‘Sham Impeachment:’ Texas GOP, Trump Allies Blast Attempt to Impeach AG Ken Paxton

The speaker of the Texas state legislature, Rep. Dade Phelan (R), is leading an effort to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Donald Trump ally and one of the most staunch foes of Big Tech censorship.

Nominally a Republican, Rep. Phelan has appointed over a dozen Democrats to chair committees in the Texas legislature, despite the GOP holding a supermajority in the chamber.

Phelan is a state representative for Texas’ 21st district, which covers most of Jefferson and all of Orange and Jasper counties in the southeast corner of the state.

Former president Donald Trump has called out Phelan in the past on a number of issues. Calling the speaker “another Mitch McConnell,” Trump has called out the Texas politician for siding with Democrats to reduce penalties for illegal voting.

Now Phelan is going after Ken Paxton, one of Trump’s biggest allies in the Lone Star State, leading to condemnation from the Texas GOP.

The statement, signed by Republican Party of Texas chairman Matt Rinaldi, slammed the speaker for his friendliness to Democrats and his relitigating of old allegations against Paxton — allegations that even the Biden Administration’s Department of Justice has yet to bring charges over.

“Speaker Dade Phelan and his leadership team have appointed Democrats to high ranking leadership positions, attacked the Republican Party of Texas, battled our conservative Lieutenant Governor, and killed Governor Abbott’s top priorities,” wrote Rinaldi.

“The impeachment proceedings against the Attorney General are but the latest front in the Texas House’s war against Republicans to stop the conservative direction of our state.”

“This sham impeachment is the result of the Phelan leadership team empowering Democrats, allowing them to hold leadership positions and letting them control the agenda,” continued the statement.

“It is based on allegations already litigated by voters, led by a liberal Speaker trying to undermine his conservative adversaries, and investigated by lawyers connected to a Democrat on the House General Investigations Committee. The voters have supported General Paxton through three elections — and his popularity has only grown despite millions of dollars spent to try to defeat him. Now the Texas House is trying to overturn the election results.”

As attorney general, Paxton has proven one of the most effective foes of Big Tech censorship. He is leading one of the largest multi-state antitrust lawsuits against Google over its ad dominance, as well as a lawsuit against the same tech company over biometric data collection.

Paxton also recently launched an inquiry into the pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Moderna, investigating allegations that the companies misrepresented the safety and efficacy of their coronavirus vaccines.

In his campaign against the attorney general, Phelan and his allies in the Texas sate legislature is alleging a long list of prior improprieties, including bribery allegations. But these allegations were widely broadcast to voters ahead of the 2022 elections for attorney general, which Paxton comfortably won.

The Biden Administration’s justice department is, as of yet, unwilling to charge Paxton with any crime — yet the Republican speaker of the Texas House is willing to recommend impeachment.

On social media, conservative influencers slammed Phelan’s efforts to take down Paxton, and called on Texas voters to contact their representatives.

“Big Tech has bribed Texas Republicans into taking out their critic AG Paxton. Tomorrow the Texas House will vote to impeach! Unless you get on the telephone and start making calls!” said author and filmmaker Mike Cernovich.

Bill Barr Is His Own Worst Enemy

By J.B. Shurk

Uniparty propagandist and Deep State shill Bill Barr is waddling from one television studio to the next to tell audiences that the feds will almost certainly indict Donald Trump by late summer for mishandling classified documents. The Cheka FBI has been outed as a criminal enterprise engaged in subverting elections and spying on the American people, but sure, let's get all worked up about whether the president of the United States — in whom the Constitution's Article II executive powers are vested — has somehow inexplicably infringed his own declassification authority. Although Augustus Gloop Barr can barely conceal his joy, this tiring new chapter in the never-ending "get Trump" saga comes off as yet another manifestation of Bizarro World, in which a group of criminals running the American government get to pretend that nobody is "above the law."

