Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is having a bad day. DeSantis went from being a very popular Republican Governor, with many thinking he could be the likely candidate to defeat Donald Trump, to being heckled onstage during a rally stop at a tumultuous time in his campaign.
A woman can be heard heckling DeSantis while he keeps yelling, "Stop it! Stop it!" and saying something about Dr. Anthony Fauci, our country's top infectious disease expert. "Excuse me, I'm not finished, I'm doing my thing."
This comes after revelations that Jeff Roe, the top adviser to Never Back Down, became the latest senior staffer to abandon Never Back Down. Roe has left behind dwindling support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for the GOP nomination. And, of course, Donald Trump took a victory lap because of Roe's exit.
It appears that Roe did well financially from his ties to DeSantis. Roe announced his exit on X.
I can’t believe it ended this way. I'm so proud to have worked alongside these men and women at NBD 24/7 the past nine months to save the country. Good luck the next 28 days and a wake up. I'm so sorry I can't be there with you. pic.twitter.com/Rh4oQQ1tAE

It sounds like Roe is the hero that DeSantis deserved.
Given the news Jeff Roe has left the Ron DeSantis "Never Back Down" super PAC, here's from my Pay Dirt newsletter a couple weeks back showing that Roe's firms got 2 of every 3 dollars the super PAC has reported spending—$41.1 million, with millions more yet to be reported pic.twitter.com/Supzpo75jC

I'm sure more news will come out about the finances regarding Roe. Meanwhile, stick a fork in Meatball Ron. He's done.
Poor Ronny Desantis. His PAC Chair fleeced him of his campaign money then split, and now this woman is heckling him in Iowa today and I think he might cry. pic.twitter.com/hBQWf4ORn9
