‘God Made A Fighter’: Dramatic DeSantis Ad Goes Viral, Triggers Liberal Meltdown

A new digital ad released by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R) campaign ahead of the week’s election has gone viral, racking up millions of views on Twitter alone.

The entire ad is in black and white and is based on famed newscaster Paul Harvey, who died in 2009, and his famous “So God Made a Farmer” speech at the Future Farmers of America in Kansas City, Missouri, back in 1978.

“And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a protector,’” the ad states. “So God made a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people, to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness. So God made a fighter.”

“God said, ‘I need someone to be strong, advocate truth in the midst of hysteria, someone who challenges conventional wisdom and isn’t afraid to defend what he knows to be right and just. So God made a fighter,’” the ad continued. “God said, ‘I need somebody who will take the arrows, stand firm in the wake of unrelenting attacks, look a mother in the eyes and tell her that her child will be in school.’ She can keep her job, go to church, eat dinner with friends, and hold the hand of an aging parent taking their breath for the last time. So God made a fighter. God said I need a family man. A man who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his daughter says she wants to spend her life doing what dad does. So God made a fighter.”

The ad triggered an intense backlash online from leftists, with many of the responses featuring such explicit profanity that the responses could not be included in a news article.

NARRATOR: And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a protector’. So God made a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people, to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness. So God made a fighter. God said, ‘I need someone to be strong, advocate truth in the midst of hysteria, someone who challenges conventional wisdom and isn’t afraid to defend what he knows to be right and just.’ So God made a fighter. God said, ‘I need somebody who will take the arrows, stand firm in the wake of unrelenting attacks, look a mother in the eyes and tell her that her child will be in school.’ She can keep her job, go to church, eat dinner with friends, and hold the hand of an aging parent taking their breath for the last time. So God made a fighter. God said I need a family man. A man who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his daughter says she wants to spend her life doing what dad does. So God made a fighter.
