Yeah, he really did that. Folks, I’m not sharing this to be snarky about Ron DeSantis per se’, this isn’t actually his messaging. It’s worth looking at this through the prism of who is operating the management, branding and communication effort. This level of ridiculous religious pandering is stunningly identical to Ted Cruz in the early 2016 GOP nomination.
The DeSantis campaign knows they need to target evangelical and faith-based voters. Put a group of people who are not actually centered on the principles of faith in charge of a political campaign, tell them they need to appeal to faith-based voters, and this is exactly what you get.
The DeSantis campaign organizes what should be an interview with friendly allies in the Christian Broadcasting Network. [Full Interview Here]Β CBN’s David Brody then interviews Ron DeSantis asking him what historic figures he would associate himself with. DeSantis’s answer is so far beyond pandering cringe, it makes you seriously wonder who constructed this messaging for him [likely, Jeff Roe]. WATCH:
.
Grandma’s rules apply to me providing any further commentary on the issue, but wow – just wow.
That campaign must be under so much external pressure from the GOPe donors, it’s unreal to watch.
He’s gone full Ted Cruz – heck he’s gone past Ted. Wow
Ted – phony as he was could at least fake the Evangelical. DeSantis being a lapsed Catholic (not religious at all really) can’t even fake it.
Let the Judas memes FLOW
Ted the Evangelical always made me cringe, so did his side-kick that was foaming at the mouth to get a place in the White House, the Cheeto Man Glenn Beck.

Ron DeSantis: Cultural MAGA Crisis Actor
?v=63848652714
Ron DeSantis is a Cultural MAGA crisis actor, embedded in the MAGA movement by the Establishment Deep State.

I’ve never heard of “Cultural MAGA” before your post.
I am SUPER intrigued to snoop around.
To my SURPRISE, you could LOOK but you couldn’t touch. They were “CLOSED for BUSINESS!

Can’t open link, tried a variety of ways. Apparently, it’s so full of information it’s been censored. Sounded interesting.

Nailed it, Mac!
Agree and it was not his idea. I believe he is being forced into it.
What on earth are you saying? He wasn’t “forced” into anything.
He CHOSE to run Against, rather than With, the Greatest POTUS.
He deserves no excuses.
Get a grip.
Excellent and important summary of what’s afoot. Beck and Cruz did this to the Tea Party. Now, the same team is working on overthrowing MAGA. But because Trump was able to show all Americans how MAGA makes a bigger pie for everyone, the movement grew and became stronger.
Wow, he comes across like a guy playing a doofus in a sitcom. I’m literally embarrassed for him.
Ron D’ simp of the GOP simps, a branch of the Bush simps.
The family tree has no branches π±
“…there with them.”
I’m pretty sure he couldn’t hack it.
As Clint said: “A man’s gotta know his limitations.”
Oh, AMEN to that!
Ouch!
Judas was a disciple.
Ron DeSantis is a MAGA Judas.
Problem solved.
Judas DeSanctimonious.
“Jesus comes up to him and says,you know, you’re gonna be a fisher of men..” Sort of like when Ken Griffen came up to Ron and said, you know, you’re going to be a rich man and President, if you follow me.
Stunning. I came late to the party, rained all day and I lost the internet and time tending my garden. Can’t read so many pages, but glad I found the first comment. Great catch Sundance and so important for us to see with our own eyes.
I’m speechless…
…which for me is really saying something.
Jaw on the floor is not optimal form for enunciation according to speech therapists.
I’m having trouble pulling it back up.
Same.
I’m going to go fetch that ice cream to cure my woozies and ask people if they heard this yet!
Bon appetite!
Same here, Betsy!! That was just painful to watch, and yet, somehow, he still managed to deliver his lines with no apparent shame! Truly mind blowing, IMHO!
I see it as their using Almighty God for political purposes. Or trying to, vikingmom.
A line was crossed tonight. And I do not believe any of Desantis’s donors, or DeSantis himself, understand what they’ve done.
Yes, they are totally tone deaf, because that commercial they did with God having a role in choosing Ron was similarly revolting. They will do it again.
I am sure that the questions were provided in advance.
Me tooβ¦I am just shaking my head after openly chuckling at this narcissist in action.