Walrus Barr enjoys playing the "scolding father" who "knows best" in a worn-out daddy routine alongside scripted corporate news hosts performing for the cameras. Although he remains a consummate Deep State stooge who will do anything to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office, he also spends a great deal of TV time burnishing his "I'm the only adult in the room" bona fides. He has called out New York State's vindictive lawsuits against President Trump as a "political hit job" and "gross overreach." He has excoriated Democrat district attorney of New York Alvin Bragg's Trump indictment as an "abomination" that "makes us look like a banana republic." He acknowledges that the Durham probe proves that "Russiagate" has not only been a "grave injustice" to Trump, but has also "vindicated" the president's accurate denunciation of the Clinton-Obama Russia Hoax conspiracy as a "witch hunt" from the very beginning. Barr readily admits, in other words, that state and federal prosecutors have shamelessly pursued Trump for recklessly and maliciously partisan reasons that have threatened both the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power in the United States.

After broadly recognizing the seriousness of the Deep State's crimes and the depth of its depravity, though, loyal palace guard Barr then sweeps these horrific State crimes to the side, shakes his head in disgust, and instead blames his former boss for being "his own worst enemy." Right. How dare the guy who has been doggedly persecuted for seven years fight back against Intelligence Community villainy? How dare the same guy who has been framed by agents of the Stasi FBI and DOJ now distrust those corrupted agencies? How dare Donald Trump call out the new batch of criminal investigations as part and parcel of the longstanding political "witch hunt" against him when Barr begrudgingly concedes that the "witch hunt" is real?

The more Barr excuses or ignores the long list of government criminals who have suffered no repercussions for betraying their offices, the more he looks like a willing co-conspirator. The more Barr chooses to look past the most grievous crimes committed against a duly elected president while sensationalizing Trump's supposed document infractions, the more ludicrously corrupt and farcically politicized the criminal "justice" system appears to be. In other words, if Barr's principal concern is to maintain the illusion of government even handedness and legal impartiality, then Barr is his own worst enemy!

>>18910661

The Durham Report confirms that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the U.S. Intelligence Community framed Donald Trump as a Russian spy in a criminal conspiracy to topple his presidency. That's a pretty big deal. In another age in which the thick ooze of State propaganda and censorship had not already blinded too many Americans from seeing clearly, the Obama-Clinton-I.C. plot to depose a sitting president would have been rightly understood not only as a politically destabilizing event with far-reaching consequences, but also as an unprecedented crime demanding heads to roll. Instead, the illustrious culprits behind this veritable coup not only walk freely but also do so while Barr and other Deep State sycophants shrink from speaking their names. Meanwhile, the Durham Report also confirms that FBI leadership sabotaged multiple criminal investigations into the Clintons during that same time period, corroborating Americans' suspicions that there is no law or justice — only politically motivated persecution. Additionally, even though the State-controlled press corps and federal law enforcement agencies have worked to bury overwhelming evidence of Biden family quid-pro-quo bribery schemes rendering the current White House occupant beholden to the blackmail of foreign governments, a majority of Americans have still managed to see through these orchestrated cover-ups and conclude that China Joe has committed "high crimes and misdemeanors" while in office.

Of course, because Americans are also very much aware that they now live under a two-tiered system of "justice" that specializes in propaganda and censorship, only a small minority expect Dementia Joe to be impeached or suffer any legal consequences. All this obvious government malfeasance is enough for Congresswoman Harriet Hageman from Wyoming to conclude, "[FBI director] Christopher Wray and [Attorney General] Merrick Garland are corrupt. They know it, we know it, and the American people know it." A rare exception proving the general rule that the federal government is run by vermin and swine, Hageman has been blunt: "[a]s the DOJ and FBI have become more political, they have amassed more power. And as they have amassed more power they have become more political."

Yet even now, while this avalanche of federal corruption and political persecution is obvious to all but the willfully blind, Bill Barr still expects Donald Trump to be arrested and tried for possessing documents that he alone, while president, was entirely empowered to declassify. Actually, according to the illegal leaks to the press, Special Counsel Jack Smith will most likely pursue Trump not for possessing the documents, but rather for somehow "obstructing" the federal government's investigation into whether he possessed the documents. So once again, the State political police have made President Trump a criminal target for opposing an investigation that should have never begun in the first place.

