The Associated Press attempted a hit piece on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his promotion for monoclonal antibody treatment for early stage COVID recovery. The treatment from Regeneron was purchased by the federal government in January of 2021. However, the AP attempted to claim a small investor in Regeneron was also a supporter of Ron DeSantis…. the implication was a quid-pro-quo.
The attempt was so weak, so lacking of substance and silly, that few additional media attempted to join the AP in their narrative. Even the far-left politifact had to call out the Fake News. After the AP refused to clear the record and drop the nonsense, Governor Ron DeSantis and his spokesperson, Christina Pushaw, unleashed on the AP in a similar way they crushed a similar 60-Minutes effort earlier in the year.
Ms. Pushaw simply re-tweeted the AP story and said “drag them” to her followers and DeSantis supporters. The Associated Press is not used to having the MAGA army take action and start ridiculing them. New rules...
After the AP and their narrative engineer started to get push-back for their fake news narrative, the Associated Press executives clutched their pearls and started crying, documenting their complaint to the Governors office:

Salty tears…

Dear AP,
You’d better put some ice on that.
Crushed or cubed?
CRUSHED is just so appropriate !
Nice Billary reference!
Good Catch! 🙂
Florida’s preeminent resident President Donald Trump and our greatest Governor Ron DeSantis are the only republicans that have the cajones to call these slimy presstitutes out. If their Marxist leader Obama finishes off his dream for transformation of America, any journalist reporting the truth will be jailed or beheaded. They are nothing but useful idiots.
“presstitutes”….hope you don’t mind if I steal that one!!!
Hussein Obama has already transformed America. The country I used to love will never come back.
Yes, we will come back. Don’t be discouraged, ever. We have a tremendous responsibility to stay involved and teach the younger generations–show them what they can do according to our Founding Documents. We have not yet begun to fight in earnest, but great Americans all over the country are challenging deviations from our Constitutional Republic by pseudo-socialists. Don’t be dismayed. Act. Strengthen local governments and plan. The enemy means to wear you down. Don’t go.
It’s madness to take to heart the “Destruction of America(tm)” when the entire thing is a massive psyop driven entirely by a relatively small leftist media machine echoed endlessly by thousands of ‘conservative’ sources to stoke rage, helplessness and disaffection.
If this stuff is killing you inside, don’t engage. You’re more use to the coming Revolution if you learn to repair small engines or make pemmican or raise happy children.
Great post, Lusher Hunter. We not only have the right to withdraw our consent, we have a DUTY to withdraw our consent and to restore this country back to good governance.
The Republic is restored one community at a time.
Engage locally, speak truth often and loudly to ever school board, commissioners meeting, etc. Support local business.
Each one of us is able to do this as individuals and as small groups.
Your sentiments are noble but the Dems and establishment Republicans will simply not allow us to go back. They’ve moved all their chips in because they know any return to normal law and order will mean their own end — being totally drenched in corruption — not to mention all the “Republicans” all over the country fighting election audits. Don’t believe it’s over? Just watch California Dems brazenly cheat and prevent Newsome from being recalled and “Republicans” willfully going along with it. Wake me up when the shooting starts.
Please my dear friend Chase. Never give up and to quote Churchill, NEVER,NEVER,NEVER give up. Remember Chase, there are many more of us and the majority of us are willing to overcome that ignorant communist from Kenya, and beside that he didn’t have the intelligence to ever bring us down. He only had success because of the great number of charlatans that surrounded him in his treasonous scheme.
It’s gonna be Better‼️
Trump/DeSantis 2024
How will that be different than 2020?
They won’t be able to cheat enough.
There are others, they just don’t get the press that DeSantis gets. We have State Senator Wendy Rogers here in Az and she gets no MSM press, at all. She would eviscerate the MSM narrative the same as DeSantis.
They are idiots. Useful is another issue. I know rocks that are more useful than some of these so-called journalists.
What..the MSM Whores Of The CCP lie?
Wasn’t the AP perfectly okay with being spied on by Obama’s administration? But “mean tweets” bring them to their knees.
Oh but you don’t understand Treeclimber. Such comments lead to angry “online mobs”, which lead to comments and threats, which could lead to violent talk, which could lead to violent thinking, which could lead to violent actions. /s
Tell Rand Paul about “online mobs”. Hit the “off” button snowflake and the “online mob” disappears.
Maybe the prissy wimps at AP should try to recall what kind of flaming crap assaults hit President Trump’s twitter account every minute of every day. But that’s wishful thinking I know. I’ll have to be content with the knowledge that AP are petty and weak, and undeserving of anything beyond scorn and ridicule.
DeSantis learns what Pres Trump took for five years from the liberals fake media. He’s their Alinsky target now as he presents a problem for their Marxists.
I dare say Desantis is showing early signs that either he is stronger than DJT, or learned from DJT or a combination of both. IMO, one of Trump’s flaws was trying to “play nice” when he should have levelled them. A repeated error time and again.
Hopefully Desantis will have a better left hook. Fingers crossed on him.
