DeSantis Decks Trump With Accusations Of “Running To The Left”<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Days after Ron DeSantis (R) announced his bid for president in 2024, the Florida Governor has come out swinging against his Donald Trump – accusing his chief rival of “running to the left” <\/strong>after siding with (woke) Disney vs. Florida.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know what happened to Donald Trump<\/strong>,” DeSantis told WWTN<\/em> radio in Nashville. “This is a different guy today than when he was running in 2015 and 2016. And I think, I think the direction that he\u2019s going with his campaign is the wrong direction.”<\/p>\n

“He’s even sided with Disney against me. You know, I stood up to Disney because I oppose the sexualization of our children […] I don’t know what happened to Donald Trump. This is a different guy [from 2016].” pic.twitter.com\/1a2lcqOTe9<\/a><\/p>\n

On spending, DeSantis said Trump shares responsibility for the nation\u2019s $31 trillion in debt.<\/strong> \u201cHe added almost $8 trillion in debt in just four years as president,\u201d he said. \u201cI was right on those issues and he wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On abortion, DeSantis defended Florida\u2019s newly enacted six-week abortion ban against Trump criticism that it was \u201ctoo harsh\u201d <\/strong>and that DeSantis didn\u2019t know what he was doing.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

On immigration, DeSantis accused Trump of supporting amnesty for undocumented immigrants as part of a 2018 immigration bill.<\/strong> \u201cTo hit me for taking the America First position I think is pretty strange,\u201d DeSantis said.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The Trump campaign responded that as a congressman, DeSantis voted for a bill that gave legal status to some undocumented minors as part of a package of tougher immigration restrictions<\/strong>, before opposing a similar plan.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DeSantis also spoke with the Daily Wire<\/em>‘s Ben Shapiro, slamming Trump on his approach to crime.<\/p>\n

\n

DeSantis is running to the right of Trump on crime. He wants to repeal the First Step Act, signed by Trump in 2018. It was the brainchild of Jared Kushner and Koch-backed policy people like Brooke Rollins, who now leads Trump’s America First Policy Institute.<\/p>\n

Trump has been taking shots at DeSantis for months – including this video making fun of DeSantis’ glitchy 2024 announcement<\/a> on Twitter spaces (which received way more attention due to said glitches than it would have otherwise).<\/p>\n

Trump just posted this video making fun of DeSantis. I have to admit, I couldn’t stop laughing\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

“What a mess it is,” Trump said on Thursday regarding the Disney dispute. “He could have worked out an easy settlement, but no \u2014 he wanted to show the fake news how tough a guy he is. He\u2019s not.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis has gained ground on Trump since late April despite the former president maintaining a clear lead.<\/p>\n
