Ron DeSantis responds to wife being called ‘America’s Karen’: She 'threatens the left'
Florida governor, GOP presidential candidate says his wife Casey wears the criticism from MSNBC as a 'badge of honor'
By Kristen Altus FOXBusiness


After a liberal media panel mocked Florida’s first lady Casey DeSantis as "America’s Karen," her husband and GOP presidential candidate defended their values and platform against leftist attacks.

"My wife is an incredibly strong first lady of Florida, a fantastic mother and a great wife, and that threatens the left," Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on "Varney & Co." Monday.

"So she and I kind of shrug it off because we know it just shows they view her as a threat, because the message that she was bringing in Iowa about the rights of parents and how we are not going to take this anymore with the left trying to indoctrinate our kids, they understand that that resonates not just with Republican parents, with independent parents and, yes, with Democrat parents," he added.

On MSNBC’s "Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart" this past weekend, a political panel mocked and name-called Florida’s first lady when discussing DeSantis’ campaigning strategy, particularly after Casey’s recently announced Mamas for DeSantis initiative.

"Casey DeSantis is a fairly compelling political figure in Florida, and now nationally. For many, she's the brighter side to Florida's angry governor. For others, she's become America's Karen. And I think that's the ultimate disconnect here with a campaign that needs to embrace more constituencies to get to the White House," MSNBC analyst David Jolly said Saturday.

The MSNBC slurpers love Big Mike Obama and elder abuser Jill Biden, but they'll mock Mrs. DeSantis (and, no doubt, Mrs. Trump). Go figure.

This shouldn't be a surprise.  Besides, Fox will come to Casey's rescue, so no worries.

I don't care about that. I don't watch FOX. Considering how disgusting the media have been to Mrs. Trump, I think we all should be offended by the rudeness exhibited toward Mrs. DeSantis. That is, if we have a speck of human decency.

[DefiantMassRINO]

Who is Karen?

Lamestream Liberal Media is afraid Casey DeSantis will successfully execute the Glenn Youngkin Strategy to the benefit of her husband's campaign.

[libertybele]

DeSantis threatens the left and to attack his wife is not surprising.

If I recall Trump was threatened by Cruz and smeared his wife. The ugliness now continues.

I certainly see and understand your point.  But, when you jump into a pivotal position in the campaign, the rules change and so do media shields.

We may not like it, but that's politics.

The title is a little bit misleading

This is what was said from the article…

So MSNBC didn’t say she was a Karen. They simply said that there are people out there who have that opinion of her. Which is true

Wives that got involved with their husband’s campaigns always been fair game. Was Hillary Clinton back in 1992? Or how about Big Mike Obama?

The untouchables have been underage children. The left broke that with Sarah Palin’s Downs Syndrome baby

@libertybele

Cruz has a wife,other than the dude he shares the condo with?

[sneakypete]

I know nothing about his wife other than what I see and hear on the media,but she sure seems like an asset to me.

Which must be why the left hates and fears her.

@LMAO

Has there ever been a political wife that DIDN'T involve herself in her husband's campaign in the 20th Century?

I'd be shocked if she hadn't,and am more than a little surprised that someone is trying to make a big deal about it.

[Free Vulcan]

Which is why the media wants Trump to be the nominee.

@Free Vulcan

Yeah,that must be why the media is always saying such nice things about him,huh?

[mountaineer]

If they hate Trump so much and don't want him to be the GOP nominee, why do the media attack his opponents - especially DeSantis and Scott - as much as they do?

You are good at remembering all your talking points @sneakypete   - do you have any proof??

Proof? Proof is for losers seems to be the attitude of those with nothing but feces to sling...oh unless of course you bring up something about their lord on high.

@libertybele

I saw a photo of the condo he and the other dude share,right here on TBR. IIRC,the thread also had a photo of Cruz and his bestie in the condo.

No,I am NOT going to look it up for you. If it interests you that much,look  it up  yourself. I don't work for you.

Nope, I have no interest in trying to find a  bogus picture.  What a waste of time.

Makes an unsubstantiated claim and tells others to verify it for him

You made the claim. The burden is on you to prove it

I don't give a damn if some ignorant fool believes it or not. If it interests you all that much,look it up. The photo and the explanation were posted right here on TBR.

You’re the only one here who’s consistently made the claim of Cruz being gay. Then you feign disinterest in your claim

Really bizarre.

No,I just don't give a damn  what you think,and I don't work for you. This means I am not going to waste MY time proving to you what I know to be true. If you ain't happy about this,Bubba,look it up for yourself.

Do you do that in your daily life? Spread rumors about people regardless if you know they’re true or not and then demand others to prove you wrong?
