The Republican Governors Association (RGA) paid the DeSantis Campaign to attack President Trump.

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse often puts together some great work. This week he landed another great piece.

According to Sundance, the Republican Governors Association donated funds to DeSantis in 2022 for his gubernatorial campaign. This money was then used in DeSantis’s campaign for President. The attacks on President Trump were funded in part with this money.

This is kind of a funny and very real political story if you follow the mechanics of it. Essentially, it starts out with Politico noting the Ron DeSantis’ Super PAC Never Back Down, paid the Club for Growth Super PAC, Win It Back, $2.75 million dollars to run attack ads against Donald Trump. {Background Story}

Apparently, Ron DeSantis didn’t want to attack Trump directly, so using the Machiavellian tactics the professionally Republican group is known for, DeSantis funded a third-party to attack Trump on his behalf. A lot of people take issue with this discovery, but the story is actually deeper, and yes, even more Machiavellian.

You see, you might remember the DeSantis Super PAC was actually funded from the remaining campaign funds of Ron DeSantis in 2022. This was done with forethought and by specific design. This part is even noted in the Politico outline. However, what is missing is the other layer. The DeSantis campaign was funded with $20 million by the Republican Governors Association (RGA). That is a big part of the money that was later transferred to the super PAC.

So put this in context, because this is the non-pretending reality that was built into the program.

The RGA gives DeSantis $20 million in 2022 knowing it will be transferred into his presidential campaign super PAC in 2023. A part of that money – $2.75 million – is then sent to the Club for Growth (C4G). The Club for Growth then attacks Donald Trump. In essence, the Republican Governors Association funded the attack against Trump using DeSantis as the broker. Three layers of plausible deniability built in.

Now, ask yourself, who exactly does the RGA support? What is the goal and intent of this “approved Republican” political system that operates in the background of our national politics? When you answer those questions, you realize why the RNC has no support from Republican base voters…

…Not only did Ron DeSantis support the attacks against Donald Trump, but his campaign also financed those attacks in common alignment with the RGA, RNC and Club for Growth. This is a great example of the “illusion of choice” we have often discussed.

The GOP doesn’t like their party. We saw it first when candidate Trump stepped up in 2016. Then we saw FOX fall apart with its grand finale on election night 2020. While massive corruption was taking place around the country, FOX was ridiculing its base and President Trump’s base and telling us how lousy we all were for supporting President Trump. A short time later Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino were gone and FOX paid Dominion nearly $1 billion without waiting for the results of the Georgia audit of the Dominion machines in use there.

Since then the Trump base has only grown and Professor Halderman shared more support that the Dominion machines are not secure. And FOX news moved on with their anti-Trump attitude.
