Holy Hell: On 8th Day 'God Made' Ron DeSantis, Says New Campaign Ad
Florida’s GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis released his latest campaign ad Friday, and it’s out of this world.
After creating light, the sun, the moon, stars, Earth, plants, animals and normal humans, God made “fighter” DeSantis, according to the eye-popping campaign pitch.
“On the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a protector,’” intoned a God-like voice on the black-and-white video.
The video was a knockoff of an emotional 2013 Superbowl commercial about how God had decided to make “a farmer,” narrated by radio broadcaster Paul Harvey and based on a speech he made in 1978 speech.
The DeSantis copy was posted on Twitter by the governor’s wife, Casey, who added: “I love you, Ron.”
I love you, Ron.

The responses to Casey DeSantis’ tweet included few “amens.” But others called the ad “sacrilegious” for elevating the existence of a single human to the creation of the moon and the stars.
And some Twitter users noted that DeSantis, who mocked LGBTQ people in a recent campaign mailer, in no way follows Christ’s teaching to “love your neighbor as yourself” — particularly when it comes to the LGBTQ community in the neighborhood.
DeSantis is running for reelection against Democrat Charlie Crist.
The guy who banned saying "gay" is NOT fighting for your freedom.

This is illiberal, anti-democratic, anti-American, christofascist propaganda. Holy hell.
