On Thursday, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gave a speech discussing how Republicans need to get rid of the “culture of losing” that the party has developed in recent years.
DeSantis made his comments while appearing at the Midland County Republican Party’s annual Dave Camp Spring Breakfast at the Great Hall Banquet Center in Michigan.
“In this endeavor, there is no substitute for victory,” DeSantis said. “And what I see around the country with Republicans is they’ve started to develop a culture of losing.”
He pointed to the recent news that a leftist won an important seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the 2022 midterms elections as examples of Republicans failing to deliver in elections.
“In Florida, we have a culture of winning, we have a culture of execution, and we have a culture of delivering results,” DeSantis said. “And you need to be able to win. It’s not easy. When you stand for the right things in this day and age, man, you are going to have a lot of blowback. Leadership isn’t cost free.”
“You got to have the courage of your convictions,” he added. “And you got to understand that whether it’s a governor, whether it’s a mother going into a school board meeting to protest some of the insanity, they’re gonna come at you, and you’re gonna have to make some sacrifices. But you know, I think it’s worth making those sacrifices, lord knows people have made much bigger sacrifices in the history of our country so that we could be free.”
