Every person has skeletons in their closet. Everyone. Does anyone really know Ron DeSantis? The man has few friends. What little we do know does not tell us details except his thirst for power as an autocrat in the name of freedom. Ha ! Freedom my hind end.
We know very little about his wife. It is like she just dropped out of the sky a full grown woman that was a TV anchor. We know she was born in Ohio and went to college in South Carolina.
Who is she?
It is past time for some journalists to dig a little deeper. Why did two governor nominees not get out their dust busters?
It took republicans no time to just dig every little nook and cranny on the Clintons and Obamas. Hell they complained about Obama’s tan suit.

DeSantis wants ban on COVID mask and vaccine mandates to be permanent
This is from today’s paper at the Tampa Bay Times.
…………………………………………………………………………………...
Who is he personally? Yeah we know he served in the military and at Gitmo but who were his friends? What was his MO in combat? Who were previous relationships? We know almost nothing of his life growing up except that he played ball. We know after digging that he was a teacher in Georgia but everyone is pretty quiet about him. We know he went to Harvard and Yale but do we know what he did in those years? No, not really. What real freedom loving Americans who wish to take precautions of infectious diseases do not like what they do know.
Upon searching, we know this and this is about it. For a public figure, he is not very public except what he wants people to hear from his wife’s lips to the voting public’s ears.

As a politician, Ron DeSantis is an oddity. He is a populist who, according to an expanding roster of ex-aides, has little feeling for actual people and scant talent for retail politics. He does not work a room like Charlie Crist, his current Democratic opponent who served as governor from 2007 to 2011, nor does he engage in the standard niceties. (An average of polls compiled by the FiveThirtyEight blog earlier this month gave DeSantis a 7.3 percentage point lead over Crist.)
He is known to wear earbuds to deflect social interactions. Besides his wife, his most trusted adviser, he has few friends, let alone confidantes, they say. “There are no ‘DeSantis people’ in Tallahassee,” says a former aide, referring to Florida’s state capital. This person describes the governor as “almost Nixonian” in his reclusiveness and willingness to not make friends. “If Ron DeSantis gets to the White House, there’s going to be nobody with him,” they say. (DeSantis declined to comment for this article.)
We do know he does not like women or anyone to correct him. He called Asian food as Thigh food and quit dating someone because she dared correct him
At Yale, he also found refuge at the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, an athlete-heavy club that featured barrels of beer and prominent former members, including the Bushes and Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh. In his recent pandemic memoir, What Just Happened: Notes on a Long Year, the author and critic Charles Finch recalled two things about his former classmate, known then as “D”: he did an uncanny impression of baseball star Jose Canseco and, according to a friend, would tell dates he liked Thai food, but pronounced it “thigh”. If they corrected him, Finch wrote, he would find an excuse to leave. “He didn’t want a girlfriend who corrected him.”

So what do we know about this guy? We know what his wife tells us. Why is that? Is he some sort of autocrat that has some dark secrets that need protection to the point that he avoids people to the point of earbuds and not having friends and if he does have friends, who are they?
We are certainly not impressed with his spokesperson or his Surgeon general, so how did he happen to collect so much money through Russian contacts? Who is Casey Black DeSantis? We know she was an anchor and had breast cancer which in the case of cancer was unfortunate but that is about all we know about her . They read like scripted people who want to be the republican Kennedys without the heart or empathy.
It is time journalists find out just who Ron and Casey DeSantis are. At least in the Bush debacle, we knew his wife had run over a guy and George had a drinking problem. We knew Trump was a blowhard and loser but people still voted for him. George, claimed to be a compassionate conservative, Ha….So much for that with the invasion of Iraq.
DeSantis has done a lot of bad things in the state of Florida but it hasn’t stopped people from voting for him. What’s with this guy? Who did he defend at Gitmo? What consequences has he faced for taking Covid money and transporting migrants from one state and not his and transporting them to another based on lies? Every day that passes, he goes just a bit further with his bullying and want a be dictating.
It is past time for some folks in the media to do some digging on Mystery Man DeSantis. To me, he is not a lot different from the liar Santos. The difference is, he is not out there lying about his life, but not letting the people know who he is personally. I am tired of people just voting alphabets and not even knowing who the person is except what they tell them and want them to know.
Journalist….Media people...where are you? This guy is wanting to go national. We better know who and what he really is and what skeletons are stacked in his closet. Were there never any past relationships? Why does he have such a problem with LGBTQ? How is he getting all his election donations without any charisma? What is his problem with questions, if he has nothing to hide? Why did he accept money from Russian criminals? Why is his spokeperson an agent of a foreign country? Does he have a laptop?
Does Trump know the real man and his wife? If he does why isn’t he spilling his guts?
We need to find out.
