Ron DeSantis donor pitch leans into 'Charlie Foxtrot' language about Jan. 6 coverage

The Governor continues to complain about Jan. 6 commemorations.


Military men like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis know the actual meaning of the phrase “Charlie Foxtrot,” and while the precise translation isn’t suitable for a family publication, it worked just fine as a title for a fundraising email from the DeSantis re-election campaign.

At issue for DeSanits: the media coverage of the anniversary of the Capitol riot. He was fired up about the issue on Thursday at a press conference, and his rhetoric was no less unsparing here.

Describing a “nauseating display of political hypocrisy and grandstanding from Democrats in Congress and in the corporate media,” DeSantis decreed “Jan. 6th is like Christmas for the out-of-touch D.C., New York political and media class.”

DeSantis then denounced a Thursday speech from the Vice President, in fiery rhetoric that could at least in theory be a preview of a 2024 debate: “It is disgusting and insulting to equate a riot on Jan. 6th to Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11th attacks like Kamala Harris did yesterday.”
