state, where Trump wonRoger Stone, a longtime Trump ally, threatened to run to unseat Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida if DeSantis does not conduct an audit of the 2020 election in the state.
"I heard governor Ron DeSantis say that Florida had the most honest election in our history in 2020, yet I know for a certainty there are one million phantom voters on the Florida voter rolls. These 'voters' simply do not exist," Stone wrote on his Telegram channel to some 20,000 subscribers on Sunday.
"If Gov. Ron DeSantis does not order a full audit of the Florida 2020 vote, I may be forced to seek the Libertarian Party nomination for governor in 2022. And Ron can kiss his arrogant Yalie ass goodbye #DefendFlorida," Stone added.
Stone also said on the social-media platform Gab on Sunday that he "may be forced to seek the Libertarian party nomination" if DeSantis doesn't look into his claims of voter fraud, appending the hashtag #ByeRon.

(4,461 posts)win. Hes threatening to run as a libertarian, which will pull votes away from DeSantis and allow the Dem to win. This is nothing more than a threat to unseat DeSantis because he has not pushed for an audit. Тяцмp wants an audit in as many states as possible to support the lie and voting reform.

of the hardest core of the deplorables. If the right wing on.line media took up his cause, I think its possible he could pull enough affect the GE. If Crist runs, it will be a close race.
But regardless, I think thats the threat they are making. Assuming, of course, that it not just a performance piece (which is certainly likely as well).

(50,559 posts)Stone and DeSantis will split the RW vote, leaving whoever runs on the Democratic ticket to win by plurality. Its going to take more than four years to fix everything DeSantis broke, but you have to start somewhere.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,370 posts)He has name recognition, and he was governor before ('07 to 2011)
Even though he has switched parties and is now Democratic, he is no Ron DeathSentence, a man surely needing to be placed in the dustbin of history.
Stone is a fucking joke. I don't think even the dipshit old folks in "The Villages" would want to vote for the fucking Penguin.

He's been a dirty trickster for people who could actually win elections for a reason.
