Wow.\u201d<strong>Travis Wester<\/strong>, political commentator: \u201cReferring to being there for your spouse during her cancer treatment as \u2018giving up\u2019 is the kind of cheap shot that makes the vote a referendum on you, not your opponent. Good luck Nikki.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fried was not the only one to face backlash for making remarks aimed at DeSantis\u2019 whereabouts.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
