Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' former aides say he treated them 'like a disposable piece of garbage'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is a rising star in the Republican Party. But many of his former staffers told Politico they felt used and abused by the MAGA politician.

A group of former DeSantis staffers have formed a "support group" to regularly discuss their adverse experiences working for the governor, Playbook reported Friday. DeSantis reportedly has very few veteran advisers and largely relies on himself and his wife, Casey DeSantis, to guide his political strategy.

"Loyalty and trust, that is not a currency he deals in," one former adviser told Politico. "It's him and Casey. But everyone else is like a disposable piece of garbage."

After DeSantis faced widespread criticism for saying his Black competitor in the 2018 governor's race would "monkey up" the state, DeSantis and his wife reportedly blamed campaign staffers for the fallout. DeSantis fired five aides within the first few months of taking office as governor. And he reportedly had the leader of the Florida Republican Party fire a staffer in their first week back at work after having surgery for cancer.
