\u2018Behind every Republican man, there\u2019s a Republican woman selling out her sisterhood\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Casey DeSantis was mocked as \u201cWalmart Melania\u201d after she wore a leather jacket in the Iowa heat that said \u201cwhere woke goes to die\u201d over a map of Florida and an alligator.
Melania Trump wore a jacket that said \u201cI really don\u2019t care. Do you?\u201d while child immigrants were being separated from their families during the presidency of Donald Trump.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his wife appeared at a campaign stop in Des Moines, Iowa at the Roast and Ride annual event hosted by one of the state\u2019s US Senators, Joni Ernst.
While Mr DeSantis frequently invokes the term \u201cwoke\u201d, his main rival Mr Trump recently said: \u201cI don\u2019t like the term \u2018woke,\u2019 because I hear the term \u2018woke woke woke\u2019 \u2014 it\u2019s just a term they use. Half the people can\u2019t define it. They don\u2019t know what it is.\u201d
Responding on Saturday, Mr DeSantis told the press that \u201cWoke is an existential threat to our society. To say it\u2019s not a big deal, that just shows you don\u2019t understand what a lot of these issues are right now\u201d.
Ms DeSantis has played a large role in her husband\u2019s political life and is now part of the effort to urge suburban women to once again vote for the GOP, Insider noted.
As the first lady of the Sunshine State was mocked as \u201cWalmart Melania\u201d, Twitter users were divided on the moniker.
\u201cBehind every Republican man, there\u2019s a Republican woman selling out her sisterhood,\u201d the account Tea Pain tweeted.
\u201cStop attacking family members of political candidates. It just shows that you are petty and lack the ability to push back on policy,\u201d Brian Krassenstein wrote. \u201cWhether it\u2019s [calling] Casey DeSantis \u2018Walmart Melania\u2019 or questioning Dr Jill Biden\u2019s use of \u2018Dr\u2019 your petty name calling and nitpicking is childish and idiotic. Solutions don\u2019t come by name-calling. Solutions come via dialogue. We can all be better.\u201d
\u201cSorry, Walmart Melania made herself fair game when she put on this jacket,\u201d one Twitter user said.
Pro-Trump commentator Laura Loomer said the governor and his wife are \u201ccheap knockoffs of Melania and Donald Trump\u201d.
\u201cThe only problem with calling Casey DeSantis Walmart Melania is that it is an implicit compliment to Melania, implying that she is somehow superior to Casey. And she is not. They are both dreadful enablers who wear crass clothing,\u201d the account of Betty Bowers, a character played by comedian Deven Green, wrote.
\u201cY\u2019all should really be ashamed of yourselves for stooping so low as to call the First Lady<\/em> of Florida \u2018Walmart Melania\u2019 when \u2018Kmart Casey\u2019 was sitting right there,\u201d one Twitter user said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
