A panel discussion on MSNBC over the weekend quickly devolved into the host
and guests slinging insults at Floridas First Lady Casey DeSantis and then
laughing at their own jokes about her.
The panel, hosted by weekend anchor Jonathan Capehart, included former
Florida congressman and former Republican David Jolly along with former
GOP communications director Tara Setmayer. All three of them attacked
Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), taking direct aim at Casey DeSantis recent
Mamas for DeSantis campaign ad.
WATCH:
"She's become America's Karen," @DavidJollyFL says about Casey DeSantis.
"It doesn't matter if it's presented in heels or boots, the DeSantis
doctrine is a losing one." https://t.co/Hn0POU398v

The ad in question tackled some of the same culture war issues that Governor
DeSantis has addressed both on the campaign trail and in his state,
specifically issues that families face as children are confronted in public
schools and libraries with radical gender ideology and drag queen story
hours.
Its so dark! Capehart complained after showing the ad, asking his
panelists to weigh in on the topic.
Casey DeSantis is a fairly compelling political figure in Florida and now
nationally, Jolly began on a positive note. For many, shes the brighter
side to Floridas angry governor. For others, shes become Americas Karen.
And I think thats the ultimate disconnect here with a campaign that needs to
embrace more constituencies to get to the White House.
Jolly went on to say that while he believed Casey DeSantis to be a more
effective messenger than the governor himself, he believed she was
highlighting a message that was not going to be popular. So as I like to
say, it doesnt matter if its presented in heels or boots, the DeSantis
doctrine is a losing one, and were going to learn that the more Casey gets
out there.
David Jolly, you went for it! Capehart said, laughing. Tara, I think
Davids beaten you in terms of taking my breath away during a segment.
Well, I called her the Serena Waterford wannabe needs to cut it out,
Setmayer replied, referencing the evil wife from The Handmaids Tale.
She needs to stop trying to measure the great drapes in the White House and
think that shes some kind of Jackie O reincarnated, Setmayer added.
No one on the panel addressed either the content of Casey DeSantis ad or any
aspect of the DeSantis doctrine that they insisted was a losing doctrine.
