    Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.

      Being called out on hypocrisy has never stopped a conservative before. Hell, it’s practically required.

        This is the most confusing part of the situation.

        DeSatan is no voice of reason, so it’s a play for personal protection or gain… somehow. What do they know about Tate that’s so much worse than the average MAGA?

      So then why was he fine working and knowing Matt Gaetz committed statutory rape and paid for those women to cross state lines. He should have been actively campaigning for him not to be a Florida Congress member.

        Technically, even though it was child rape, the child was post-pubescent and willing. DeSantis and Gaetz apparently only care about trafficking when it involves shipping brown people into the country as slaves (supposedly).

        Just one more time for the record, Trump’s first choice as a cabinet pick Matt Gaetz Raped a Child.

          They never brought charges, just stopped the investigation. My guess was the play is simple there, if he didn’t do exactly what Trump wanted, the DOJ could bring charges and put him in prison for years and end his career. Thankfully some people saw through it, yet not enough to pressure for the charges to be taken up and followed through on.

      there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy.

      But that doesn’t matter anymore. What’s the real reason?
