Harris’s ‘gaslighting’ campaign shows she’s not fit to be president: DeSantis – Washington Examiner

In a recent criticism, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis accused Vice President Kamala‌ Harris of utilizing financial support to shape her public⁤ image as ⁤she campaigns for the presidency. He described her ⁢media strategy as a ‘gaslighting’ campaign,‍ suggesting that she​ is attempting to ⁢portray ⁣herself in a misleading way ​to gain⁣ voter trust. DeSantis remarked that Harris’s campaign is heavily funded ‍and supported by the media, which he believes could potentially⁤ lead ‍her to raise significant ⁣campaign ⁤funds for ads ⁢that misrepresent her capabilities. He emphasized her liberal ‍stance, labeling ‍her as unsuitable for the presidency, particularly pointing⁤ out that she was the most liberal senator ‌during her time in the U.S. Senate. DeSantis’s comments came ‌in ⁣the context of his‍ own previous presidential campaign, from which he ‌has since dropped⁢ out, ‌endorsing Donald Trump ‍and others along party‌ lines. He also highlighted a lack⁢ of communication from Harris regarding assistance for damages⁢ from natural‍ disasters in Florida, further questioning her leadership abilities.


Harris’s ‘gaslighting’ campaign shows she’s not fit to be president: DeSantis

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) credited Vice President Kamala Harris‘s funds for helping her control the media narrative about her as she campaigned for president.

Harris is three days away from the election after hitting the campaign trail for less than four months. President Joe Biden had been running for reelection until July, when he announced he would end his campaign.

The announcement came after all state primary elections were finished. He immediately endorsed Harris, as she is the sole candidate who could legally still use the funds Biden had fundraised. DeSantis said on Life Liberty and Levin on Saturday that it was as if the Democratic Party “air dropped her.”

“But I cautioned people that that media would give her hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fawning press she would probably raise a billion dollars in run ads to try to gaslight people into trying to convince them she’s something that she is not,” DeSantis said. “I think people have seen through this. I think they realize that one, she’s way too liberal to be president of the United States. I mean, she was the most liberal senator when she was in the U.S. Senate.”

“But you also have the other issue of could this be somebody that could be a leader that could be commander in chief that you would have confidence in? The answer to that is no,” DeSantis went on.

DeSantis himself was in the running for the presidential office against the now-Republican nominee Donald Trump. After he dropped out of the race, DeSantis endorsed Trump, along with every other Republican candidate aside from former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson. Both Pence and Christie refused to endorse either candidate, while Hutchinson endorsed Haley ahead of her departure from the race.

Florida is in the middle of hurricane season with two storms making landfall so far. DeSantis claimed that Harris had not called him once in regard to the damage caused and what federal aid will be needed until she and Biden came under scrutiny for their response to Hurricane Helene.

“I have dealt with storms in this administration. She has never once called. She’s never offered support. She’s never come to Florida to help people. It was only because she was taking heat because of the Helene response that when Milton was brewing, she tried to inject yourself in,” DeSantis said. “But what that showed me is, yes, I disagree with her on the issues, just as you do, but this is just not somebody that could be commander in chief.”

Harris has notably not visited the state while on the campaign trail. When there were two weeks left until the election, Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison started a bus tour on Florida’s second day of early voting.

The state elected Trump in 2020 and 2016, but Harrison said the Democratic Party is after the black vote in Florida.
