Florida Governor DeSantis releases a campaign ad mocking renowned, all-American movie

Florida Republican Governor.

Florida Republican Gov.

The 60-second “Top Gov” ad is a spin on “Top Gun” and opens with DeSantis dressed up as a fighter pilot giving a lesson on “dogfighting — taking on the corporate media.”

DeSantis then lists the “rules of engagement.”

“Number one, don’t fire unless fired upon, but when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force.” The ad then plays a clip from DeSantis pushing back against reporter Evan Donovan, who referred to HB 1557 as the legislation “critics call the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.”

“Does it say that in the bill?” DeSantis fires back, saying it doesn’t matter what critics say because the language is not actually in the bill.

Top Gov… Dogfighting… Taking on the Corporate Media…

Rules of Engagement are as Follows:

DeSantis is then shown telling a CNN reporter to ask a question rather than give a speech as the governor discusses the state’s vaccine rollout plan.

DeSantis is seen as the likely winner of the November race and sits on $128 million in re-election funds. In Tuesday’s primary for Democratic nomination, Charlie Crist and Nikki Fried will be facing off.

DeSantis has also been eyed as a possible 2024 contender, with polls showing him trailing former President Donald Trump in a potential matchup. A WDIV/Detroit News survey from July found 45.2% of respondents favored Trump while 41.6% favored DeSantis. College-educated voters supported the Florida governor more.
