A well-timed counterpunch against the duplicitous backstabbing by Ron DeSantis that took place in August of 2022 is delivered by former New York Congressman and former New York Governor candidate Lee Zeldin today. Zeldin endorses Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination:
[SOURCE]
If you have followed the deep weeds of GOP politics, you already knew this was likely.
At a key moment in the New York governor race, in late August of 2022, shortly after the Mar-a-Lago raid, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was scheduled to be keynote speaker at a New York City Zeldin dinner/fundraiser. Before the fundraiser, DeSantis went to pick up a six-figure donor check from Billionaire developer Joseph Cayre of Midtown Equities.
Cayre told DeSantis that he supported Zeldin’s Democrat opponent Kathy Hochul. The contingency for the contribution appeared to be that DeSantis would cancel attendance of the dinner for Zeldin. DeSantis took the Cayre donor check and at the last minute cancelled his attendance at the Zeldin dinner. {GO DEEP}
[…] While unable to attend the evening event, DeSantis was in Deal, New Jersey, earlier in the day at the home of Jay Cayre, head of Midtown Equities, sources told The Post. (link)
Team DeSantis tried to sell a story about an emergency funeral the following day for slain police officer Jose Perez as the reason for his cancellation. However, we did a deep dive on the details and the timeline, and nothing matched the claims by DeSantis. {GO DEEP}
Officer Perez died on August 20th. The funeral was announced by the family and FDLE on August 26th, to be held August 29th.
When DeSantis left Florida on August 28th to pick up the check from Cayre and then attend the dinner later that night, he was well aware of the Perez funeral the next day. DeSantis took the time to pick up the check, then cancelled the evening dinner with Zeldin.
Two months later, long after the value of the fundraising would have been useful, on October 30, 2022, DeSantis made a return trip to New York to fulfill his obligation.
With only a week left before the 2022 mid-term election the value of the “fundraising window” had closed. DeSantis made an innocuous speech about police officer support, and then left New York. Essentially Zeldin was railroaded by the financial priority of the Florida Governor.
Actions create consequences.
Today, Lee Zeldin endorsed President Trump – who was very gracious in his appreciation and acceptance:
.
So, that’s how that happens….
Smart move.
Trump or nothing 2024
MAGA
Greg did an excellent job. One of the best interviews with our President Trump ever.
I think Faux News sealed DeSantis fate today. I am sure he will exit saying he was only exploring opportunities for Florida. I think he caught the Bush Strain of The Rove Virus.
I hope you’re right. Nothing good can come of Desantis running for President.
Lee Zeldin is awesome. He was speaking in supportive terms in December 2017 when the Russia Hoax was starting. He was a Congressman and had Trump’s back even then.
Agreed, but he seemed torn at that time between endless crust less cucumber sandwiches and MAGA as he was always in the rear as sort of a “silent” endorsement.
RDS is toast — he has only $ and as we all know you can’t take it with you – PDJT has REAL supporters. Thank God for PDJT! MAGA = Man Asked And God Answered.
I dunno. $$$$$ probably buys a LOT of fake ballots / fake votes……….. Just ask Mitch McConnell and other GOPe RINOs who keep getting re-elected “election” after “election”.
GB Bari you are correct about the “fake” ballots BUT hopefully we have learned the hard way and we will fix this sh%t NOW! And regarding Mitch? Hoping he is no longer part of the problem 😉
Mitch may not run again but I’d bet he is still behind the scenes pulling whatever strings he can to keep his globalist bribes coming in. He is very much Deep State-aligned.
The big question is how many ballots will Rupert’s $787M buy on behalf of dominion which “had” a worth of what…$80M?
Yeah and that put Jeb over the top.
RDS only has the $ of his donors. He has no wealth of his own. And it appears that the only support RDS has currently is that of his $ donors, not the support of FL or other American citizens.
In his naivete, he jumped on a bandwagon laden with Globalists, in their effort to end the MAGA movement. Big mistake.