PDJT was completely outnumbered, it’s impossible to fight everyone at once. He had us, but we aren’t the ones running DC.
Whoever is next needs to be gaining allies behind the scenes, and be willing to burn it all down to the ground. The trick is to have the gasoline tanks hidden in the basement and to light the match before the other side even knows you are there.
Sorry, Expected my CIC, POTUS to have the courage to speak the truth, especially if lives could have been saved. You can make excuses for his silence, I will not.
I would like to see PDT as president and DeSantis as VP. PDT should task DeSantis with closing agencies and eliminating 50% of the bureaucrats, as well as investigation the financials of Secretaries of Departments and congress, the senate for the last 15 years. How did they get so RICH???
That’s what Hillary did years ago with the IRS files. Then the Patriot Act, NSA databases made it simple for Barry & Val to blackmail virtually ANYBODY they please, with great ease! Now, they have “woken” the corporations with blackmail knowledge, so the money pours in and they do “favors” of support, like banning Trump but assisting the Taliban.
Desantis couldn’t hold President Trump’s jock strap. Trump knows how to get things done period. Trump was hated by everyone. Left and right and was very successful against a uniparty. Desantis can dish but he is not attacked like Trump from every angle. Desantis is RNC money maker right now. He can’t stand against both sides like President Trump. he can only stand against one side. Media is building him up to split Trump’s base.
Based upon what exactly? I spend my time about 50/50 Florida/Ohio and the difference is night and day. Ohio RINO gov had to be disciplined by the legislature to shut down his covidiocy. Florida is mostly open and relaxed and Ohio feels like behind enemy lines.
What Desantis actions can you sight to back your BS?
The million donation request I receive a day. I am not saying Desantis is bad. I’m saying he is being propped up by the media as Trumpish. He could never stand the gap like President Trump sorry you will never convince me otherwise. President Trump didn’t need the party. Desantis does.
What the hell are you rambling about?
Like I said, got my fingers crossed. Desantis is little more than half Trump’s age. At his age Trump was supporting many dems, but that’s business. In general I would take a man who made his bones in industry, not politics, so there is that. Cannot compare pressures of a presidency to those of a governorship. If Desantis did hold the oval, my bet is he would have all sides fighting him also, IF he held to MAGA.
As far as splitting the ticket, assuming Trump will make another run is quite doubtful in my mind.
Right now, Desantis is as close to MAGA as we’re going to get. Time will tell.
President Trump will be reinstated or will run in 2024. No doubt at all.
Hope you are right!
And you know for a fact that there will be an election in 2024? No doubt at all huh?
Methinks you know not whereof you speak.
Well, that can certainly be true. I warn daily when people say, “the left will attack Trump again, we need new blood, DeSantis for pres” and that just Splits our base. Period. Plus, as you say they make an unbeatable team. Now that Trump’s gone, people seem to hold insignificant shit against him… The man took huge abuse for 5 years.
“Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer”
“Daisy”
As the late G. Gordon Liddy would say, “I’m not making this name up.”
Look at signature; Megan Markle’s calligraphy class.
Everyday I’m thankful DeSantis is Florida’s Governor. I cannot imagine what it would be like, to live in Ct in these times.
It’s absolutely abhorrent….the mandates have come. We have our own little dictator drunk with power. Enjoy life signer1!!
Wait!! Mean twaats??? Oh glory!!!!!
Everytime a tyrant gets mocked and cries big tears, a pitchfork gets its wings.
Good on Desantis and his team. Seems they want to shut him up the same way they brushed backTrump. They succeeded in stopping PDJT from talking about therapeutics. How many lives could have been saved?
An effective therapeutic treatment for COVID is not in the interests of the pushers. It is however in OUR best interest. We need SOMEONE with a voice to bring us the truth. Stand in that batter’s box and keep hitting Governor.
“Journalists”
Urinal-ists
They cried about what they do to others…
Hey, drag them even more now!
Please NEVER FORGET it is the AP who called The Big Steal, fully sanctioned by the EAC on 7 Nov 2020.
The Big Steal then set up the preferred narrative that any actions taken to fight the corrupt MOB attempting to install Delusional Joe would be labeled “attempts to overthrow the election” or their other narrative “attempts to overthrow democracy”.
It set up the path to The Big Lie on 6 Jan 2021, and the installation of the illegal occupant of the White House and his illegal administration.
They deserve NO MERCY. Show them NO MERCY.
Perhaps DeSantis should follow the lead of Devin Nunes and start suing the pants off those entities who would blatantly and repeatedly lie about him and spread falsehoods about him.
I don’t know what I find to be more amusing:
The fact they are crying about the same thing they do to others. Or,
The fact they feel that a letter written by their VP on their letterhead should be taken very seriously.
AP you are being laughed at.
IDK, based on the censorship we are experiencing under the guise of “hate speech”, many believe they are justified in such reactions, demand apologies and too often we succumb.
Dear Daisy, the Associated Press output, 95% dependent on journolists from the left, is merely a left-wing propaganda machines.
