Critics bashed an online profile Friday of the wife of expected presidential contender and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling the piece misogynistic and vicious.
The Politico article, “The Casey DeSantis Problem: ‘His Greatest Asset and His Greatest Liability,” quoted anonymous former DeSantis staffers, alleged insiders and Democratic strategists who accused the first lady of Florida of being “blindly ambitious” in an effort to help her husband become the next US president.
The story labeled the 42-year-old former Jacksonville TV anchor, breast-cancer survivor and mom of three “paranoid” and “vindictive” while quoting a male DeSantis supporter who said she needed to “take a more traditional role’’ and a Trump operative who called her similar to “Lady MacBeth.”
