And on Cue, the Media Smears Launch Against DeSantis › American Greatness

Plenty of people have their concerns about Donald Trump’s electability given his scary high negatives among voters—and aside from legitimate election integrity concerns. And while Trump presents a target-rich environment for the unscrupulous Democratic media establishment, the reality has always been that any Republican will face similar treatment.
As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched his presidential bid this week, the media hit jobs also launched in earnest. The observable reality is that the amount of attacks on DeSantis dwarf the rest of the field combined—minus, of course, Trump. If measured by malignity, there are only two Republicans the Left establishment does not want. And possibly one considerably more than the other.
The most egregious DeSantis attack so far was the Politico smear job on, of all people, his wife, Casey DeSantis. She is an accomplished TV news reporter and anchor, mother of three young children, effective promoter of serious needs in Florida and a recent breast cancer survivor. Should be a home-run heroine.
Enter the Politico hack machine. In an article entitled “The Casey DeSantis Problem: His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” the propagandists quoted anonymous former and current DeSantis staffers and Democratic strategists who claim to have dirt on the couple and who describe Casey as a “blindly ambitious” person who is paranoid and “sees ghosts in every corner.” The article describes her as “Lady Macbeth,” the Shakespearean character who conspires to have her husband kill the king so he can be king and she can be queen. The story was misogynistic, sexist stereotyping that would never—never—be done on Jill Biden or Michelle Obama, whose fawning treatment by the media is just nauseating.
