"You are the company you keep"
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/418618-anti-ron-desantis-group-launches-video-of-matt-gaetz-bromance-with-ron-desantis/
Democrats' Ron Be Gone seeks to portray DeSantis, Gaetz as pals.
There are enough images of Gov. Ron DeSantis palling with Rep. Matt Gaetz to show a close friendship, so a group of Democrats opposing the Governors reelection pooled them to ask, what happened to their friendship now that Gaetz appears to be in trouble?
If Ron DeSantis will turn a blind eye to Matt Gaetz, makes you wonder what else hes covering up, snarks Ron Be Gone, in a new anti-DeSantis campaign video promoted on social media Thursday.
The video rolls out more than a minute of those images of Gaetz and DeSantis together in professional, social, and media-appearance settings, building the impression of a bromance between the two at least until recently.
Gaetz is the Republican Panhandle Congressman struggling to deal with growing reports that hes a central figure in a sex trafficking investigation that already has another old friend of his, former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, reportedly arranging a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
DeSantis was close enough to Gaetz while they served together in Congress that DeSantis had Gaetz serve as one of the co-chairs of the newly elected Governors transition team in 2018 and 2019.

He can trade a little jail time for dirt on DeSantis. Fingers crossed!

(39,324 posts)8. Apparently Greenberg has been cooperating for months
So let's hope he squawked something about DeathSantis
