Critics rip scathing Politico profile of Casey DeSantis as sexist, ‘shameful’

Critics bashed an online profile Friday of the wife of expected presidential contender and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the piece misogynistic and vicious.

The Politico article, “The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” quoted anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleged insiders and Democratic strategists who accused the first lady of Florida of being “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president.

Gov. DeSantis is expected to announce his bid for the presidency next week.

The story labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast-cancer survivor and mom of three “paranoid” and “vindictive” while quoting a male DeSantis supporter who said she needed to “take a more traditional role’’ and a Trump operative who called her similar to “Lady MacBeth.”

“If you’re a Democrat and a woman, you’re ‘fierce’ or an ‘unapologetic’ or whatever,” a senior DeSantis adviser raged to The Post. “If you’re a Republican or a conservative, you turn into a cartoon villainess.

“The double standard is shameful. And the people who do this are always the most outspoken feminists on Twitter.”

Here come the darts.  They are already going after DeSantis' wife. I guess in this political climate, it is to be expected.  I guess I was wrong in hoping for some civility this campaign year.

Now do Jill Biden, and don’t use anything serial liar LIEden has claimed.

Never will happen.

Never will happen.

I know, I was just pointing out MSM serial hypocrisy. The timing and circumstances of the start of LIEden’s and Jill’s relationship is quite different from what LIEden claims.

And of course the left never said boo about coattail hanger Hitlary or Big Mike Obama who also were 'co presidents' but they were called 'strong women'. Well one of them was....woman that is.

That's definitely a possibility.  This is why I didn't think DeSantis would run. I thought he wouldn't want to subject his family to the Trump & Company smear tactics.
