Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida and 2024 presidential hopeful, criticized Donald Trump’s supporters for being unprincipled ahead of the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday
Making a reference to claims that he is a RINO , DeSantis added that there’s “a strand in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you are a RINO or not.”, but “unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO. So unless you’re totally detached from principle and what you actually believe — and results — it’s more about, you know, what faction you happen to do.
Speaking about how he believes this extends as far as Capitol Hill, DeSantis said that Trump's followers will back politicians with "incredibly liberal left-wing records" just because they support the former president. DeSantis claims that his own backers are different because they “have records of principle.”
The governor's comments come days before the first 2024 Republican debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday, which Trump said he would not attend over the weekend.on his social media platform, Truth Social. “I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!”
