So, there is WAY more to the story of a DeSantis 'Super PAC' reportedly switching allegiances

Today, there were many breathless headlines about a Super PAC formerly supporting Ron DeSantis shifting its support to Donald Trump. The reasons given were DeSantis' shaky launch on Twitter Spaces and other campaign errors. It certainly sounded like really bad news for Team DeSantis who will need all the money they can get to fight the primary.

A super PAC set up to back Ron DeSantis with $50 million is closing as donors backed out - while its founder said the Florida governor's campaign was guilty of 'rookie s**t' mistakes and he will now back Donald Trump.

John Thomas, a Republican strategist known as the 'Billy the Kid of Political Battles' set up 'Ron to the Rescue' in November and had secured financial commitments from mega-wealthy donors.

But he said the donors began having second thoughts after the botched DeSantis campaign launch on Twitter Spaces in May.

Pretty discouraging news for the DeSantis camp for sure ... or is it? Rob Pyers, tech genius and campaign data savant, dug into the PAC's financial data and found some interesting information.

So apparently this 'mega' PAC had raised a bit over $1500 and they already spent it without donating to ANY candidate.

Christina Pushaw and Bryan Griffin, both part of DeSantis' campaign communications staff, both confirmed Pyers reporting.

Apparently, some people associated with the PAC had previous fraud allegations when they allegedly did not supply masks as contracted during the pandemic.

Sigh. This seems like many layers. In any case, this story seems like a big nothing burger. It's tempting to jump on a story supporting your particular preferences. This is just another reminder to check the backstory before sharing.