I remember when he was speaking in Rochester NY and some clown attacked him.
yeah, that little toy will put out your eyes
good thing Zeldin didn’t let it
interpreting this photo, I think it captures the instant where Zeldin had reacted instinctively to block the arm …
… but is still looking closely at the weapon while his brain is whirring to decipher what the hell it is
just guessing of course, but I’d bet a donut
Another Ray Epps? I mean FBI employee
Same thing.
Going to be another “Flight 93 Election”
Except this time the guy trying to get back into the cockpit has had some actual flying lessons while those now at the controls still want to crash the plane.
Zeldin for VP?
No, but we now have a LONG list of MAGA Patriots that have already (ironically) been “vetted” as a direct effect of constant, unrelenting attacks incurred by their support of MAGA, and PDJT has a large contingent from which to fill his administration.
A “deep bench” of not only the Candidates (KL, Karamo, DePerno, Mastriano and many, many more.
EACH of those candidates has numerous people ON THEIR CAMPAIGN STAFFS, that have, similarly endured a test of fire.
And, PDJT has been “taking names, and checking them twice”. He KNOWS who is “naughty”( RINO) and who is “NICE” (authentic MAGA).
And, they will come to DC, not for a “career” but to wreck the place, to war upon those who stole their legitimate win from them, and well aware it was the RNC, Mitch and Kevin, and they will NOT be decieved by the RINOS.
“…to wreck the place, to war upon those who stole their legitimate win from them…”
Damned Skippy!!!
I’d like Zeldin as head of the GOP. He has a vision for the party and the country, and can build it.
No, Trump needs someone from a swing state who has already won a state-wide election.
MI changed its constitution to include the steal-the-vote the Dems tried to pass in Congress. MN may enact the same steal-the-vote now that the Dems control the legislature.
WI now has a left-leaning supreme court that may nullify election integrity laws.
The road to 270 is harder this time.
I don’t know—could a Trump-Zeldin ticket could turn NY into a ‘swing state’?
I don’t see how DeSantis could win. The polls are a disaster for him; evidently, he’s bad with people and has no ground game beyond shills. The Cruz campaign was way more competent.
He doesn’t worry me. President Trump has had him on the radar for some time and handled him masterfully.
They’ll have to jail or bar President Trump in order to deny him the nomination.
The big issue is the ballot harvesting in the general. At this point, the DeSantis campaign can only be used to distract President Trump from the actual thread. Which is probably also the point of the Soviet-style “legal” campaign against him.
Jailing or barring PDJT won’t stop me from voting for him.
If Trump isn’t under a button to vote
The button will meeting
Mr. Eastwing 🔨
If polls and “votes” actually still mattered only the Bushetts and their buddy Karl Rove would pretend DeSoros has a shot at anything outside of Florida. As it is with all of the political appointment theft machinery still firmly in place, Rhonda might have some razor thin, less than a snowball’s chance in August along the equator of being appointed.
That’d require the GOPe to do what they haven’t been doing to this point.
A friend of mine tonight showed me that her Facebook feed gets dozens of “DeSantis stories” every day, even though she doesn’t support him and hasn’t asked for stories on DeSantis. And she gets at least 4 or 5 emails a day from his campaign. It’s like his campaign is flooding the social media space.
What campaign? <sarc>
Whether DeSantis wins or not is immaterial. The Democrat party is wholly co-opted now. If DeSantis is the Republican nominee, then the Uniparty is in its accustomed position of controlling both wings of the ‘choice illusion’. If the choice is between Uni-Republican and Uni-Democrat, then the Uniparty wins and sets the agenda either way.
That is why Trump is so dangerous. As I’ve posted, barring Trump dropping out of the race, a vote for anyone but him is a vote to burn it all down and to allow the globalist vultures to pick over the remains of what used to be a great country.
