Former Republican Rep. Jim Bridenstine told a crowd of DeSantis supporters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, about his unusual daily 'meetings' with the GOP Florida Governor.

Former Oklahoma Republican Representative Jim Bridenstine raised eyebrows after telling a crowd of Florida Republican Ron Desantis' supporters about their unusual daily "meetings."

Bridenstine said he and DeSantis used to take showers together "in the basement" and discuss politics when they were both members of the House of Representatives.


You can hear what Bridenstine said in the video below.

Bridenstine said:

"He lived in his office like I lived in my office and together we would take a shower in the basement [and have] a daily meeting when we took showers."
"Am I allowed to say that?"

People were undeniably weirded out by Bridenstine's admission.

Many pointed out the homoerotic subtext—ironic considering DeSantis' regular attacks against LGBTQ+ people in his state.



Bridenstine, who previously served as the NASA administrator under former President Donald Trump, recently threw his support behind DeSantis:

“Governor DeSantis and I were classmates in Congress, original members of the Freedom Caucus, and we have worked together on many legislative issues over the years."
"Governor DeSantis is highly intellectual, always willing to listen, and relentless in fighting for what’s right."
"He has always been strong on defense and a great advocate for America’s space program. He will make a great Commander in Chief.”

Additionally, 20 state lawmakers from Oklahoma announced their endorsement of the Florida governor, further bolstering his campaign ahead of a visit to the state this past weekend.

Oklahoma, a traditionally conservative state, serves as a key battleground in the upcoming Republican primaries. DeSantis' ability to secure the support of Bridenstine and the backing of numerous state lawmakers indicates he enjoys considerable support in the race for the GOP nomination.

However, DeSantis has continued to face criticism amid concerns among Republican operatives about his apparent lack of social skills or personality.

According to the New York Times, the governor had to be reminded to maintain eye contact and shake hands during his visit to Iowa, further fueling the perception of a disconnect with everyday people.

DeSantis also weirded out social media users in March after sources close to him toldThe Daily Beast he ate "a chocolate pudding dessert" with three fingers instead of a spoon.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
