Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has proven he is a fascist. His attempt to camouflage his worrisome ideology by firing a so-called Nazi failed. Beyond “he’s fired,” the governor’s campaign refused to comment on Hochman’s dismissal.
According to several sources, they fired Nate Hochman over a controversial campaign video. The video spotlighted DeSantis’ white supremacy with neo-Nazi and Nazi imagery strategically placed throughout.
Lincoln Project Co-founder Rick Wilson said, “[The governor] is surrounded by a small cadre of very ambitious advisors. The chief of those advisors is Christina Pushaw.” Moreover, she comes from a very alt-right background and is the voice in the governor’s ear. It’s also likely Pushaw facilitated Hochman joining the team, and the governor knew the 25-year-old Hochman had ties to white nationalist virgin Nick Fuente, the notorious neo-Nazi activist.
Hochman Exposed the Real DeSantis
Former Republican strategist Tim Miller expressed alarm upon hearing Florida’s governor hired Hochman as his new speechwriter.
He wrote about the implications of hiring “the brash online ‘new right’ that is more animated by culture wars and MAGA politics than by free markets and free people.”
Wilson predicted that Hochman, a young MAGA whisperer, would further DeSantis’ white supremacist anti-democratic fascist ambition. His thinly veiled camouflage would be gone, and with that, the falsehood that the governor knows what he is doing.
Do not be fooled by Ron DeSantis. He is more dangerous than former President Donald Trump. They both want to reframe America to fit their ideal country, but Florida’s governor is educated. He served in the military and Congress. If doubts remain, look at the dystopian culture he created in his state.
