DeSantis To UK Paper: Britain Is “Like A Second Home”

April 30, 2023 Britain, Republicans

“If you are an American and you really believe and appreciate America’s core values, it doesn’t matter your ethnicity, when you come here it’s like a second home. Our founding fathers, when they launched the revolution, were not revolting against the British way of life.

“They were revolting because they wanted the rights of Englishmen. That’s what they believed. The architecture and the infrastructure they built in America to preserve a free society really flowed out of their understanding of the best of British society and politics. You see that in everything that we do.

“Because of the shared values, I feel like this is home. I feel almost like I’m in an American city because we have such a commonality of culture.” – Ron DeSantis, in an interview published today by the London Telegraph.

Florida Politics lays on the snark:



This is the latest attempt by DeSantis, born and raised in Florida, to connect to places where he happened to be speaking. At the Utah Republican Convention last Saturday, the Florida Governor contended that his state is the “Utah of the Southeast.”

Continuing the theme, DeSantis told an Ohio crowd he was one of them. The Governor, addressing the Butler County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner, said that he represented so-called “Ohio values.”

In the Granite State addressing the New Hampshire GOP at the Amos Tuck Dinner, the Governor suggested Floridians were not proud of the state before he arrived on the political scene. “But I must admit we draw inspiration from the people here in New Hampshire,” DeSantis continued.
