Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was accused by the Cast of ‘The View’ of basically stealing from donors. Specifically, the cast falsely claimed that DeSantis was setting donors up for automatic withdrawals. I checked his site and The View blatantly lied. DeSantis slammed the liberal nut jobs and stood up for himself at a presser:
“You know, I got accused by some of these people on one of these shows about, “oh, he’s raising all this – people want to donate to him.” And they tried to say that like, we had auto-donate where it keeps going every month. We do not do that in my [campaign].
You donate. Fine. You can click a button to make it auto. We do not do that auto, because we don’t want people to have these charges if that’s not something they didn’t agree with.
So, they tried to act like I was doing that. And then some of these media went and said, “Wait a minute, he’s not doing that.” They were lying about that. We do not do that.
At the end of the day, you know, we have folks who – some people are on fixed income, very limited and they will donate a certain amount. And that’s very meaningful. You know, not everybody has the capacity to write these big [donations]. So, you see that. And so, we’re very good stewards. But we would never do automatic unless you personally as the contributor press that button.
And so, I think it’s very important, particularly as Republicans when you’re raising money amongst your own people, that you’re doing that in a way that has honesty.
And so, my name is being used to trick people into providing donations to something that they don’t necessarily want to do. That is definitely wrong.”
You can see the big lie for yourself below:
“For folks who aren’t familiar, what a lot of these apps and websites do is you click to give once, and it actually signs you up to recurrently give. It is so unfair. It is a grift. It is terrible,” Alyssa Farah asserted.
She was backed up by co-host Sunny Hostin who claimed, without evidence, “people are losing their homes” and “losing their savings” because of him.

"Who are these people giving money to these people?" Sunny Hostin exclaims, suggesting "people are losing their homes." pic.twitter.com/9hHv0gfPsc— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) July 15, 2022
So far, ABC nor ‘The View’ has published a correction and I am almost willing to bet that they never will. The truth doesn’t matter to them. The only thing that matters is what they can get the lemmings to believe and I am sure they just ate this one up.
