DeSantis campaign fires staff member for including Nazi symbol in video.
Staffer Fired for Embedding Nazi Symbol in Video of Gov. Ron DeSantis
A shocking incident has unfolded within the DeSantis administration as a staffer was recently dismissed for embedding a Nazi symbol into a video featuring Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). The video, which was shared through a pro-DeSantis Twitter account, caused an uproar and led to the termination of the employee.
Nate Hochman, a speechwriter who worked with the DeSantis campaign, was among the 38 employees laid off. Just days before his dismissal, Hochman created and shared the controversial video of the governor in front of a Sonnenrad. While it is unclear if the video was the sole reason for his termination, it certainly played a significant role.

A campaign official from the DeSantis team confirmed Hochman’s departure, stating, “Nate Hochman is no longer with the campaign. We will not be commenting on him further.”
According to Axios, Hochman allegedly produced the video independently on a Twitter account that supported Governor DeSantis. He then retweeted it before it was eventually deleted.
In an effort to streamline operations ahead of the primaries, DeSantis made the decision to lay off approximately one-third of his campaign staff on Tuesday.
“Following a top-to-bottom review of our organization, we have taken additional, aggressive steps to streamline operations and put Ron DeSantis in the strongest position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden,” stated campaign manager Generra Peck. “Governor DeSantis is going to lead the Great American Comeback, and we’re ready to hit the ground running as we head into an important month of the campaign.”
