Though Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn’t definitively stated whether he plans to run for president in 2024, speculation is running high that he intends to do just that. DeSantis himself said in recent comments that he’d make a decision after the current legislative session was over (which would be in May).
Nevertheless, thoughts of DeSantis throwing his hat into the ring and being a viable contender to challenge President Joe Biden have been giving his critics on the left and NeverTrump lala land cases of the vapors for months now, so much so that some of them have been reduced to criticizing the fact that he wears cowboy boots sometimes, allegedly because he wants to look taller.
“[H]is heels look rather high. is he embarassed [sic] about his height?” wondered Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin in late February in one of many obnoxious tweets the self-styled truuuue conservative has written about DeSantis.
Rubin’s petty swipe followed a similar line used by Soros-funded American Bridge president Pat Dennis, who in February proclaimed without evidence that DeSantis “consistently wears high-heeled boots in order to appear taller.”
The latest entrants into the weird obsession over DeSantis’ footwear is the Washington Post’s Philip Bump and Lincoln Project grifter Rick Wilson, the latter of who is busy conserving conservatism and stuff by lining his pockets with money from mega-wealthy Democrats who pay him and his sellout colleagues to try dragging Republican candidates through the mud because “muh principles” or something:
The reaction to any comment on Tiny D Desantis and his kicky drag boots certainly triggers the Ronhadis.

Unfortunately for Wilson, his digital footprint came back to bite him in the you-know-where … again:

Gosh, I mean it even looks like Wilson is standing on tiptoes to make himself seem taller than he actually is.
Also, notice fellow Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Schimidt’s boots in the same picture (not to mention the cowboy hat). Strangely, Wilson’s had nothing snarky to say about that.
Wilson’s own history of “heel-wearing” wasn’t the only thing about his controversial past that was brought to his attention. The Confederate coolers he was dragged over not long after Lincoln Project cut an ad in 2020 likening former President Donald Trump to a Confederate sympathizer got pulled back into the mix as well:

As I’ve noted before, Ron DeSantis must be doing a lot right if this the best his rabid haters on the left and pseudo “conservatives” like Rubin and Wilson can came up with.
Grifters, as they say, are gonna grift, and if there’s one thing Wilson has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt is that he’s the undisputed king of grift. Unfortunately for him, though, no matter how high of a heel he has on his shoes, in political circles – including the ones in which he currently resides – Wilson will always be a very shallow and small little man.
