Ron DeSantis is doubling down after calling Donald Trump and some of his supporters “listless vessels” in a weekend interview that enraged Trumpworld and drew criticism from the ex-president’s allies who accused him of insulting GOP voters.
The DeSantis campaign responded again on Monday after a pile-on began over the weekend in response to his interview with the Florida Standard, a right-wing news site, on Saturday. In that interview, he warned that the Republican Party as a whole cannot be made up of “listless vessels” who take direction from Truth Social, a clear nod to the perceived loyalty of Mr Trump’s supporters.