The DeSantis campaign is nothing more than a uniparty effort to stop Trump. They know DeSkunk cannot beat Trump nor can he win the general election. Thus, they’re putting up the McCain/Romney play calling and will aid and abet a prosecution of Trump in order to lose and go full bore WEF 1000 points of light NWO. Book it and Bank it.
God, looking more and more that Ronny is nothing more than Fla SWAMP SLIME.
That’s not God’s fault!!!

Not really. RFK will only be a problem if the messaging apparatus collapses, and I don’t see the deep state allowing that to happen.
Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration because mojados killed the wages of legal farm workers.
Exactly. Chavez worked to improve the lives of the farm workers here legally and opposed illegal immigration. The Dem Party has completely reversed their position on everything.
Janice Joplin, is that you?
Is it Ronna Romney without makeup? 🤔
THAT’S what I was thinking!
Whats his name?
Rhonda is just like the rest of the rino puppets. Pretending he would be a good representative of anyone but himself and his donors. However, he’s hitting a brick wall named PDT
I believe one of Gov. Ron DeSantis “consultants” is Karl Rove aka “Turd Blossom”..
“Turd Blossom”
helped elect “quality”Democrat Senatorial
candidate John
Fetterman. Apparently Rove preferred Fetterman over Dr. Oz.
Meanwhile, the Florida legislature is in session which ends in May, and the governor is out of the country. Somethings not right about this especially when the Florida homeowners insurance needs to be fixed as people are starting to move out of state as it has become too expensive here.
OUCH!!! Our VSGPDJT has it all figured out!!!
DESANTIS IS RUINING HIS CAREER !
Trump-Zeldon for the win.
Ask yourself this; is Zeldin (as good as he is) an inherently “insurance policy” for PDJT, against Impeachment or “Executive action” to remove PDJT from office?
That is, would they hesitate at such action, because his VP would, from their point of view, be “even worse”?
Lets face it, Joe was great Insurance for Obama, Harris is great Insurance for Joe.
If you agree that “Well, no Lee Zeldin is probably NOT a good “Insurance policy” VP, then ask yourself “Well, WHO IS”?
IMHO, only ONE NAME fills the bill, and no it is NOT RFK Jr.
The RFKjr simps are out of control!
Colonel West.
Or 3-star?
“Insurance policy … only ONE NAME fills the bill”…
Steve Bannon?
Tucker Carlson?
“Joe was great Insurance for Obama, Harris is great Insurance for Joe.”
From the Dem’s point of view. they’re both dithering idiots.
But Bannon or Carlson are good insurance for Trump, not because they’re “worse”, but because they’re even more conservative, and more able to articulate those views, than Trump.
Kari Lake for Vice President.
***?
Cabinet position.
One has to wonder how much of his campaign donations originated in China.
i know that one of Ronnie’s major donors is part-owner of Tik Tok
Honestly, I couldn’t care less how much.
Because either way, he and the neocon cabal he belongs to are gonna try to start a war with them when the time is convenient.
Yep, another sell out to globalists elites and their money.
McConnell just younger.
Speaking of scum
-Where is Mitch?
Back in the Senate.
If you had said “Lindsey” or “Mitt” or any of a # of backstabbing RINOS, I wouldn’t bother to weigh in, but,…
No, on his best day, RDS couldn’t tie Mitchs shoes.
RDS is a lightweight, Mitch is a true HEAVY WEIGHT, a master of strategy and tactics, he did FAR more to undermine PDJT, and stall/derail the MAGA agenda than Nancy did,…and SHE impeached PDJT, TWICE!
Mconnell has ALWAYS been the black, twisted heart of the Swamp, RDS is simply not even close to being in Mitchs league.
I had forgotten that DeSantis snubbed him because of a liberal donor. I thought it was just because he’s an all around jerk.
Bobblehead Ron is looking like a kamikaze pilot that missed the ship and crashed into the drink.
Who dresses this badly to meet foreign leaders?
Platform shoes looking totally ridiculous.
Pants too short.
