Ron DeSantis\u2019s (R) office on Friday forcefully denied the establishment media\u2019s rumors of infighting between the Florida governor and former President Donald Trump, deeming them \u201cbaseless stories\u201d that are \u201cmerely attempts by corporate media activists to distract from Biden administration failures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the past week, establishment media outlets spread rumors of infighting between the two Republicans \u2014 two of the most popular Republicans in the country. Axios, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/16\/report-trump-bash-ron-desantis-private-dull-personality\/\">citing<\/a> an anonymous source, reported that Trump had been privately bashing DeSantis, and the <em>New York Times<\/em> acted similarly, releasing a piece titled \u201cWho Is King of Florida? Tensions Rise Between Trump and a Former Acolyte.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>The chatter, however, is just that, DeSantis\u2019s office confirmed to Breitbart News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the governor said when asked about the rumors last week, \u2018This is what the media does.\u2019 And, as President Trump mentioned last night on <em>Hannity<\/em>, Gov. DeSantis has always said that media narratives cannot get in the way of their friendship,\u201d DeSantis\u2019s press secretary, Christina Pushaw, told Breitbart News Friday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these anonymously sourced and baseless stories were merely attempts by corporate media activists to distract from Biden administration failures,\u201d she continued. Notably, the rumors of this quarrel come one year into Biden\u2019s presidency, as voters see he has failed on a range of issues, including the coronavirus, as he is still urging Americans to wear masks despite pledging \u201cjust\u201d 100 days of masking. As a result of that and many more issues, his approval rating is completely underwater and has been so for quite a while.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_19287850\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AP21356628269211.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19287850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AP21356628269211.png\" alt=\"President Joe Biden attends a meeting with his task force on supply chain issues, Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021, in the South Court Auditorium on the White House campus in Washington.
