Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis responded on Wednesday to smears that former President Donald Trump promoted on social media this week saying he spends his time fighting for his constituents and not trying to smear other Republicans.
DeSantis’ remarks come after Trump promoted baseless claims that accused DeSantis of grooming underage girls with alcohol.
“I face defamatory stuff every single day I’ve been governor, that’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said. “I’d also just say this. I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden.”
“That’s how I spend my time,” DeSantis continued as the audience erupted in cheers. “I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”
Trump’s latest attack against the Florida governor, who recently won re-election in Florida with a historic 19.4-point blowout, comes after Trump claimed last week that DeSantis “begged” him for an endorsement in 2018 and that “there were tears coming down from his eyes.”