Governor Floods 🤣
They couldn’t even get that detail right! And we’re supposed to trust him with the keys to the nuclear launch buttons? Yikes!
Yeah, I’m hopeless like that too, like any rocket scientist nerd, but at least I have a super attentive gf that without fail catches details like that before I leave the house looking like a dork. Doesn’t RdS have a wife?
Jill is more concerned with her tiara shopping than the break of hubby’s trousers (Casey is her middle name).
OMG! Flood pants and his suit is too small. Idiot!
He always looks rumpled. And like his tailor hates him.
His choice of high water pants remind me he has the same tailor as The Frenchie, Macrone…
And his wife is there with him.. she didn’t see it?
They’re naturally
ClassE
Klass, with a capital “K”😂
His shoe soles look dirty!
Joy, pure joy.
And just in case you missed Meatball bobble head.
Creepy. Just creepy.
Kamala with her donkey laugh
&
Mr. Meatball
-with Hillary’s head
JERKS
Duh boad of ‘em 😳
Was that real? It reminds me of that one of Hillary doing the open mouth bobble head. Very very strange.
Maybe the uppers they give some of these puppets has this side effect? It is very much like sHrillary.
This was clear from Day one…DeSantis still sneaks around the country, and now the world, pretending to be a good guy. Well, NOBODY is fooled.
Despicable man that meatball.
Actually, that they chose THIS GUY, to be THE lynchpin, that they are pinning their hopium plans on keeping “Trump” out of the Oval, by any means neccesary, is heartening.
Their WHOLE plan rested on him; the indictments, having Joe supporting the “too old” argument, EVERYTHING depended on Ron, as “Americas Governor” (rip off on Rudys “Americas Mayor” title) and so being portrayed as “Trump without the baggage” (mean tweets, indictments, and younger!) all was secondary to pushing “New Coke” as better than original Coke,….
and it ain’t WORKING.
So we can see the desanctus ship of fools easily bought off, now shipwrecked.
Good!
Trump is who we need .
Another big one rolls in. PDJT consolidating support while Meatball bobble head is hanging out in foreign countries.
WOW!
Not a fan of Zeldin due to his neocon positions on foreign policy, but yeah DeSantis totally deserved that slap in the face.
DeSantis no longer has any friends.
Desantis needs to stop playing this stupid game. It’s not tactical its insulting. Let Florida’s peoplr know youre out and get in the ring with Trump. Trump will win.
DeSantis just isn’t ready for prime time. The longer this goes, the worse it is for him.
For his own good and future he needs to salvage his reputation and earn credibility for the future.
I can’t help thinking that the donors and anti Trump strategists were desperate and painted him an unrealistic picture. Since all politicians have ambitions, it’s easy to tempt them with the lure of power, prestige and money.
If he is a man of character he will do the honorable thing. Get out with some dignity and rehabilitate himself in his current position.
CHEF 👨🍳 BOY RD
has no future
And for you to say he does
That means you don’t get it
And I feel sorry for you!
“If he is a man of character he will do the honorable thing.”
I think that shipped has sailed as evidenced by the subject of this, Lee Zeldin.
Sundance- I cannot thank you enough for reporting this story!
I should have known there was some kind of GOP treachery behind this, given everything that happened with Zeldin’s campaign.
Myself and many other MAGA Republicans worked our asses off for Lee Zeldin in the months before the November election.
He had tremendous support throughout the state and it is my firm belief that just as with our President Trump, the election was stolen from Lee.
It has been documented by election integrity groups that there are over a million phantom voters in NY. Plus, New York is the state that practically invented election cheating way back with Tammany Hall.
The head of the NY GOP at the time was Tricky Nicky Langworthy one of the dirtiest RINOs ever to have that post.
He sabotaged Zeldin, Gina Arena and Joe Pinion, the excellent Republican slate that was running against the Commie Hochul team.
All that Langworthy cared about was getting himself elected to Congress which he did, no doubt using at least some of the donations that were meant for the Zeldin team. (long story that does not bear repeating here).
