DeSantis keeps on Winning

Ron DeSantis Wins Again After ‘News’ Outlet Shamed Into Correcting Viral Fake News Story

On Tuesday, Republican Daily reported on how two Democratic strategists notorious for getting it wrong, one of whom has over a million Twitter followers, embarrassed themselves with the sharing of a June 2021 Salon piece about legislation signed by Ron DeSantis at the time that they thought 1) was a new news story (it wasn’t, obviously), and 2) treated as the gospel truth though in actuality the piece was a deliberate distortion about what DeSantis actually signed into law.

For those who missed it, the original tweet, seen below via screengrab – still up on Twitter as of this writing, went viral. Like the tweet, the story, too, began recirculating and was shared by the likes of the frauds at The Lincoln Project as well as former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.):

Salon.com first reported the fake news and then Jon Cooper, the Former National Finance Chair of Draft Biden 2016, Long Island Campaign Chair for @BarackObama & Majority Leader of Suffolk County Legislature, NY. tweeted it.