Hillary can willfully destroy evidence without consequence; Obama can organize a coup d'état of his successor without fear of punishment; the FBI and DOJ can get caught illegally spying on Donald Trump, fabricating evidence, and lying to the press about his criminal culpability — yet it is Trump whose efforts to oppose the Deep State mean he must be jailed. Just as the Durham Report proves that an elaborate government conspiracy existed to frame, depose, and criminally imperil President Trump, the same Department of (in)Justice complicit in those crimes will now seek an encore. And because the criminal conspirators continue to be rewarded for their crimes, the criminal victim, Donald Trump, will continue to be persecuted.

In 2016, Democrats accused candidate Trump of being a wannabe dictator for accurately noting that had anybody else stored top-secret communications on an unsecured, home-brew bathroom server — as Hillary Clinton had done — that person would already be in jail for having violated a bevy of national security laws. Earlier that summer, then–FBI director Jim Comey had laid out the compelling case against Hillary, before concluding that "no reasonable prosecutor" would dare try for a conviction. The lesson to the public was clear: the feds would not go after Clinton or other prominent Democrats even when the evidence for wrongdoing was overwhelming.

Going into the 2024 election, though, corrupt Democrat prosecutors from New York, Georgia, and the federal government are inventing crimes to use against Trump that have never and would never be attempted against any other politician. They prove who the real dictators are. In Bizarro World, the criminals run free, and the innocent are imprisoned! A tyrannical Deep State engages in propaganda, censorship, and political repression. And large Bill Barr largely stays silent.

Americans are becoming aware of problems with the Deep State

By Andrea Widburg

I must admit that I haven’t taken much interest in the Durham Report. That’s because it’s mostly a compilation of things conservative news junkies already knew. Additionally, Durham did exactly what Comey did vis-à-vis Hillary in 2016: He laid out a long list of wrongful behaviors and then said, “Never mind.” Without recommended indictments, the report is a meh. What’s heartening, though, is a poll that says that a majority of Americans are finally figuring out that they’ve been victims of the big lie.

The Democrat-affiliated mainstream media have been downplaying the Durham report. Because it doesn’t recommend indictments, the spin is that there’s nothing to see in the report.

What’s amazing, though, is that, despite this news blackout, Americans know that the Russian collusion claim was a hoax, that Hunter Biden’s laptop is real, and that the FBI has become a dangerous institution that colluded with the Bidens to cover their influence peddling. Americans also aren’t buying the MSM’s insistence that Biden is a functional human being:

To start:

Majorities of Americans say it's false that Trump colluded with Russia. The the Steele Dossier is also "false."

In other words, they view the story the US media aggressively centered for 3 years as a hoax and a fraud, yet NBC and CNN won't even air this view. pic.twitter.com/wqULHK4Rd9

— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023

Majorties of Americans also believe:

• Hunter Biden engaged in criminal influence peddling using his father's name.

• The FBI is not investigating these crimes.

• Joe Biden participated in Hunter's illegal influence peddling and profiteering schemes. pic.twitter.com/HJP4sSfogw

— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023

Large majorities of Americans have serious doubts about Biden's mental fitness to be President, and believe he is too old.

Unsurprisingly, then, Trump leads Biden by 7 points for 2024, and Kamala Harris by 11 points.

Can the media be more out-of-touch? pic.twitter.com/UypeQhYmvG

— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023

Only 40% of Dem voters say they intend to vote for Biden *in the Dem primary."

For whatever reason, the poll excluded the challenger near 20%: RFK, Jr.

But even many Dems say Biden lacks mental fitness and they don't want to vote for him. pic.twitter.com/dynoAw045M

— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) May 21, 2023

What's so striking here isn't that the corporate media relentlessly advocates views and ideologies that majorities of Americans - often large majorities - reject.

It's that the views held by majorities are all but banned on NBC, CNN, NYT and WPost. Thus, this is not a mystery: pic.twitter.com/Xm3lh0HUzv

>>18910677

The poll is obviously good news for Trump, who was the Democrats’ primary target. Even if Americans aren’t thinking of the word “coup,” they are grasping that a coup is what took place.

However, the poll is good news in another way. Once people realize they’ve been the victim of lies, they become usefully cynical. It’s like the saying, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.” Americans, if they’re thinking rationally, should never be able to look at the mainstream news in the same way, especially considering that the COVID lies are unraveling as well, whether about masks, lockdowns, or “vaccinations.”

