DeSantis is Raising Funds Unethically
He is using his personal staff to solicit donations and endorsements
So, it seems that Ron DeSantis, the former Dark Lord of Florida who is now just your friendly neighborhood autocrat, is raising funds for his presidential campaign the same way that he has ruled … oops, governed … the state of Florida — using intimidation.
Lobbyists are reporting that they are being contacted by Ronnie’s staff and asked to donate to his presidential campaign using a special link. The link tells the campaign (and Ronnie) who gave and how much, as well as which staff member made the ask.
Normally … remember, this is Florida, and nothing is normal there … members of campaign staff solicit donations for political campaigns, not state employees.
Now, before you get all shocked and appalled, this is perfectly legal in Florida as long as the employees solicit donations on their own time using their own devices, not their state-issued ones.
How much do you wanna bet that that rule is being broken?
Florida — where woke and election laws go to die.
Now here’s the fun part.