Betsy jones not recommended viewing anytime, and definitely not before the morning’s first cup of coffee and associated spices.
Radical traditionalist Catholic and sworn enemy of fed jackboots here. While Iβd prefer a benevolent Catholic monarch to the system of knaves and psychopaths we have now, I will not now nor ever vote for globalist neocon shill Ron DeSantis, despite the fact that he is also Catholic. Taking my faith seriously, I know that Almighty God has often chosen imperfect men for monumental tasks. I stand with Trump because he is the only one fighting for the forgotten many.
Israel’s faithful regard Trump as Cyrus.
The world in its entirety needs his leadership.
I think, Maquis, many nations are waking up (finally) to that.
Never go full Ted Cruz!
At this point I await the Meatball to claim he’s also Donald John Trump.
Can’t trump the Trumpy Trump!

It is in The Book.
The majority of Biblical commentaries state that Judas likely killed himself by hanging off a tree that overlooked the valley of Hinnom.
Won’t be long before DeSantis declares himself “severely Christian.”
Will Ron start to say:
Well, my uncle and my aunt are really holy; really

As the outlet also reports, the mother, Karen’s sister is a nun and her brother is a priest.

Well he is following the Howard Dean model of implosion after his jackass impression, Not much further to sink now.
Yeaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Dean Scream is the sound that plays when I receive a new email at work. π
Oooof. Ron obviously did not see or hear of how disgusted people were every time the media tried painting Obama as some sort of savior, complete with a halo.
Or he doesn’t care.
O is not The One?
Did I miss something here?
Yes, the Chocolate Jesus or the Mulatto Messiah.
The Lightbringer.
The darkest of lights to bring to pass the final setting of this nation’s role as a light on a hill.
Disciples? Each denied knowing and one betrayed. Actually he is exactly like the disciples. Walking with greatness does not make one great. Claiming greatness based upon who you know or identify with HIDES who you really are.

