Has he no shame?

https://www.businessinsider.com/casey-desantis-ron-took-care-of-her-and-kids-during-cancer-2022-10

I saw this ad yesterday and was disgusted at the lengths he went to to use her diagnosis to further his political cause. And her tears really seemed sincere.



In a new ad, Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis attempts to share a softer, rarely-seen side of Ron DeSantis, skipping any mention of Trump, a potential 2024 rival

But on Monday, Florida first lady Casey DeSantis took to the airwaves in a new campaign ad to re-introduce her husband as a different kind of fighter — a man who fought for their family when she was receiving treatment for breast cancer.

"When I was diagnosed with cancer and I was facing the battle for my life, he was the dad who took care of my children when I couldn't," she said in the ad. "He was there to pick me off of the ground when I literally could not stand. He was there to fight for me when I didn't have the strength to fight for myself."

Franni suffers from alcoholism and humbly put it out there when her TV ad stated that Al was there to support her, to take care of her, to help her, and that's the kind of man you want in government.

DeSatan helped her when she was sick but let Floridians suffer and die by the thousands from COVID because he wanted to appear Trumpesque and promote fake "freedoms." His bully base was attacking school board members at their homes for promoting masking in public schools while patients were gasping out their final labored breathes in hospitals around the state, and he was fine with that.

When wifey was undergoing treatment, was ANYONE allowed to be around her without a mask, let alone proven vaccination status? Florida's doomed.

yesterday and threw up in my mouth a little. She manages to cry a bit and look so very sad. She also is a former tv personality, btw. Used her illness to convince voters he's a good man.
The ad just seemed phony and used a terrible disease for personal gain.
