Sarasota GOP to honor Gov. Ron DeSantis as 'Statesman of the Year' at October dinner

[Zorro]

Gov. Ron DeSantis is speaking at a Sarasota GOP fundraising dinner in October where he will be honored with the party's "Statesman of the Year" award.

The statesman dinner is the local party's biggest annual event, and one that has drawn a slew of high-profile Republicans. Former President Donald Trump twice received the statesman award.

“Gov. DeSantis is the most effective and popular Governor in the United States among Republicans and we are thrilled to honor him with this award,” Jack Brill, acting chairman of the Republican Party of Sarasota County, said in a statement.

DeSantis is receiving the award on Oct. 15 at the Sarasota Hyatt Regency.

Sarasota Republicans are showing their in-your-face assholishness once again.

2. DeSatan will have murdered thousands more Floridians by then, many of them children.

10. Might want to hold off on that award

DeSantis is about to go through some things. Dude is standing in front of a moving train and too stupid/stubborn to get out the way.

I am glad that the Republican Party is all excited about DeSantis. It shows how depraved that they are.