Apparently, Ron Desantis is a political kamikaze aimed right at the Republican electorate. It’s more than clear that he’s working for those behind the scenes who manipulate everything to their advantage and profit. His intent is to keep his day job in Florida (legislators took care of that) while destroying our ability to elect someone we actually want.
I despise him more everyday.
I have felt sorry for him……. up to this point.
You know something…… I tend to have this exact same reaction!
Well said.
I feel sorry for the good people of Florida who got taken in by RDS.
He has been a way better governor than Gilliam would have been or Crist ever was. There is that. But is not and will never be MAGA.
Feel sorry for backstabbing President Trump!?ΒΏ
No, sorry that he’s is obviously not intelligent enough to realize he’s been/being advised and walked down a path that eventually leads over a cliff. It’s a bit sad, considering that he could have made different choices and been first in line to succeed President Trump in ’28, and enjoying a two-term run.
But if he doesn’t see it by now, any sympathy for him goes completely away.
I don’t think he’s dumb. I think he’s just greedy for money, fame and power. Calling him dumb gives him an excuse for what he’s doing. He chose to do this AFTER Trump had already declared that he was running for president. Giving him a pass because he got bad advice or he’s dumb or his wife wanted him to run is nonsense. This was a conscious decision by him to betray Trump and MAGA.
He surely is not wise, nor righteous.
How about both? Greed and lack of intelligence are frequently concentric. I didnβt mention Ron Dβs greed because I see it as being a dominant driver due to his limited foresight (intelligence). But youβre correct to note it as a motivator.
As for timing, Sundance has already made a solid case that DeSantisβ run for the presidency was begun before his run for governor.
This entire campaign was put together by the NeverTrump GOPe probably immediately after PDJT won in 2016.
Just another example that entry into the Ivy League does not necessarily connote superior intelligence.
DeSantis has a high IQ, he totally lacks the ability to see himself as others see him. He is not wise. His primary motive is money.
High IQ? I cannot recall seeing a reliable source discussing his IQ; didn’t know it was a matter of public knowledge. He certainly appears to be a bumbling fool when he’s away from Florida and trying to opine on subjects outside of that state.
I must admit that even I was surprised to see him look so amateurish and awkward when he went across country and overseas earlier this year. Whatever his intellectual strengths, they aren’t in the area of unscripted public speaking sans teleprompter.
The cliff was millions of dollars in his pocket for a shady book deal and more rewards yet unknown.
He made a business decision. Win or lose, he wins.
For the populace, this is fortuitous. There were those who thought he was Trump without the rough edges, this is making it totally clear that he is not even close.
I never felt sorry for him. He thought he was so de Sanctimonious!
30 pieces of silver worshipers are capable of pert near any heinous act
between desatanist and his limelight seeking wife, it’s those minor children of theirs that are most worthy of sympathy
I don’t understand feeling sorry for him like he was fooled or just an innocent bystander who got swept up in the moment. The guy went to Yale and then Harvard law school. He’s at least well credentialed if not well educated. He was elected to Congress in 2012 and has been governor of Florida since 2018. The man is not some naive goober who just wandered in off the street. He’s a political animal through and through. And as Sundance has noted, DeSantis and his team have been planning this for years. What is there to feel sorry about an ambitious politician who is now acting on his plan to become president?
Maybe he can get an Evangelical Glenn Beck to stump for him…
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/03/20/glenn_beck_refers_to_mormon_prophecy_while_stumping_for_ted_cruz_in_utah.html#!
Thanks a lot; now I dislike Glenn Beck even more. π€£
Beck has said several times that he regrets doing that. I respect when someone can admit a mistake.
The person who asked him the question is the founder of Wallbuilders and a buddy of Becks.
That man was so sure Ted would win and he would land an advisor or cabinet member position. It was very concerning watching him do his theater, it was like watching a bad movie that you could not stop watching. Mental illness on steroids.
Mocking God is a very dangerous thing. Maybe he hasn’t thought things through. Or maybe he has and believes in himself.
They dont believe in our God. Hes specifically targeting ignorant Conservative Christians. The kind of Conservatives who worship celebrities like Tucker Carlson.
No mercy
Really? I am a member of the 700 club and I donβt think i am an ignorant Christian.
I have already complained.β¦..and that picture comes across as disrespectful of Jesus.

