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.
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…
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.
