Pro-Trump PAC launches attack ads targeting DeSantis’ record on Medicare, Social SecurityA pro-Trump super PAC is rolling out a new ad targeting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' record supporting cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Ron could easily make this go away by announcing that he is NOT running. But he won't, he'll just continue to break Florida law by running for another office while still governor. DGMW, I like DeSantis but he's pissing a lot of people off...maybe permanently. Skippy RINO boy is more Bush. 🤬
