Two-boots DeSantis just got fleeced by one of his own, and now that individual is resigning from one of the biggest DeSantis PACs.
Jeff Rose, the senior strategist for the “Never Back Down” DeSantis Super PAC, resigned on Saturday following a damaging report from The Washington Post that revealed turmoil within the PAC.
In only the past few weeks DeSantis has lost four of his top campaign and campaign finance officials including Roe, who marks the most significant loss.
Indeed, it is hard to paint a rosy picture of Ron DeSantis’ campaign efforts now, I don’t want to count the chickens before they hatch, but it looks to be all over for DeSantis. Why else would so many high-ranking campaign officials jump ship?
Some sources are even claiming that Roe was taking 2/3rds of the political donations through his entities and squandering the rest—literal millions lost.
Roger Stone writes: “How ironic that Ron and Casey DeSantis, both major control freaks, who fear that everyone is trying to steal from them, turned their political fortunes and millions over to perhaps the greatest gonif in American political history – Jeff Roe, who burned through millions and has nothing whatsoever to show for it.”

Senior Political Reporter at the Daily Beast Roger Sollenberger claimed: “Given the news Jeff Roe has left the Ron DeSantis “Never Back Down” super PAC, here’s from my Pay Dirt newsletter a couple weeks back showing that Roe’s firms got 2 of every 3 dollars the super PAC has reported spending—$41.1 million, with millions more yet to be reported.”

The Epoch Times provided an excerpt of the claims made in the Washington Post article:
“Following mismanagement and conduct issues, including numerous unauthorized leaks containing false information, senior officials were terminated,” Mr. Wagner told The Post.
“We don’t have time to indulge false narratives from those with ulterior motives.”
A lawyer for the terminated employees contacted Mr. Wagner shortly after his comment was published by The Post, saying that the quote was “categorically false.”
Jeff Roe penned his own goodbye note and said: “I can’t believe it ended this way. I’m so proud to have worked alongside these men and women at NBD 24/7 the past nine months to save the country. Good luck the next 28 days and a wake up. I’m so sorry I can’t be there with you.”

Axios provided a list of those who have recently left the DeSantis Super PAC:
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt had announced he would be stepping down as chair of the super PAC in a late November letter, per the New York Times.
In November, the super PAC’s CEO Chris Jankowski also resigned. Kristin Davison, who took over for Jankowski as CEO, was fired just days after she stepped into the role.
