Ron DeSantis Attacks Trump's Cult Of Personality, Calls Devotees 'Listless Vessels'
"If 2024 Republican presidential hopeful and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to woo Donald Trump’s base, he’s taking a strange approach.
DeSantis harped about the former president’s hold on the Republican Party during a sit-down interview with The Florida Standard, calling Trump followers “listless vessels” in a video published by the conservative outlet on Saturday.
“You could be the most conservative person since sliced bread. Unless you’re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO,” he said, challenging those who call conservative Trump critics “Republicans in name only.”
“A movement can’t be about the personality of one individual,” DeSantis went on. “The movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the American people and that’s got to be based in principle, because if you’re not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”"
