Casey DeSantis Backtracks After Telling Supporters To Go To Iowa To Illegally Vote In Caucus

The wife of GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis issued an apology for encouraging non-Iowan supporters to commit voter fraud by voting in the Iowa caucus after being fact-checked.

Casey DeSantis, the wife of far-right Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, is under fire after urging her husband's supporters to commit voter fraud.

After DeSantis encouraged voters to visit the state of Iowa and "be a part of the caucus" held there, one of the most important, and usually the first, contests of each presidential primary season. It is, of course, a federal crime to vote in a state in which you do not live.


DeSantis' comments came during an interview on Fox News in which even host Martha MacCallum couldn't conceal her bemused look of "ma'am, what on Earth are you doing?"

Casey DeSantis told McCallum:

“We're asking all these moms and grandmoms to come, from wherever it might be — North Carolina, South Carolina — and to descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus."

That is so wildly untrue it is preposterous. So much so, in fact, that the main criticism of DeSantis' profoundly...let's go with misguided comments...has come from none other than former Republican President Donald Trump, of all people.

Trump's campaign issued a statement condemning DeSantis, reading:

“The Trump campaign strongly condemns their dirty and illegal tactics and implores all Trump supporters to be aware of the DeSantises’ openly stated plot to rig the Caucus through fraud."

Honestly, he should feel flattered, the DeSantises learned everything they know about brazen election lies from Trump himself. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all.

Anyway, DeSantis has since walked back her comments on X, fka Twitter, calling for grandmas—er, sorry, grandmamas, a word literally no one uses but her—supporting Ron DeSantis by coming to Iowa to "volunteer."

Okay then, Casey. Naturally, DeSantis' comments haven't gone over very well on social media among anyone with a basic knowledge of civics.












The Iowa Caucus is January 15, 2024. Ron DeSantis is expected to lose badly to Donald Trump, even in spite of all the...{checks notes}...grandmamas for Ronny. Happy holidays!

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

She and her older sister, Malia, now 26, spent their formative years in the presidential residence, growing up there throughout their father’s two terms, until the family departed in 2017.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
