Casey DeSantis breaks down in tears as she relives her cancer and chemo battle on breakfast TV - and hits back at media for labeling her America's Karen and Walmart Melania
July 20, 2023
Casey DeSantis broke down in tears on Thursday when she talked about her struggle with breast cancer and admitted that her three children still don't know she had the disease.
'About a year and a half ago, I didn't know whether I would see my kids graduate from kindergarten,' the Florida first lady told Fox News, referring to her October 2021 diagnosis.
With her husband Ron DeSantis at her side, Casey choked up as she described telling her children - Madison, Mason and Mamie - she had hurt her arm because she didn't want them to know she had cancer.
The interview, which aired on the popular morning show 'Fox & Friends,' was a joint endeavor between Casey and Ron DeSantis but it was the first lady who did much of the talking.
She described how her husband had supported her through her treatment, talked about his love for his country, and argued that he is the best person to be the next president of the United States.
She also defended herself against criticism that she is a 'Walmart Melania' and 'America's Karen.'
