'Sabotage': DeSantis team blasts texts across state criticizing Republicans [View all]

The feud between the governor and Florida Republicans is intensifying.

Florida House members had an interesting Wednesday thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Around noon Eastern time, constituents of Republican lawmakers around the state started getting a text message.

“It’s Gov. DeSantis. Florida House leaders are working with Democrats to stop our agenda and sabotage Florida’s success,” it read. “Call your State Rep ... and tell them to stand with the people and me to keep Florida free!”

Florida House members were deluged with calls, three elected officials told the Times/Herald.

The texts came from Restore Our Nation (RON) PAC, a DeSantis-associated committee that is dedicated to supporting “energetic, conservative leadership that delivers on its word,” according to its fundraising webpage.