Just as importantly, that dawning cynicism may generally affect the public’s willingness to accept the media’s and other leftists’ ideas about America and politics. After all, if the mainstream media spent three years lying non-stop about Trump, the Bidens, and COVID, isn’t it possible that they’re lying about such things as climate change, the economy, the southern border, etc.?

In Shakespeare’s Othello, Cassio exclaims, “Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!”

That reckoning is exactly what should be happening to the mainstream media and, indeed, the entire Democrat party. (And, unlike Cassio, neither of those institutions has the excuse that it was an unwitting pawn.) With Americans’ growing awareness that Democrats in and out of the media lied relentlessly, those institutions are fast losing their reputations, and Americans are finally seeing that what remains is truly bestial.

Elon Musk and MAGA May Be Headed For a Nasty Showdown Over DeSantis

MAY 25, 2023 1:40 PM EDT

After Ron DeSantis’s glitch-riddled presidential campaign launch on Wednesday, Donald Trump did something entirely predictable: he mocked him on social media. The former President posted a video with the words “Ron! 2024” superimposed on a SpaceX rocket going up in flames.

But the needling was aimed at more than just his most formidable 2024 rival. It was also a repudiation of Musk, the owner of both Twitter and SpaceX, who in recent months has become something of a hero to the MAGA right.

After purchasing Twitter, Musk swiftly reinstated the accounts of Trump allies who were removed under the previous ownership for spreading misinformation. Then he released the so-called Twitter Files, a series of internal documents that showed the company’s deliberations on crucial content moderation decisions. Republicans widely cited the material as evidence that the platform had been systematically suppressing conservative speech. Musk has further amplified right-wing banter to his more than 140 million followers. And last month, he welcomed the recently fired Fox News host Tucker Carlson to launch a new show on Twitter.

But now, the MAGA-Musk relationship is far more complicated. While the billionaire has made Twitter a haven for hard-right Trumpian voices, he’s appeared to cross the man who leads the MAGA movement, which has been a source of many of his most loyal supporters since taking over the influential communications platform, even as Trump has stayed on his alternative site Truth Social.

Musk tweeted last year that he would support DeSantis for president if he ran. In April, he appeared on Carlson’s show, then still on Fox, and suggested that he didn’t want Trump back in the White House: “I would prefer, frankly, that we put someone, just a normal person as president.” He’s continued to send messages that he’s eager for an alternative to Trump. On Monday, he raised eyebrows after retweeting South Carolina Senator Tim Scott’s presidential announcement video. Then on Wednesday night, he participated in DeSantis’s campaign launch during a live audio conversation on Twitter, which he co-moderated with the venture capitalist and GOP donor David Sacks.

Despite his comments last year, Musk has tried to tamp down the perception that he’s endorsing DeSantis; he suggested at a Wall Street Journal forum on Tuesday that he’s merely promoting his social media firm.But he’s still been drawing the ire of some of the former President’s fiercest allies and surrogates, who see him as a self-interested businessman whose proclamations are disingenuous.

“Sacks and Musk are oligarchs,” Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon tells TIME. “DeSantis comes from billionaires’ lunch to launch at an oligarch’s ball.” (The Florida governor held a lunch on Wednesday with donors at the Four Seasons in Miami before the Twitter Spaces event.)

Musk’s latest moves have also made some MAGA influencers worried about whether he may tilt the platform’s scales during the primary. “The thing that I’m concerned about is, will Elon suppress Trump supporters on the website?” says Alex Bruesewitz, a GOP consultant and CEO of the Trump-allied firm X Strategies. “Will Community Notes be biased in one direction over the other?” he asks, referring to the site’s fact-checking service. “Those are things that we’re gonna have to wait and see.”

>>18910760

Hours after the DeSantis campaign launch, a pro-Trump Super PAC’s tweet criticizing DeSantis’s record in Congress showed a Community Note with points undermining the attack.

To Peter Loge, a political communications professor at George Washington University, the DeSantis Twitter launch was designed as “a clever political stunt” that would be mutually beneficial to both parties. “This isn’t a complicated political strategy,” Loge tells TIME. “Elon Musk wants money and attention. Ron DeSantis desperately needs somebody to pay attention to him.”

