Ron DeSantis Ends 2024 Campaign Using Fake Winston Churchill Quote

Newsweek reports that one early instance of the quote being misattributed to Churchill comes, ironically, from a 1939 ad for Budweiser — a company DeSantis has criticized in the recent past.

Reminds me of the ending of Trumps presidency press conference at The Four Seasons Landscaping, lol. These idiots messing up this hard just epitomizes how much of a joke each and every one of them are.

Four Seasons Landscaping is such a huge, embarrassing blunder.

If Biden pulled a stunt like that it would never be let go... But so much bad shit is going on with the donnie debacle that I've almost completely forgotten about four seasons landscaping.

I will never forget Four Seasons Landscaping for the simple reason that it is the funniest thing to ever happen.

It's an SNL skit come to life.

It's so funny that you can't make a joke out of it.

The only option would be to "Normal Al" it and have everyone dress up in costume and deliver the press briefing they intended at the actual Four Seasons.

My favorite part:

During the event, while Giuliani was stating how strong their case was, a reporter interrupted to say that all of the major news networks were now joining in projecting Biden's victory. Giuliani asked "Who was it called by?" Sky News correspondent Mark Stone replied by saying "All the networks." Giuliani then responded by looking heavenward and striking a pose of mock crucifixion, saying "All the, oh my goodness, all the networks. Wow! All the networks!"

Why does this party seem out of Arrested development?

The Bluth family was actually modeled after the Trumps.

At least George actually went to jail for his crimes, I would also unashamedly laugh my dick off at a clip of Melanie’s saying ‘I really don’t care for Eric’

I can only try to picture those thought processes. Like he wants to go to war, so he asks "someone hand me the suitcase 💼? no, I mean hand me the football 🏈? Nvm I'm tired, I think I'll just go to bed 🛏️ early."

I don't believe that was an accident. Everyone on the internet loves to circle jerk themselves over this so called blunder but I have never seen any proof for this theory, and conservatives pretending to be the party of the working man is right out of their playbook. They probably figured they could garner "Joe the Plumber" energy while they staged their coup.

It's hard to imagine that they consciously chose a location next to a sex shop for a press conference.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Even I think you're a meatball, Ron.

Huh. Weird fake quote choice from someone giving a statement on no longer continuing.

Lmao, that's fucking hilarious. What a failure of a politician from every angle

I dunno, it successfully made me laugh:-). This story just keeps getting better and better.

We gotta store up all the laughs we can before Trump wins again:-(.

"Ask not, what you're crunchy can do for shoes... Ask what's in your wallet?"

That is so embarrassing of Ron.

That would require him to be able to feel shame, or for any of his base to care.

As fake as his laugh and smile? Is that even possible?

I don't think his laugh is fake. It's so off putting that I think it's his genuine laugh. If it was fake it would be more appealing, but when he smiles and laughs, he just comes off as a psycho
