yet their fanbase will still continue to vote these troglodytes into office because they love to vote against their own interests.