Trump so nailed this didn’t he?!
This is peak Sanctimonious, you might not like what it looks like, but experts have concluded being such a human lightning rod will win elections.
People are going to need to observe a safe blast zone around him from here on out; comeuppance is, well, a bitch.
Yes sir. Soon he will be (self) De-Sanctified.
Yes indeedy.
President Trump hammered it
~with one whack !
Faith based voters don’t usually like to see ingratitude and dissembling behavior in regards to Chef Boy RD’s treatment of President Trump and his intimating he would complete his term as Florida’s Governor……
Actions not words is always the measure, always the yardstick!
Little RdS. Well bless his heart!
reminds me of something…
Which disciple? Judas
He could have mentioned being a MAGA follower of President Trump. He was teed up with a big fat slow pitch over the middle of the plate and he managed to hit himself in the back of his own head with his bat. What a maroon!
Why didnβt he wait til 2028?
He could have been perfectly positioned then.
They only want to take down Trump, RdS has value in that effort alone, the Club made him a one time only offer, there would never have been a 2028.
I get that. But really, no candidate is going to take down Trump. Thatβs the work of Lawfare / RNC.
I guess it makes sense under the assumption that someone has to be the nominee in that case.
Whoever it is , if Trump is taken out, will get slaughtered. The base will just sit it out.
Let some loser with no future at all get sacrificed.
No Republican other than Trump has a shot in the general, in my opinion.
Which is why they chose someone they view as disposable.
Bingo!
True! He’s Judas!!
Inauthentic people rarely fool truly authentic people.
Run Forest!!, Run!!!!
Ick!
Watch as he starts carrying The Holy Bible everywhere.
No, not everywhere that would offend some of the other groups heβs pandered to. Only around those he thinks are evangelicals.
That and hot sauceβ¦he puts that sheeet on everything π€£
π€£π€£π€£
Well he did release the God Made a Figher ad, maybe there’ll be a sequel …
excerpt from the ad —
βAnd on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a protector. So God made him a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn and kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people, to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness, So God made a fighter. ”
…it gets worse from there ..
I think the ad dropped just before the Nov election.
God Made a Fighter not Figher (sigh, sticky keys)
………So God made a fighter.
Paul Harvey rolling in his grave right about now.
Yep, it was a pathetic riff on Harvey’s classic commentary “God Made A Farmer”.
Florida resident here. The first time I saw that ad I seriously thought it was some kind of parody and the tagline would be “brought to you by the Babylon Bee”. I could not believe the sheer in-your-face audacity of it. Yet I never saw anything afterwards that alluded to it and the blasmephous, if it weren’t so ridiculously absurd, implication. I thought it must be the misguided one-off brainchild of a soon to be former campaign ad creator. It turns out I was the misguided one and wasn’t able to see that the emperor had no clothes.
Posted in reply to Sunrei’s reference to the “God Made a Fighter” campaign ad.
Therein lies the genesis of the “Ron DeSanctimonious” monicker.
Yes Sundance nailed it again. DeSantis =Jesus?? His handlers are awful. I am not a Florida resident but I just loved & cheered all De Santis did to staunch the Covid CDC/ main stream news/ Fauci lies. He is/ was a great governor. But no no no there is only one to get our country back on track- (my real President) Donald J. Trump . Thatβs all folks!
He could have been a better governor if he hadnβt 5aken his eye of the ball.
He was allowed to staunch Covid. It was a set up from the start. The vaxx is still a legal medical procedure in Florida.
I just love that lightning bolt!
Well done!
Nicely charred.
Pussyfooting Puddin’.
Oh my! Yes the pandering is off the scale and mind boggling bad, but it yet again reinforces the inauthentic nature of this guy – nobody but nobody thinks like this or says things like this.
At this rate this guy will be lucky to get 10% in the polling… This is one of the worst run campaigns ever.
It is hard to even comprehend what I have just watched! These people are so detached from everyday people it is actually frightening!
Maybe he should quit while heβs π‘π’π§ ahead β¦..π€¦ββοΈ
Well there isnt much opposition from the DemScum–yet Their sainted golden boy Biden has lost it
Babbling Biden tells Connecticut crowd ‘God save the queen, man’ at end of baffling speech where he joked about being 110 and said ‘don’t make me a dog-faced lying pony soldier’

He must have been referring to the Drag Queen he hosted at the WH because he had no love for the late Queen Elizabeth
Didn’t he already do a “and then God created Ron” ad?
Yes, on the Eighth Day, God created a Fighter, to defend His Creation.
π₯΄
Mocking God is not a wise thing to do. Nobody in their proper mind would do such a thing.
I need a scalding hot shower.
This is called a flailing campaignβ¦if I didnβt know better, Iβd say heβs trying to sabotage his own campaign.
Sundance is correct here, these are not Rob’s words, he is an empty vessel, almost literally, these words have been written for him and he hasn’t the sense or the humility or decency to refuse.
DeSanctimonious has fully prostituted himself; he is utterly void of dignity.
I always have a hard time relating even one little bit with someone with no moral core, but youβre right, he has no sense of humility or decency. What a shame Meatball whored himself out.
DeSantis, being a well known backstabber, wishes he were the original Judas
He’ll settle for DeeBrutus.
Judasantis
He wants to be King Herod.
Caligula vs Herod appears to be the Clubs’ consensus candidates.
Judas?
Reminds me of when President Trump first coined the “SeSanctimonious” label… shortly after the release of the ad below.
Ayup.
Nailed it.
Edit: βDeSanctimoniousβ
Wow – I had never seen that before.
That is just so sad…….
those Billionaire puppet masters are stringing him up high.
Well this is embarrassingβ¦but not surprising. Itβs what happens when you sell your soul.
Cringe is right!
So pre-prepared and fake.
Sigh! Grifting on Jesus 101. Seen it so many times.
Does this now remove all the Mason rumors surrounding him.
Trump 2024 all the way!
Perfect DeScription for DeSantis; “Grifting on Jesus 101”
The moment I heard DeSantis changed the FL requirements to run for President WHILE maintaining the office of governor, along with all the hushing up of the travel records made me question his intentions …. then transferring campaign funds from the gubernatorial war chest to his presidential PAC? FL donated money for him to fulfill his term as governor, not possibly quit after a few months (still holding on to the gov gig and hedging his bets). Pres Donald J Trump was right again! I don’t trust DeSantimonius now.
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matthew 6:5