So DeSantis was in on it too. I am going to share this with my NY MAGA friends far and wide.
What a disgrace.
DeSantis was in on the sabotage of ALL the gubernatorial candidates who lost. Especially Lake and Mastriano, who he saw as threats.
“The head of the NY GOP at the time was Tricky Nicky Langworthy one of the dirtiest RINOs ever to have that post.
He sabotaged Zeldin, Gina Arena and Joe Pinion, the excellent Republican slate that was running against the Commie Hochul team.”
Being in Western NY, I am painfully aware of Mr. Langworthy. I worked to support Mr. Carl Paladino for that position.
The Republicrap party in NYS has a long record of getting qualified candidates to run on the (R) line in NYS. However, when it comes to financially supporting them to mount a successful campaign against an incumbent Demonrat, they keep their cash in their coffers and leave their candidate to fend for themselves, investing their own time, energy and financial resources. I have first hand knowledge of this.
RIGHT THE HELL ON!!
As a fellow New Yorker you know exactly what I’m talking about.
What Langworthy did to Paladino stank to high heaven. And you are 1000% right about what the State GOP does to our candidates.
I believe that Zeldin actually WON the election. Hochul was not popular as you know. Audit NY has documented how they cheat with phantom voters.
I agree New York voted for Zeldin.
Follow the money.
Hey, all is not lost. Fox News is behind DeSantis.
Oh, wait…..
Never mind.
ROFLOL!!! Thanks for the laugh!
Florida needs a governor. If this guy no longer wants the job then He should step down.
He needs to step down, yesterday.
He is now a political stooge for hire.
Not meant for an insult to the three real Stooges, although anyone was better than Shemp.
Zeldins loss in NYS, for Governor was VERY close, IIRC he got 49 percent.
DeSantis had a “landslide” with far more votes than he needed to win (exactly as intended, IMHO his Dem opponents job was to INSURE RDS WON).
My point is, if all those MAGA people who fled NYS for sunny Florida, had STAYED in NYS, and worked hard to fight ballot fraud, fought in their local and State R party, etc. we may have has Zeldin as Gov. of NYS, which would have exposed the lies of the midterms, which far too many on “our side” still believe and amplify.
I would say that for Governorships, in 2022 the enemies two biggest priorities were to prevent KL from winning, and prevent Zeldin from winning.
And in closing I remind you it is THE Association of GOVERNORS that is currently a major player in pushing RDS and the enemies agenda.
It would take Only One Governor with nads to bring the whole thing down!
Where is Waldo?
Waldo was Gov. Eric Greitens of Missouri. The Missouri Repulbican cabal took him out right after he messed with their low income housing money making scheme. Josh Hawley (as attorney general) helped and our new senator Eric Schmitt was also part of the cabal as state treasurer, later appointed by our fake governor to take Josh’s place as attorney general. The Republicans worked with Soros prosecutor to get rid of Greitens. Greitens is a Rhodes scholar that became an America first Governor and they couldn’t have that. Greitens then ran for Senator in 2022 and lost the primary to who? Eric Schmitt.
Agreed, the governors are a big problem. In December 2020 they elected Doug Ducey as chairman of the Republican Governors Assoc. A big middle finger to all of us.
B-I-N-G-O!
Still surprising how many people think DeSantis is VP material or a legit 2024 top of ticket material. Dog catcher in a Florida village would be an impossible reach for him. Enjoy the suck,Ron. It’s well deserved.
That is just people telling you how under informed they are.
It’s amazing how many people are lazy with thier research on subjects or they rely on others for information.
It’s not that hard to find.
CHEF Boy RD is a green retard who is open for buisness
A WEFsellout pos if I ever saw one!
It’s the little things that put a grin on my face. Love it!
I’ve never seen someone bury their political futures so quickly or so poorly. RdS is messier with his scat than my Tommy Cat.