If you had any news integrity, your editors would redline all loaded adjectives and adverbs, check for completeness of facts, and spike ALL opinion pieces.
Until you shape up the AP, expect to be dragged.
lol.. that was a great story..
If politifact rates it ‘mostly false’ it means it is absurd propaganda.
Poor dears. They should go lay down on the powder room sofa.
Journalists’ lies can be “dangerous.” Lies have consequences. Live with it!
“…a direct effort to activate an online mob to attack a journalist for doing his job.”
Ummm, no. If the “journalist” had done his job, there wouldn’t have been an attack because that “story” would have never seen the light of day.
AP: Absolutely Pusillanimous
A blatantly biased national and international news gathering organization for the entire 30-plus years I worked in the news business. The people in New York put their own spin on the stories they get from members across the globe, when they don’t have their own boots on the ground to twist the events to fit their agenda. Reuters is no better.
The media is a monolith, so no sense in singling out AP. All media in this country is owned by a grand total of 6 (six) corporations.
That would be all media, television, movies, radio, newspapers, magazines… all of it.
6 companies control all of it. They have the same agenda, and it is not aligned with our agenda.
Local media is a disaster. It is completely owned and controlled. Even sportstalk radio is gone now. The monolith does not brook dissent. Even sports is a vehicle for the agenda.
So attack AP, fine. But never forget that they are all the same.
Gotta love it though when a bully gets hit squarely on the nose and cries like a baby ?!
Like my Dad used to tell me: “if you can’t name a source, then you made it up”.
My dad used to tell us “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”
Their rules
I stopped believing the All Progressive news service years ago.
They are deeply imbedded with DS government actors.
Gotta love it! The ap bully reporter went back to mommy (crying) “mommy Pushaw broke my nose DO SOMETHING! WAAAAHHHH!”
Hey AP! You better get some aloe, ‘cuz you just been BURNED!!
So there is no vaccine for that?
Something overlooked as that the media has been getting away with having an official position on the issues they cover.
“Is” not “as”.
AP takes their orders from the CCP, whether they know it or not.
That’s considered an honor these days. ????
I’m sure Ms. Pushaw considers it so. No doubt her parents are proud also.
This is how the ‘Participation Trophy‘ generation reacts…whining, crying and then temper tantrums. ?
The AP has a stained reputation, research their actions in 1936 with them collaberation with the Nazis. Coke also. CNN in Iraqi.
Dear AP,
If you don’t want to be ridiculed in the media, don’t print lies and try to practice responsible journalism instead of yellow journalism for a change.
awww. Their fantasy world was upset by a fantasy army of horrible super duper mean people………..writing words! These people are so weak and pathetic and we need to pummel them like this from here forward. The days of playing nice have to stop. This is exactly how we hammer these people. They think the internet is reality. It is their world. We need to destroy it. This is how it’s done. Destroy their fantasy…..which apparently it their reality. How hard can that be?
They do it to other people. They don’t like it when it’s done to them.
AP…Always Propaganda.
Perhaps you could find a different retort? You suggesting that is wrong on so many levels….
I sure do miss mean Tweets, cheap gas and people showing up for work.
Regeneron uses murdered human embryos and was tested on aborted baby cells. DeSantis should talk about Ivermectin – 12 cents a dose and one of the safest most effective medications in the world.
Indeed!!
One of at least 2 known effective prophylactics and therapeutics that have been used even mentioned several times by President Trump early in the “scamdemic”
In the “mean” tweets category, nobody beats President Trump. Although, I applaud the Gov’s press sec. for trying.
Suck it up, AP. You had it coming for a long time. And may it continue…forever.
What people called Trump’s mean tweets are what my friends, family and I say and think daily. I don’t get it.
Ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun, is it?
Dear Daisy,
In response to your last paragraph the United States government also routinely criticizes other nations for routinely rigging elections. You know, that thing that AP along with other news outlets colluded with the “Deep State” during the 2020 election.
Big Ronnie packs a punch.
American Hostages Day 7
As of this morning’s briefing, 17,000 evacuated, only 2,500 of them were Americans.
Taliban dressed in US military uniforms w/BP vests and American weaponry.
Skip any logical interaction with these propaganda outlets. Immediate consequence to a article full of lies is to attack their Twitter, ridicule, blast him, never give up, no talk or mercy. Attack. Don’t wait for any lawsuits that doesn’t work. Immediate MAGA army let loose on them. Go after the journalist.
AP=Azz Puckers
This is so rare for anyone on the right to punch back. Absolutely wonderful!!!
And we like RD to stay in FL a bit longer. Not ready to share him with everyone else.
Americans cherish an OBJECTIVE, free press.
A Partisan, lying, propagandist Press is the common enemy of all mankind.
At which point in time (like our current times) MSM has become effective tools as agents of propaganda influence and agents of lies on behalf of those globalists who pull the strings
Sundance is an example of true independent investigative journalism
“The Truth has no agenda ” it simply reveals what is “true”.
DeSantis is a Trump-like fighter. Hope he continues.
The letter is filled with Projection, Projection, Projection and the Mamet Principle
