It’s got to be extremely frustrating for the mainstream media and their Democrat allies in government that no matter how many attacks they launch on Gov. Ron DeSantis, he’s able to brush them off his shoulder like an irrelevant speck of dust and then keeps on keepin’ on with his agenda for the state of Florida.
In particular, his opponents in the upcoming gubernatorial race have really demonstrated a propensity to go off the deep end in a big way when it comes to DeSantis, perhaps because they figure if they’re going to go down with the sinking Democrat ship in the Sunshine State that they might as well try to do it in style.
All of this brings me to Democrat Nikki Fried, who is Florida’s agriculture commissioner. Like many of DeSantis’s critics, Fried often goes off half-cocked and assumes facts not in evidence, likely because she understands few in the Florida press and the unhinged cable news network anchors who interview her care to fact check her since they’re on the same side. When Fried is wrongly accused by some media outlets for her wild claims, she doesn’t back down.
And “crazy” is just how it got on Fried’s Twitter feed last night, as she took to using crude terminology to describe the popular governor:
Ron DeSantis has done everything possible to be a dictator. He’s already half of that word there.

For reasons that are only hers, she followed it up with this strange Photoshop:

I mean, we’re talking real quality of content here, particularly if a candidate whose main support line of woke Twitter leftists is your cup of tea. Unfortunately for Fried, being a “Qween” for hardcore Twitter leftists is unlikely to translate into success at the ballot box:

There’s no doubt that the desperation for attention here on Fried’s part is real, especially considering that the Democrat Governor’s Association made clear back in November they think Florida pretty much a lost cause to them, so much so that they are “limiting” how much help they’ll give Democrats in the state, including whoever wins the gubernatorial nomination:
As Florida Democrats seek to challenge Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Democratic Governors Association is not planning to provide significant financial support. Ron DeSantis will be in office 2022. This is a significant setback for any challengers who want to face the populist Republican.
Two Florida Democratic consultants, who were in touch with the DGA over two cycles of gubernatorial elections, stated that the DGA has begun to reduce its spending in Florida and will likely have a smaller presence during the midterms.
Fried is disappointed that no help is on its way. Fortunately for us, Fried and DeSantis’s other detractors will continue pouring on the cray cray as the rage grows hotter, which will provide for more comedy gold-type hot takes like the ones involving man parts and potatoes.
