Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Joe Biden’s Thursday
speech was “one of the most disgusting speeches an American president
has ever given”
DeSantis made his comments on the Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News
Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” where he said that Biden is “trying to
energize his base to fend off a real butt-whipping this November” and
because that’s what his staff fed to him.
Breitbart reports:
DeSantis said, “I thought it was one of the most disgusting speeches an
American President has ever given. He ran as being a unifier and he’s
basically saying to the vast majority of the country that disapproves of
him that they’re effectively a threat to the republic. He dodders. He
lashes out. But, at the end of the day, his policies are why there’s so
much opposition to him. He came in and he opened the border and we’ve
seen what a disaster that’s been. He kneecapped American energy. We’ve
seen how that’s hurt millions and millions of people across our country.
They’ve inflated the currency. We have one of the worst inflations
we’ve had in over 40 years. So, of course, people are going to be upset
at all of the wreckage that he’s left in his wake. He is the American
Nero. He’s a failed leader and I think that he is doing this because
he’s trying to energize his base to fend off a real butt-whipping this
November.”
He added, “Look, it’s been said that the President of the United
States is whoever is feeding his teleprompter. And so, if they fed that
teleprompter in in Philadelphia last night, and he angrily delivered
that speech and lashed out at his fellow countrymen. Today, he was asked
off-the-cuff, and he said something totally opposite. But, I’d note,
Raymond, they’re tweeting from his account the same nasty stuff that he
said last night. And so, I think the people that are in control of the
White House want to drive this message that people that dissent from his
policies are somehow second-class citizens.”
DeSantis concluded that going into the elections, Republicans need to
“Hold Biden accountable. This is a referendum on his failures. Make
sure everybody knows how his policies have contributed to the mess we’re
in, and then articulate what you will do to address things like the
border, like crime, like inflation. I think if you do that, I think
Republicans are going to win both chambers and I think it’ll be a really
good day.”