Trump’s team declined to comment on Musk’s involvement in the announcement, but one Trump adviser teased the Florida governor for his venue choice, implying that it was indicative of the common perception that he’s socially awkward. “Announcing on Twitter is perfect for Ron DeSantis,” they told TIME. “This way he doesn’t have to interact with people and the media can’t ask him any questions.”

But even as Musk has been muddying his stature among the MAGA faithful, some of Trump’s supporters in Congress remain optimistic that he will live up to the identity he’s cultivated in their orbit as a speech-rights absolutist.

“I don’t know that Elon will suppress MAGA,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who has endorsed Trump, told TIME. “From what I hear and from his actions that I have observed, he is very much so a libertarian when it comes to free speech. He spent a large portion of his fortune on Twitter to show how important free speech is and then handed over the Twitter Files so we could investigate.”

Luna, a social media influencer before arriving to Capitol Hill, sits on the House Oversight Committee, which is currently investigating Hunter Biden. The panel held a hearing earlier this year focused largely on the Twitter Files’ first installment, in a session that highlighted communications between the company’s top executives on the decision to suppress the original New York Post story on the president’s son’s laptop.

While Musk has unambiguously aligned himself with the American right since his $44 billion Twitter acquisition,he hasn’t always been in lock-stepwith the right-wing nationalist populists who comprise the MAGA movement. He’s widely seen as sympathetic to Vladimir Putin; he once called one of the Russian President’s ally’s tweets predicting an end to the Russia-Ukraine war an “Epic thread!” ButMusk has also been providing Ukraine with satellites that have served as vital to its self-defense. At the same time, he’s corporate tycoon who created an electrical vehicles company, a line of business that’s not exactly a favorite among the far-right.

Meanwhile, his rhetoric has been increasingly reactionary. In October, days after the Twitter purchase, he shared a conspiracy theory about former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul. A few months later, he channeled conservative grievances by tweeting, “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci.”

That may have gained him adulation among MAGA diehards, even as he diverges with them on some core policy issues. He’s also resurrected their ability to participate on the platform with arguably the most influential political audience in the world. But Trump and his associates may not be as forgiving over anything seen as a direct assault on Trump the man. Says Bruesewitz:“Just because he says right-wing things doesn’t mean that conservatives are going to give him a pass.”

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (& women) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men (& Women), deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —

Trump’s Campaign Launch Reached Over 13 Million More Americans Than DeSantis.

Donald Trump’s presidential announcement at Mar-a-Lago last November was viewed by around 4.5 times the number of people as that of Governor Ron DeSantis’s on Twitter this week, according to the data.

DeSantis said his glitch-ridden Twitter Space, or a recording of it, had been watched by “probably over 10 million people”. There’s no evidence of this. In fact, the Space managed only just over 300,000 concurrent listeners, with Twitter showing a currently tally of 3.9 million people tuning in.

Trump’s announcement, despite many news networks not carrying it in full, interspersing it with adverts, or not carrying it at all, achieved millions more concurrent viewers. Fox News alone pulled in over 5.16 million people in the time slot, with CNN piling on 2.43 million more.

The number of people who tuned in after the fact is harder to determine, but some indication of the level of interest in Trump’s annoucement can be determined from looking at the numbers for networks which streamed Trump’s announcement on YouTube: Fox News pulled in 1.2m views, Fox Business another 826,000, and CNBC 612,000, for example.

Video of the full speech uploaded to the site by CNN adds 660,800 viewers, ABC Action News another 923,000, with hundreds of thousands more spread out across channels for relatively obscure broadcasters, with uploads of the speech by the likes of Fox 2 Detroit, for example, boasting 117,000 views. Video streaming platform Rumble showed a further 2.05 million views on the official account of Donald J. Trump alone, while the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) announced that it hit more than 3.8 million viewers for the speech.

Trump again demonstrated this “ratings gold” again in April 2023, with a major speech following his indictment in New York being viewed by 6.6 million viewers on Fox alone, with another 2.125 million watching on CNN – “far higher than the network ha[d] seen in prime time in months,” Forbes observed.

2024 ELECTION

Ron DeSantis administration officials solicit campaign cash from lobbyists

The practice raises ethical and legal questions about state employees trying to raise campaign cash from lobbyists who have business currently before the governor.

