Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey, who has taken an active role in her husband’s campaign, appeared to urge supporters who don’t live in Iowa to travel there and try to vote in the caucus anyway, saying on Fox News, “We’re asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come from wherever it might be — North Carolina, South Carolina — and descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus. So moms and grandmoms are going to be able to come and be a part and let their voice be heard in support of Ron DeSantis.”
According to Florida Politics, she swiftly walked this statement back, clarifying that, “they cannot vote in the caucus process, but they can come and volunteer and they can be a part of it in that way.” And the Iowa Republican Party, while not mentioning Casey DeSantis by name, put out a statement on X clarifying, “Remember: you must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring photo ID with you to participate in the #iacaucus!”
The whole thing quickly became a subject of scorn and mockery on social media.
“.@CaseyDeSantis went on Fox News today and called on people to be BUSSED INTO IOWA from other states to participate in the Iowa caucus. THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND CHEATING,” posted far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer. “@RonDeSantis is basically a Democrat. This is what Democrats do. They bus people in. #Trump2024”
Even when it’s literally a Republican doing it in their own example it’s still somehow Democrats…
At least they’re taking aim at each other too 🤷
Is that tim pool?
Can’t be This guy looks almost sane.
Nah, just a random model. I see the resemblance though, now that you mention it 😆
Why would anyone listen to Laura Loomer after the “slashed” tire incident?
Didn’t even have to bring up whatever incident that was, even. I’m pretty sure she hasn’t ever had any credibility 🤷
Then again, sometimes awful people accidentally do or say the right thing while trying to further their own selfish ends…
whatever incident that was
You should look it up, it’s hilarious and the kind of thing that would make anyone with even a modicum of shame disappear from public view forever.

Nice lol, gonna check it out 😁
Edit: reading the Mediaite coverage IS a hoot, with gems such as
disclaimer: there is no indication Mike has any idea what he’s talking about, but he seems to have a Good Will Hunting-esque command of tire-facts
And
I’m not going to defend people I disagree w/ when they won’t defend me and my tire
😂
Remember the Republican rallying cry folks “ThEy ARe BUSING VOteRs tO RiG thE ELeCtiON!!!”
Every accusation is a confession
It’s sad that our moms and grandmoms or whatever would vote away our future. Wtf. But that is their base, apparently.
It has to be the lead they were exposed to.
The violent crime may have dropped, but maybe that was just enough lead exposure to drive it even beyond this. So instead of these people being in jail, they are just systemically destroying civilization
I honestly just think it’s the internet.
And not in the way boomers like to think but because it gave them access to the world in real time and their brains couldn’t handle reality so they chose to ignore it.
Like they were happy because they were all living in their own little bubbles and then the internet came and popped all those bubbles and now we have cognitive dissonance on a global scale
IDK, voting for Regan in 1980 was before the internet was widely available to the public to and it’s one move that’s blamed for a lot of the decay for the last 40 years.
Moms in North Carolina want you to shut the fuck up casey.
So he actually allows her to speak?
Not after this.
He’s gonna Thai her mouth shut!
He’s gonna jam his pudding scoopers in there
Digg’em
Fembot DeSantis is malfunctioning.
It’s funny because she literally is DeSantis’s Stepford Wife:
John Oliver’s take on this story:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/john-oliver-roasts-ron-desantis-bizarre-dating-tactic
Did they modify that picture or is she using the dated “OK” hand signal to signify she’s a POS
I’m gonna be relieved when hand signals move back to just being sign language instead of dog-whistles.
So Desantis is busing in voters. Lol.
One thing Iowans don’t like is non-Iowans participating in their caucus. This has its own penalty. He’s going to lose votes.
When the people running are so stupid they don’t know the rules you call them Republicans.
So until this all came up, I had no idea what the woman looked like. Holy shit, she’s like a young Avasarala! (Minus the backbone.)
Is anyone else happy that they may split the vote like the geniuses they are?
Tell me how that could happen so I can read it over and over.
I am failing to find them because search engines optimize for recent quotes, but at one point he said if he didn’t get the republican nomination he would run anyways on an independent ticket. If DeSandytits is the nominee, both have enough diehard followers that neither will have enough votes to do shit. If that happens and Trump makes it on the tickets in the red states, the Dems could run a literal potato and win.
… Please, don’t give the Dem leadership any bright ideas. 🥹
Nah, unfortunately they will run Biden. They shouldn’t, but they will. I’m thinking an AI core stuck to a potato for power would be more reasonable at this point. Hell, just a plain potato rotting on a desk for 4 years would likely do the country some good if we could do the same with Congress.
GLaDOS 2024 stickers incoming.
Wake me when AOC is on the ballot? 🤷🏼♂️
That resting ron face says it all…
Hmmm, on Fox News, she says
…because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus.
then during an event in Iowa later on Friday
“that they cannot vote in the caucus process, but they can come and volunteer and they can be a part of it in that way, so you’re seeing people from North Carolina, from South Carolina, from Florida, in particular coming because they feel so strongly about protecting the future of their kids.
One outlet does not equal the other. Is she trying to get these people arrested so they can’t vote at all? Weird concept trying to get your husband elected.
Doesn’t matter that they walked it back. The seed was planted. Count on voter fraud.
A woman’s mouth is not for the exiting of words, but for the entrance of a man’s—dick
