“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair, I just, I can’t speak to that," he said. "That's an example of pursuing a political agenda."

5. NBC, I totally don't get the complex legalities, and have no way of figuring it all out, so.....

If you would let me get away with some garble garble, that would be keen?!

NBC: Moving on, Sir!, to….

……..

It’s a well worn corporate media script when they get a fascist on for some…questioning??..I guess thats what they still call this?!

6. Lol talk about trying to have your cake and eat it

So DeSantis goes all in on the antisemitic "Soros" bullshit:

"I have no interest in getting involved in some manufactured circus by some Soros-DA. He’s trying to do a political spectacle. He’s trying to virtue signal for his base. I’ve got real issues I got to deal with here in the state of Florida. I don't know what's going to happen but I do know this: the Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor."

While simultaneously rehashing the actual facts of the case:

"I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair, I just, I can’t speak to that."

So the potential prosecution of Trump for PAYING HUSH MONEY TO A PORN STAR TO SECURE SILENCE OVER SOME TYPE OF ALLEGED AFFAIR, is also an UNFAIR POLITICAL WITCH HUNT RUN BY A SOROS-FUNDED VIRTUE-SIGNALING PARTISAN LOON.

And to think, it took them all weekend to come up with that...

[emulatorloo]

7. Well Ron would know, he's the king of virtue signaling to his crazy base.

Which includes the Soros Sorus Soros antisemitic bullshit.

[mopinko]

9. they keep saying soros funds the prosecutor.

every accusation is a confession.

[The Magistrate]

19. Just Once, Ma'am

I would like to see an interviewer follow up a 'Soros puppet' answer with questions on these lines:

What evidence do you have?

Have you communications between Mr. Soros and the DA directing the latter to perform some action?

Have you evidence of funds directed to the DA's personal use by Mr. Soros?

In fact, are you doing any thing but pronouncing 'demon words' to summon the specter of the 'hidden hand of the Jew' in order to rile up your basest voters?

Put bluntly, Sir, unless you answer the first three in the affirmative and produce the evidence, shouldn't people just assume you are nothing but a Jew-hating bigot?

America wants answers, Sir!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. I don't know. I'm still waiting for my George Soros check.

Anyone gotten theirs?

[Richard D]

28. I'm still waiting for my . . .

Jewish Space Laser!

[ancianita]

10. Thanks! LOL indeed.

[pamela]

13. Would love to have witnessed that weekend session

“Should I defend Porn Star fucking or just say ‘Soros, Soros, Soros…?’”

[Thomas Hurt]

8. Straight from the horse's mouth, Ron is just too pure to know anything....

about political agendas or porn stars or pay offs. LOL>

[yaesu]

11. Idc what the little dictator has to say. nt

[Harker]

30. Hm. He does have 'little dictator energy.' n/t

[applegrove]

12. Vague enough people will either think he is slamming Trump or

fall for the Soros as a scapegoat. If you are already afraid of Soros you'll take that out of it. If Soros does not ring a 5 alarm fire in your head then Trump had an affair is what you remember and DeSantis is above it. If you love Trump the affair was only alleged. Trump is surrounded the allegations by soros and slurs on the prosecutor. He couched in it, on both sides. Dyslexics see things off to the side and they make up 20% of the population. Other people see what is dead center. Maybe dyslexic Trump has dyslexic followers and DeSantis is using what and how people notice things to his (DeSantis') advantage to appeal to all sides with this statement.

[Orrex]

14. Gotta hand it to the fascist

I n two brief sentences he attacked both Trump for his crimes and those who would hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

It sounds gibberishish on the first pass, but let's not make the mistake of pretending that he didn't know exactly what he was saying, and why.

[Escurumbele]

15. Do they know Soros passed away? I thought Bill Gates was going to be the next target, but they

are still after Soros...

[pamela]

16. Soros isn't dead.

Not that that would stop them from propping him up like some “weekend at Bernie’s” boogeyman.

[Oneironaut]

29. When he does actually die, they're going to claim it's a conspiracy, and, he's still alive. Lol

[ZonkerHarris]

17. George Soros is alive. He's 92.

[pfitz59]

18. Wiki says Soros is alive

not that it matters to Trump humpers.

[LiberalFighter]

20. Keep attacking each other.

[republianmushroom]

22. Old Ron doesn't want to upset the base.

[barbtries]

24. oh yeah,

trump was definitely pursuing a political agenda when he broke the law to keep people ignorant of what a total piece of shit he is.

[twodogsbarking]

25. I think Trump was a Democrat when he was humping Stormy.

[iluvtennis]

26. Neither DeSatan nor Fly in the Hair Pence have any backbone to speak truth to power. n/t

[Kath2]

27. Total BS.

Exactly what we would expect.

[Midnight Writer]

31. "Misdemeanor" is the Republican Word Of The Day.

Watched a bit of news this morning on multiple channels and I heard the word "misdemeanor" used about a dozen times.

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Remember Al Capone

and all the horrific things he did???????? They finally nailed him on a trivial charge of tax evasion............
It served as reason enough to remove him from society. They kept him in a jail cell until the very end of his putrid life. His mind had been eaten by tertiary syphillis and he couldn't do anything but drool, so they sent him home..........

I realize that everyone would like to see Trump hanged in public for what he has done, but if they get him on something like bribing a porn star, and it imprisons his sorry fat ass, that is all that matters............

33. Locking after review by the forum hosts

Republican commentary is very rarely important news. Good to repost in General Discussion if you’d like, though.