May 25, 2023, 10:29 PM EDT

By Matt Dixon and Jonathan Allen

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Officials who work for Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration — not his campaign — have been sending text messages to Florida lobbyists soliciting political contributions for DeSantis' presidential bid, a breach of traditional norms that has raised ethical and legal questions and left many here in the state capital shocked.

NBC News reviewed text messages from four DeSantis administration officials, including those directly in the governor's office and with leadership positions in state agencies. They requested the recipient of the message contribute to the governor’s campaign through a specific link that appeared to track who is giving as part of a “bundle” program.

“The bottom line is that the administration appears to be keeping tabs on who is giving, and are doing it using state staff,” a longtime Florida lobbyist said. “You are in a prisoner’s dilemma. They are going to remain in power. We all understand that.”

NBC News is not naming the specific staffers who sent the text messages because it could out the lobbyists who received the messages and shared them.

DeSantis’ office did not return a request seeking comment, but one administration official acknowledged that they were fundraising for the campaign.

"I’m not sure what every EOG staffer does on their free time and after hours, with their first amendment rights, but I wouldn’t be shocked if team eog somehow raised more money than lobbyists," the administration official said in a text message, referring to an acronym for the governor's office. "I can confirm I (and many other staff) personally donated."

Generally, political staffers are charged with raising money for political campaigns, and aides on the official side are walled off from those operations.

The legality of the solicitations depends on a series of factors, including whether they were sent on state-owned phones, or if they were sent on state property. A longtime Florida election law attorney said that even if the DeSantis aides are fundraising for the campaign in their personal capacity, off the government clock, it still raised ethical questions.

“At a minimum, even if they are sitting in their home at 9 p.m. using their personal phone and contacting lobbyists that they somehow magically met in their personal capacity and not through their role in the governor’s office, it still smells yucky,” the attorney said. “There’s a misuse of public position issue here that is obvious to anyone paying attention.”

But the practice was still jaw-dropping for those who have long been involved in Florida politics.

NBC News spoke with 10 Republican lobbyists in Florida, all of whom said they couldn't remember being solicited for donations so overtly by administration officials — especially at a time when the governor still has to act on the state budget.

That process that involves DeSantis using his line-item veto pen to slash funding for projects that the same lobbyists whom they are asking for political cash have a professional stake in. Most of the lobbyists said they felt pressure to give to the governor's campaign.

Ron DeSantis' campaign launch on Twitter plagued by tech glitches

“What the f— am I supposed to do?” one lobbyist said. “I have a lot of business in front of the DeSantis administration.”

“The ethics behind this is questionable at best, especially when the budget has yet to be acted on,” another Republican lobbyist said.

“It is walking a very close line to what is ethical and possibly legal. It is state employees leveraging their official position to ask people whose livelihood depend on access to state government for money,” a Florida lobbyist said.

“Using a bundle code makes it look like certain employees get credit with the campaign,” the person added. “It’s very questionable.”

DeSantis launched his presidential campaign on Wednesday, in a Twitter Spaces conversation with Elon Musk that was marred with technical glitches that at times overshadowed the event itself.

On Thursday, DeSantis’ campaign announced it had raised $8.2 million in its first 24 hours, a staggering sum.

DeSantis has framed much of his political persona as a political outsider whose goal is to “drain the swamp.” His campaign store quickly started offering t-shirts saying “DeSantis breaks systems” after the flubbed Twitter rollout, which his campaign is saying was due to such a high level of interest that the social media platform simply could not handle.

“The practice feeds the DeSantis corrupt swampy meme perfectly for opponents. For no f-- reason,” said another veteran Florida Republican. “Hard to be Mr. Break the Internet and Swamp when you do this. Really dumb.”

Republican consultants and fundraisers in other states told NBC News they have not heard of a similar situation of state employees trying to get political contributions, and it would raise serious questions if their clients tried a similar approach.

“If any of my clients had legislative staff sending out donation links, we would be having a hard conversation,” a Republican fundraiser who works on federal elections said.

The person added that regardless of legal implications, the optics of taxpayer-funded staff asking lobbyists for political cash are bad.

“Whoever is telling these kids to do this has lost their damn mind,” said another Florida Republican lobbyist.
