Ron DeSantis on Nixing Deep State: ‘We Are Going to Start Slitting Throats on Day One’

Hannah Bleau 3 Aug 2023

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used a surprising choice of words over the weekend when describing his plans to tackle the Deep State, promising to “start slitting throats” on day one.

DeSantis campaigned in New Hampshire over the weekend, attending campaign events hosted by former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA).

“We’re going to have all of these Deep State people, you know. We are going to start slitting throats on day one,” DeSantis said during the barbecue event. DeSantis also promised that his administration will ensure the woke agenda “ends up in the dustbin of history.”

New Hampshire Public Radio quoted one New Hampshire Republican voter who was not thrilled by the governor’s choice of words.

“If I was in charge of his PR, I would have said, ‘Don’t use that terminology,’” he remarked. Others on social media expressed similar sentiments.

“He is so bad at this,” one user remarked.

“I guess he’s going for the Charles Manson fan base vote…..” another said.

“Great, another one that hires ‘the best’ people to advise him,” one observed, as others joked that there will not be a “day one” of his presidency anyway:

Interesting choice of words...he sounds like a lunatic...

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Yikes! No Ron, no.

[bigheadfred]

Let's go DeSatanist!

[LMAO]

Dumb choice of words

[Free Vulcan]

Resonates with me.

Resonates with me.

Are you channeling your inner Chucky?

He does. Smart people can be so dumb.

I'm more of a Freddy Krueger guy myself.

Heads on the chopping block is similar corporate parlance.

Me too.   The knives are our for Ron.  He has every liberal paper out for his ass.

No...he's speaking a language the Libtards in DC understand.  That's throwing down the gauntlet.

When I read the headline I was like HELL YES!

I would have gotten the point across without wanting to slice their throats...but I see that is just me...and btw I am for Ron..

While I knew it was just a turn of phrase, and not an actual threat to slit throats (who would want the biohazard hazmat mess that would make?), It did make me smile...

There's a lot of pearl-clutching in reaction to his comment. Inartfully stated, perhaps, but "killing" the deep state is long overdue.

I'm with you on this one @mystery-ak   What he said (if indeed it is what he said) was unlike him and absolutely unnecessary. He could have gotten his point across in a different way.

[Lando Lincoln]

After the likes of Daniel Pearl, this comment resonates with me in a bad way. I, too, am for Ron at this moment (long way to go).

I agree ‘bele.

[catfish1957]

A few years ago, I'd been a tad shocked, but the left and deep state for that matter is slitting ours as we speak.

Agree with RDS, but like many others have opined, these words will be used against him by the sleazy media.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Don't like this either.  The sentiment and tone is most likely to appeal to those who are hardcore Trump supporters, and they're not voting for DeSantis anyway.  The votes he should be aiming for are of those folks who don't like Trump's tone and lack of verbal discipline.

I mean, there are those of us out here who realizes that loud talking and braggadocio doesn't actually accomplish anything.  We want someone more focused on playing a good game rather than just talking one.

No I get that and I understand.  It's juts nice to occasionally not here a politician engage in politi-speak...especially where the Dems are concerned.

Slitting throats?  Not exactly what I look for in a President.  More what I expect from a serial killer.



 

Now, is DeSantis willing to pinkie promise that the streets of DC will run red with the blood of Deep State on day one?

Why not Jason Voorhees  for President?

100% true.  That being said, I support the guy and it doesn't change my mind.  My concern is that he's going to need to get some traction at some point, and things like this don't help.

I do like his idea of debating Newsome.
