An inadvertent glimpse of what Gov. DeSantis is really like when a secret tape is running

But last week he inadvertently gave us a glimpse of what he’s really like.

His views were secretly shared with the leaders of the state’s business community at a closed-door Orlando gathering staged by Associated Industries of Florida. Someone in attendance taped his remarks and Politico reporter Gary Fineout has enlightened us with the contents of the tape.

Unfortunately the governor of Florida says he is supporting a fight to overturn legitimate election returns in a number of states that helped defeat Trump.

DeSantis urged Trump to keep fighting despite the fact that judges in state after state have rejected multiple lawsuits filed by Trump’s clownish legal team. They’ve forced recount after recount in several states, only to prolong the drama and add to President-elect Joe Biden’s vote totals.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Lucy Morgan was chief of the St. Petersburg (Tampa Bay) Times capital bureau in Tallahassee for 20 years, retiring in 2006 and serving as senior correspondent until 2013. She was inducted into the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame and the Florida Newspaper Hall of Fame. The Florida Senate named its press gallery after Morgan, in honor of her two decades covering the Legislature.

You never hear of them contradicting their public stances in meetings with labor, or citizen's groups, or town halls, or government employees.

It's always when they are meeting with business leaders that they let their guard down and say what they really mean.
