DeSantis didn’t cheat on his third wife with a porn star and pay her money to keep quiet before an election

Rather than let the nation move on and Republican voters decide the fate of former President Donald Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has decided to make the very sordid details of the 45th president’s sex life (once again) the national obsession. In a fairly overt political weaponization of his office, Bragg, who has happily let rapists and murderers run rampant in the Big Apple, is reportedly set to indict Trump for breaking state laws when he allegedly bought the silence of a porn star with whom he cheated on his third and current wife.
A brief refresher for those who have mercifully forgotten this whole ordeal: In 2016, then-Trump fixer Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 in exchange for a nondisclosure agreement after she alleged having an affair with the future president in 2006. The money Cohen used came directly from the Trump Organization. Cohen said that the money transfer was arranged by the organization’s then-CFO, Allen Weisselberg. Weisselberg is currently serving five months in prison for a tax fraud conviction stemming from the scheme, and Cohen served three years for related campaign finance violations. Trump has repeatedly denied the affair with “Horseface” ever happened.
SVB FAILED BECAUSE IT BET THE MONEY PRINTER WOULD NEVER STOP
You know who is not involved in any of this? The happily-married-to-his-first-wife Ron DeSantis. And you know who Trumpworld made the villain of the weekend? You guessed it — the Florida governor. After two days of Trump’s closest allies demanding that DeSantis address the arrest rumor, he did, first thing on Monday morning, condemning the “Soros-funded prosecutor” for “pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office.” This was the response from Donald Trump Jr.
Republican voters surely wanted DeSantis’s condemnation of yet another pro-crime district attorney targeting a political opponent while letting violent criminals walk free, but beyond that, DeSantis owes Trump nothing. Recall that it was literally last month when Trump teased that DeSantis sexually abused underage girls, sharing an unverified photo with the caption, “Here is Ron DeSanctimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher,” with a link to a left-wing outlet raving about this baseless conspiracy theory.
I get that we live in the post-Clinton era, a political climate in which both parties’ presidential candidates were accused of sexual assault, and nobody blinked an eye. But however obscene Bragg’s criminal persecution of Trump may be, can ostensibly pro-family and pro-marriage conservatives just consider the fact that it may be less of a headache to elect a presidential candidate who has not been accused of cheating on multiple of his three wives? What about one who has not been accused of sexual assault? What about one who has not publicly befriended a convicted sex trafficker and offered his well wishes to another one?
DeSantis may be boring, “DeSanctimonious,” or whatever tacky insult Trump generates next. But until he provides any evidence to the contrary, it is safe to assume that DeSantis has never cheated on his (first and only) wife with a porn star and violated campaign finance law to pay for said porn star’s silence.
