Center-right media personality and Ron DeSantis cheerleader Erick Erickson took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to admit the existence of “ongoing threads of frustration” about the Florida governor’s campaign in a “number of group chats and email lists,” of which he is a member.
The tweet also appears to confirm the existence of pro-DeSantis group chats amongst media personalities and political types, though no further details about membership of said groups was offered.
“I’m on a number of group chats, email lists, etc., and all of them are dealing with ongoing threads of frustration about the DeSantis campaign,” Erickson, an early “NeverTrumper” from 2016 wrote.
“The perception is settling in that something needs to happen, but everyone has a different opinion on what to do,” he concluded.
The news follows months of National Pulse reporting on the calamitous nature of the DeSantis campaign, connected with its hodge-podge of advisors who believe in amnesty, are embroiled in active lawsuits against their campaign work, and whose own family members have publicly rebuked their political decisions.
Erickson has been one of the few people Ron DeSantis has interviewed with, and has used his column inches and air time to promote the Florida governor’s presidential campaign repeatedly.
UPDATE: Jenna Ellis, another DeSantis booster, has confirmed the claims and thrown shade at Never Back Down PAC spokesman Steve Cortes for admitting the campaign is behind.
