The political opponents of Ron DeSantis must really be afraid of him. They will try any smear or lie to damage his reputation.
First, they tried calling DeSantis a fascist, but that “insult” is so saturated now that no one believes it, and as such, it didn’t work. So now, they are trying to attack his height and suspected use of lifts to make him appear taller. Rumors dominated social media that Florida’s governor has hidden heels, and it was brought up again on Monday during Patrick Bet-David’s PBD Podcast, the Washington Examiner reported.
When Bet-David showed DeSantis the image surrounding the controversy, DeSantis denied the allegations.
“No, no. Those are just standard, off-the-rack Lucchese boots,” DeSantis said in response. It’s a silly controversy and not really worth wasting time talking about, and it’s indicative of the lack of gravitas in our country.
In the last month alone, a congressman pulled a fire alarm to obstruct Congress, the speaker of the House was voted out and replaced, a terrorist group launched an attack against Israel, and there’s been a wave of antisemitism around the country, and people want to bring up boots and shoe lifts? The whole thing is sheer nonsense. The world is burning, and people are concerned about boots.
Whatever is in his boots, one thing is for sure: DeSantis’s boots are made for walking, talking, and getting the job done as a politician. Consider his accomplishments from just this week alone. While on the campaign trail, DeSantis was able to arrange to send weapons and supplies to Israel for its war against Hamas.

This is in addition to all of his other accomplishments as governor. From tackling the issue of critical race theory being taught in schools to his actions to stop students from being brainwashed with radical gender ideology, no matter what challenges his left-wing political opponents have thrown at him, DeSantis has stood tall against every one of them.
Whether DeSantis has lifts or not, it doesn’t matter. He is an effective, efficient, and competent leader, and that matters a lot more than his height. DeSantis walks the walk and talks the talk - wears his boots while doing each.
