DeSantis Misses His Moment

DeSantis could have presented himself as the opposition to Soros-funded District Attorneys and their neo-Bolshevik tactics.

According to the Federal Election Committee, Hillary Clinton lied about the use of campaign funds by misreporting her funding of the infamous Steele dossier as legal expenses:

“By intentionally obscuring their payments through Perkins Coie and failing to publicly disclose the true purpose of those payments,” the campaign and DNC “were able to avoid publicly reporting on their statutorily required FEC disclosure forms the fact that they were paying Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on Trump with the intent of influencing the outcome of the 2016 presidential election,” the initial complaint had read.

Clinton is not under criminal investigation for these lies. Trump may be turning himself in soon for the same offense.

What should DeSantis have done?

Trump has smeared DeSantis. MAGA influencers repeatedly lie about DeSantis. There’s even a meme circulating, which suggests that a college graduate cannot stop by a party of college-aged women. Nasty stuff.

Which is why DeSantis blew his moment. He issued a statement that led strong, and then ended in possible political suicide.

I saw the full comment. Pasting:

“I've seen rumors swirl. I have not seen any facts yet. And so I don't know what's gonna happen. But I do know that this Manhattan District Attorney is a Soros funded prosecutor. And so he, like other Soros funded prosecutors, they weaponize… https://t.co/HRAaTX8Zx3

We are not involved in this, won’t be involved in this. I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA. He’s trying to do a political spectacle. He’s trying to virtue signal for his base. Uh, I’ve got real issues I gotta deal with here in the state of Florida. We’re obviously shutting down, uh, C B D C, which is important. We’ve got so many things pending in front of the legislature. I’ve gotta spend my time on issues that actually matter to people. I can’t spend my time, worrying about things of that nature. So, we’re not gonna be involved in it in any way. I’m fighting for Floridians and I’m fighting back against Biden. That’s what I do every single day.”

If you were sleeping during the 2015 GOP primary, you’d say this was a mighty fine statement of policy. It’s taking the high road.

Except it’s not. It looks weak.

The Bolsheviks have returned.

Stalin is smiling from Hell:

Joseph Stalin’s show trials were common during his political repressions, such as the Moscow Trials of the Great Purge period (1937–38). The Soviet authorities staged the actual trials meticulously.

The trials were held against Stalin’s political enemies, such as the Trotskyists and those involved with the Right Opposition of the Communist Party. The trials were shams that led to the execution of most defendants. Every surviving member of the Lenin-era part was tried, and almost every important Bolshevik from the Revolution was executed. Over 1,100 delegates to the party congress in 1934 were arrested. The killings were part of Stalin’s Great Purge, in which opportunists and Bolshevik cadres from the time of the Russian Revolution who could rally opposition to Joseph Stalin were killed. He did so at a time of growing discontent in the 1930s for his mismanagement of the Soviet economy, leading to mass famines during periods of rapid and poorly executed industrialization and farm collectivization.

Over 1,000 Americans are being prosecuted for engaging in peaceful protest by walking into the Capitol. Over 1,000 more face imminent arrest.

On May 29, 2020, BLM rioters forced President Trump into the White House bunker and burned a historic church. During the first week of the 2020 riots, 150 local & federal LEOs in DC were injured. The summer 2020 riots led to $2 billion in property damage & killed at least 19 pic.twitter.com/4gZfEYgUyZ

Some violent thugs are facing prosecution, as they should be. But the vast majority of people having their lives upended did what AOC ordered her mentions to do. Occupy the Capitol.

We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy.

The Department of Justice plans to indict another 1,000+ innocent people, using the tactics of Josef Stalin and the show trial era.

DC judges are fully on board, and they’ve prohibited defendants from asking why it is that Kanvaugh can be stalked at his home, rioters can try breaking into the Supreme Court, courthouses can be burned down, and the White House can be attacked … but random people who walked into the Capitol on January 6th are special cases?

Did someone say an official proceeding was disrupted on January 6th? Yes, that happened during the Kavanaugh hearings as well. And unlike J6, the vote was delayed.

0 criminal charges were brought for this.

Activists (not called an insurrection) stormed Congress to force a delay on Kavanaugh vote.

Tried pounding down SCOTUS door (which is too massive to break into).

Literally took over Speaker Pelosi’s office.

Led by AOC!

But now it’s a coup? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/A3a3kGMaTB

Election lies are bad. Great. Why didn’t DOJ take action against the perjurers who lied during the Kavanaugh hearings?
