DeSantis ends 2024 campaign with discredited Churchill quote

Governor⁤ Ron ⁣DeSantis Ends Presidential Campaign with a Controversial Quote

In a campaign filled with missteps ​and blunders, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida made one final mistake as he suspended‌ his run for ⁤president. In ⁤a‍ video posted on‍ X,⁤ formerly​ known as Twitter, DeSantis used a quote attributed to the legendary British prime minister, Winston Churchill, despite‍ it being debunked by the International Churchill ​Society.

“Winston Churchill ‍once remarked⁢ —‍ Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is⁣ the courage to continue that counts,” DeSantis said in his announcement.

This⁣ quote, often seen on motivational posters and coffee mugs, has been widely shared on social media and the internet. However, the‍ International Churchill Society has confirmed that it is indeed fake. After thoroughly researching ​over 50 million words written ⁤by and about Churchill, including his books, articles, speeches, and papers, ⁣the group found no evidence of this quote.

Upon closer examination, it ​seems‍ that the quote⁢ used by DeSantis is a combination of ‍two separate quotes by Churchill. He did say, “No one can guarantee success in war, but only deserve it,” and “Success always‌ demands a greater effort.”

DeSantis concluded⁣ his announcement with a heartfelt message, saying, “Thank you, and God bless.”
