Donald Trump accused Ron DeSantis of buying the Iowa evangelical leader’s support. Turns out DeSantis’ allies gave him a lot more money.
Trump questioned whether DeSantis had committed “a major Campaign Finance Violation by paying for… Bob Vander Plaats’ useless endorsement.” He separately wrote: “I don’t believe anything Bob Vander Plaats says. Anyone who would take $95,000, and then endorse a Candidate who is going nowhere, is not what Elections are all about!”
For years, Vander Plaats has openly criticized Trump as morally unfit to hold office. “I’ve never endorsed him, but he proved he was not worthy of the endorsement,” he said in November. Vander Plaats continued: “If you believe that the system is being weaponized against Trump and many of us, then a DeSantis presidency is the former president’s — and our — best line of defense. A DeSantis presidency ensures justice for Trump.”