Well Ron, even if you were there it is unlikely you would have been among the chosen. First of all, you aren’t Jewish.
But let’s take it further for fun.
Which disciple do you most identify yourself with, and remember, in order to follow Jesus you will have to give up all your treasure. You know, the $80 million plus for your campaign.Poof!
Still interested?
Even his Ten Million book deal pocket change?
Wow – just wow…as my children will testify, I am VERY seldom speechless but I got nothing here…just WOW! (insert eyeroll here!)
Hey we are all sinners, but the political “religious” are in a different class. Recently we have had the “devout” Biden and Pelosi. We have heard of the Bible study group with Herr Mueller and Billy Bagpipes. None of the lessons seems to include the Ten Commandments.
I can remember early Bill Clinton carrying the Bible by his side and, again more recently, the supposedly Christian Obamboozler and his Marxist minister friend.
It’s more theater to fool The Sheeple. Clinton and Gore once went on a program having something to do with the South and country people. They both wore jeans or coveralls with flannels and they actually stuck a blade of hay in their mouths while they were talking.
Pence is the most successful bamboozler in recent memory. Evangelicals in Bible churches, particularly some pastors, totally bought his act. He actually did a tour.
Ugh.
π¬
I’ve seen this kind of behavior before, from Jim Jones… in case that name doesn’t ring a bell…
He is desperate.
Well, still can’t copy and paste…so imagine a clip from the Blues Brothers….the “bring me four fried chickens…” scene…
And after the “mission from God”…..
Aretha Says….”Don’t you blaspheme in here…”….”you better think…”….
In Ted’s defense, at least his girls were dressed in party dresses for his announcement….no fashion faux pax as I recall.
Meanwhile, at Dodger stadium, there was a demonstration I think with a counter demonstration as the crazies attacked Catholicism about the Feast of the Sacred Heart.
The spiritual battle is now fully in the open
Powerful moment.
Sadly, the clergy are invisible.
The Holy Church universal is stepping up to fill the leadership void.
Respect to Posobiec.
Now the Fibbies will be picking off everyone in attendance for saying The Lord’s Prayer in Latin.
When you think about Vin Scully, a devout Catholic –
also, Tommy LaSorda, fighting for the nuns whose convent was being sold out from under them . . .
I think various old-time people from the “Dodger family” went to Fordham, including Buzzy Bevasi and Vin Scully.
This is a travesty!
I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ. Do you have a problem with that?
Are you an Apostle?
One of those selected to build His Church?
That’s who Soyball compared himself too.
Remember the reporter he recently scolded and insulted for asking a simple question? Well, if he was really there at the time of Jesus he wouldn’t have known Jesus from Adam, and would have scorned his invitation with all the same charm and class.
He’s already shown us who he really is.
Well done.
Flashback : βAnd on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a protector. So God made him a fighter” God needs a protector? That is one huge unbiblical substitute.
That alone is all anyone needs to know about any evangelical panderings from RDS.