Busted Cant hide forever. Bunker Boy vs. Trump Man
Give him a can of Raid and send him to the basement. 😂
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Getting everyone on the same page is important. Without a unified message and voice, people will continue to be confused about the MAGA platform. Trump builds relationships. DeSantis builds a bank account.
And what social club does Cayre belong to?
Yep, again.
It’s good.
Don’t know what happened months ago for Zeldin, but he should have succeeded McRomney as RNC Chair, if the RNC cared a about locking in a win in 2024.
President Trump can out spend Meatball.
its not money … it is envelopes … everybody needs to get on board
That too.
Money buys envelopes
You know, looking back, the way Ron iced out Lee during that period was just soo bad. He tried to make it up with another hastily prepared event. This is the guy that’s gonna unite the party? Ha!
Ron’s jumped in the murky deep end and now he’s drowning,not a face that is exuding confidence nor one you would place trust in or expect loyalty from.
MAGA all the way!
You won’t hear about this on the new 8 o’clock spot on Faux News tonight.
When DeSantis did go back to New York to “campaign” for Lee Zeldin, Lee Zeldin was doing quite well in the polls compared to how he was doing when DeSantis was supposed to speak at the dinner. President Trump did endorse Zeldin and campaigned for him when it mattered.
I always taught my children that it was rude to cancel at the last minute
because one receives a better offer. A sign of bad character.
Talking about walls closing in!
More of this! Scorched earth on these backstabbers.
100% ULTRA MAGA !
Another backstabber is alleged pro-life leader Marjorie Dannenfelser.
The evil hag denounced President Trump when one of his staffers called abortion a state by state matter.
She sat on a plan to expose Planned Parenthood staffers who refused to report underage girls as sexual abuse victims tens of thousands of times across the USA in the 2010s.
While she was a paid advisor to President Trump on pro-life issues.
Marjorie was a pro-abort Republican from Duke U who saw more people in the party didn’t share her views. So she became a pro-life paid shill.
Marjorie wh red for Ted Cruz in 2016. She attacked Mr. Trump on the Sean Hannity Show while Jeff Lord Defended Mr. Trump. Hannity sounded like an arrogant but confused gerbil on that broadcast.
President Trump overlooked Marjorie’s personal attacks and hired her. She was ineffective, and essentially protective of Planned Parenthood by shortstopping the effort to get their protectors of rapists punished.
The investigators used other means to get the info to President Trump in 2020, and he promised he would act against Planned Parenthood rape protectors if the evidence they gave him panned out.
Most pro-life group leaders are ingrates and/or knuckleheads. If you are pro-life, the Thomas More Society headed by Tom Brejcha and Operation Rescue headed by Troy Newman actually fight abortion providers and try to put them out of business ….. and defend other pro-lifers who are government targets.
Bobblehead Ron’s too busy in Japan LARPing that he’s already the President meeting heads of states. He just expects people to do his bidding.
Thanks Sonya. Bobblehead indeed. Reminded me of Hillary with the tremulous head talking to reporters also spewing garbage.
He’s a sneaky bastard. If he doesn’t want people speculating about him running, he could end the speculation in about 30 seconds at any one of the many PC’s he does on a weekly basis. In fact, he had the chance to commit to Floridians during the last election and he refused. This is just another one of those things I would expect from the GOPe. I’m sure Karl Rove thinks he has us all fooled and that he’s a genius but he’s really not.
Karl Rove reminds me of a jar of mayonnaise.
Nah…. one is good for you, palatable, and something you want, and seek out. The latter is a treasonous bolshevik with a knotted rope in his future. Just sayin……
Rove is a soft little toad
Yes, after the jar sat in the Texas sun for a month. Rancid Rove.
Good heavens! Bobble head Ron is an embarrassment.
Ah shucks…Little Ragu is probably just on a “fact finding” mission.
You know trying to learn about sushi and saki and such.
It’s not like there is a fuel issue on the east coast of Florida.
