DeSantis Tells Allies to Stay Mum About Trump’s ‘Nazi’ Dinner. It’s Part of a Bigger Plan

DeSantis’s decision to stay quiet comes at a time when some of Trump’s other potential 2024 challengers — including Trump’s former VP Mike Pence and onetime secretary of state, Mike Pompeo — have taken swipes at Trump over the dinner with Kanye, who’s deep in the anti-Semitism-spewing phase of his career.

@UROCKlive1 The bigger plan is "winning the antisemite/white nationalist vote away from Trump," but I guess we're supposed to be impressed they're not saying that out loud.

Is anyone else old enough to remember when Republicans tried really hard to pretend to not be Nazis?

@UROCKlive1 I’m confused by this paragraph - did they forget a word or am I just not reading it correctly?
“According to three people with knowledge of the directives, DeSantis’ lieutenants have told his allies not to attack Trump over the now-notorious dinner. Instead, the potential 2024 Republican primary candidate and his advisers have aimed to keep the focus on Trump’s decision to dine with Kanye West, a vocal anti-Semite, and Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist agitator.”

@UROCKlive1 It is because DeSantis wants those Nazi votes, so he is going to be be careful with his attacks. Hungary's Orban is his model after all.

@UROCKlive1 The article demonstrates the biggest danger of DeSantis. He’s everything disgusting and reprehensible that Trump is politically and culturally…with brains. If we though Trump damaged the nation, imagine what Trump with brains could do, and tremble in fear with me.
