As the political landscape heats up in anticipation of the 2024 presidential election, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he finds himself at the center of a barrage of attacks from various political quarters. Here’s the full story.
Ongoing Onslaught of Insults and Criticism
In a recent interview, DeSantis addressed the ongoing onslaught of insults and criticisms that he has been subjected to.
Indicators That He Poses a Genuine Threat
Rather than being discouraged by these attacks, he views them as indicators that he poses a genuine threat to his political rivals.
They Consider Me to Be a Threat
He stated, “I get attacked by the left, I get attacked by the Democrats, [Joe] Biden, [Kamala] Harris, the media, [Donald] Trump, so I must be somebody that they consider to be a threat.”
He Must Be Right?
DeSantis further elaborated on his approach to the criticism, emphasizing that being targeted by opponents is a sign that he is hitting the mark.
“When They’re Attacking You, That Means You’re Over the Target”
He said, “Look, when they’re attacking you, that means you’re over the target. So, we’re happy to field that and we’ll hold our own.”
Making a Positive Impact Is Important
He emphasized that his primary focus is on winning the election and making a positive impact, rather than pursuing personal gain or other motives.
DeSantis said, “At the end of the day, I am running to actually win the presidency and do all these great things.”
Only Interested in One Thing!
“I don’t have any other motive. I don’t want to get a cable news deal. I am not trying to sell anything I don’t want a cabinet post,” he added.
He Delivered on His Promises?
He pointed out that his administration has delivered on its promises and achieved positive outcomes for the state, a feat that resonates with voters who are weary of politicians who overpromise and underdeliver.
A Feat That Resonates With Voters
He said, “We’ve actually delivered on everything that we’ve promised and over-delivered in many respects, and that’s what we need in Washington.”
No Time for Excuses
DeSantis also underscored the urgency of the current political moment, and said, “The time for excuses is over. We gotta get the job done.”
Got to Beat Biden
“We gotta beat Biden, you gotta get in there. We will do it because at the end of the day, you know our country is in decline and we need to reverse the decline,” he added.
Social Media Users Shared Their Thoughts
Several social media users shared their thoughts on the talk.
He Gets Attacked Because He Says Stupid Things
One user wrote, “He gets attacked because he says stupid things like Slavery is good for you, and let’s shoot missiles at our neighbors, who happen to be a sovereign country.”
He Is a Threat
Another user added, “The Florida Fuehrer sure has an inflated ego, doesn’t he? Though he is a threat – to our Democracy and HUMANITY!”
