January 1, DeSantis Breaks Silence on “GOP Civil War”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1945: The Nuremberg war trials begin as 24 Nazi leaders are put on trial before judges representing the victorious Allied powers.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) addressed rumors of a “civil war brewing” in the GOP.

DeSantis, 44, was asked about the situation while delivering remarks in Matlacha, Florida.

“We just finished this election, okay?” DeSantis responded. “People just need to chill out a little bit on some of this stuff. I mean, seriously, we just ran an election. We have this Georgia runoff coming, which is very important for Republicans to win that Georgia runoff.”

“I know around the country, Florida was kind of the biggest bright spot, it was not so bright in many other parts of the country,” the governor continued. “It was a substandard performance given the dynamics that are at play.”

DeSantis said he won re-election because he’s focused on leading and delivering results to Floridians. He noted that he didn’t waste any time getting back to work after handily defeating Democratic challenger Charlie Crist last week.

“So at the end of the day, I think what we showed in Florida is just produce results, lead with conviction,” DeSantis said. “I never put my finger in the wind or took polls, I just did what I thought that was right. But what the election gives us the opportunity to do is to continue to deliver. And so we’re going to continue to deliver, we’re not going to look back. And I think that that’s very, very significant.”

The Republican said that if “you look at all the problems that the country is having with the inflation, the open border,” and other issues, “Florida is an example that … you can get the big things right.”

“You know, the good thing about winning a big victory, we’ve got super majorities in the legislature now, and really, I think have have an opportunity to continue great momentum,” he concluded.
