Ron DeSantis finally speaks up about leaked memo.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Denies Leaked Memo Strategy
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has dismissed a leaked memo that allegedly outlined his strategy for the upcoming Republican primary debate. The memo, which was posted on strategy firm Axiom’s website by DeSantis’ super PAC, Never Back Down, detailed his primary goals for the debate. Although it was quickly removed from the site, it still managed to make headlines.
DeSantis: “It’s Not Mine”
When asked about the memo, DeSantis told Fox News Digital, “Well, on the memo, it’s not mine. I haven’t read it.”
The memo read: ”1. Attack Joe Biden and the media 3-5 times. 2. State GRD’s positive vision 2-3 times. 3. Hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a response. 4. Defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack.” It also recommended that GRD, believed to stand for “Gov. Ron DeSantis,” be “likeable” and “show emotion.”
DeSantis further explained, “If you look really in the last six to nine months, I’ve been more attacked than anybody else. Biden, Harris, the media, the Left, other Republican candidates, and there’s a reason for that because people know that I’m the biggest threat. So we view it as positive feedback, we’ll be ready to do what we need to do to deliver our message.”
