The billion-dollar DeVos network is rallying around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis heading into the 2024 presidential race as various tentacles of the globalist establishment declare DeSantis to be their man.
A new dark money front group, And to the Republic, has been founded by DeVos operative Tori Sachs and has already hosted events across the country promoting DeSantis in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. An operative close to the organization told POLITICO that they were “proud to help host the events…featuring Governor Ron DeSantis that put a spotlight on those state policies that are working and those that are clearly not working.”
Sachs previously worked for prominent DeVos front groups operating within their home base of Michigan, such as the Michigan Freedom Fund and Michigan Rising Action. These fronts have served to incubate the anti-Trump movement within the state’s Republican Party, sowing dissent and discord among the grassroots, and adding to the fractured nature of the Party that resulted in drastic losses during the 2022 midterm elections.
DeVos lackey Tony Daunt, who was Sachs’ successor at Michigan Freedom Fund, resigned from the Republican Party with a crybaby letter in April 2022 where he whined about “feckless, cowardly party ‘leaders’ have made the election here in Michigan a test of who is the most cravenly loyal to Donald Trump and re-litigating the results of the 2020 cycle.”
Calling Trump a “deranged narcissist,” Daunt stated the following: “Incredibly, rather than distancing themselves from this undisciplined loser, far too many Republican ‘leaders’ have decided that encouraging his delusional lies — and, even worse — cynically appeasing him despite knowing they are lies, is the easiest path to ensuring their continued hold on power, general election consequences be damned.”
“Rather than assembling the courage to do the right thing, at the right time, and guide the activist base towards the truth, they’ve repeatedly backed down and dissembled, hoping that just one more act of cowardice will be what does the trick,” he added.
The DeVos network has been behind the sabotage of the America First movement in Michigan, insiders claim, after the DeVos network heavily pressured their preferred candidate for governor, Tudor Dixon, to receive Trump’s endorsement last year.
Former Trump Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who turned her back on Trump and resigned from her cabinet position after Jan. 6, sent a hand-written solicitation to Trump last year in order to persuade him to endorse Tudor Dixon.
“I hear that some have implied that my family and I are working against you in Michigan. That is fake news. Those telling you that are doing so for their own personal gain,” DeVos told Trump.
“To make sure that we beat Gretchen Whitmer – America’s worst governor – in November, the best thing we can do is work together to elect Tudor Dixon. She’s committed to the same principles you are and she’s the only one who can stand toe to toe with ‘that woman from Michigan,'” she added.
A letter co-signed by lawmakers and candidates endorsed by the Michigan Trump Republicans urged Trump not to trust Betsy DeVos and assured him that a devious plot was in the works.
“There is a war going on for the soul of the GOP in Michigan with Trump-endorsed candidates on one side and the establishment DeVos family on the other,” the letter stated.
“We strongly urge President Trump not to work with Betsy DeVos in Michigan,” the letter concluded.
Ultimately, the concerns of the pro-Trump grassroots would prove to be correct. Trump would go on to endorse Tudor Dixon, who would be immediately and predictably sabotaged in her general election campaign. The DeVos network and its billions of dollars mysteriously dried up after Dixon won the nomination, and the Republican candidate was severely underfunded against Whitmer. Despite her best efforts, Dixon would go on to lose against Whitmer in November along with other Trump-backed contenders at the top of the ticket. In the aftermath, the results were cast as a loss for Trump and the America First movement when it was anything but.
Insiders in the Michigan State Capitol believe that the DeVos influence is far more dangerous to the cause of America First than anything coming from the Democrats, and the DeVos’ sphere is happy to take Republican losses in order to gain control over the Michigan Republican Party moving forward.
“Last month, the DeVos’s recruited the Michigan RINO House Minority Leader Bryan Posthumus to send a letter begging DeSantis to stop Trumpism and return to the status quo,” the insider told Big League Politics. The letter, signed by Posthumus and a gang of anonymous RINO lawmakers, told DeSantis that they “stand ready and willing to help you win Michigan in 2024.”
“It is disgusting how the DeVos family works against the MAGA movement in the Republican Party of Michigan. Every day their network is in the Michigan House and Senate office buildings lobbying for Republicans to disavow Trump and try to prevent him from becoming President again in 2024,” the insider added.
The DeVos network coalescing behind DeSantis is even more evidence that he is the establishment trojan horse sent to dupe conservatives, upend MAGA, and put an end to the America First movement.
