A press release was issued, with the subject line “The Dishonest Media Refuses to Report the Facts”, blaming reporters for supposedly piling on the governor’s campaign and accusing him of referring to Trump supporters as “listless vessels”. “The dishonest media refuses to report the facts — Donald Trump and some congressional endorsers are ‘listless vessels’,” complained the governor’s press secretary. In case the parallels between Mr DeSantis’s comment and Hillary Clinton’s now-famous 2016 “basket of deplorables” comment weren’t apparent, Donald Trump Jr helpfully provided an image of Ms Clinton with the governor’s face photoshopped over hers. During the 2016 campaign, Ms Clinton infamously said half of Mr Trump’s supporters would fit into a “basket of deplorables”, prompting backlash from his fans.
