Charles Boyer ‘Gaslight Award’ goes to …Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis brought his ‘Gaslight American Society’ (GAS) Tour to Elmhurst, IL Monday. Using his best imitation Charles Boyer French accent, he addressed the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, telling them that everyone in Illinois is crazy, except, of course, the Boys and Girls in Blue, along with Governor DeSantis.

Nothing DeSantis seductively told the cheering crowd of 200 registered on the truth meter. But the gas meter needle shot into the crazy zone upon every utterance.

Without a shred of evidence DeSantis said Illinois pols are defunding the police and encouraging crime. His charged that crime is “massively up” in Chicago when murders and aggravated assaults declined in 2022. DeSantis compared Chicago to Florida, which he claimed, has a 50 year low. Tell that to the folks in Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando where murders have increased.

Former Illinois House member Rodney Davis joined Governor Ron’s Gaslight American Society Tour, charging Illinois does not appreciate its police officers, while Florida is a place “where they work can be appreciated.”

DeSantis wrapped up gaslighting talk wondering why Illinoisans keep electing the “craziest candidate in the Primary.”

Outside the Elmhurst Knights of Columbus, the boys in the white coats gathered to scoop up all those crazy Illinoisans who thought they were perfectly sane.

If they ever remake the 1943 flick ‘Gaslight’, Ron DeSantis is top pic to reprise Charles Boyer’s creepy gaslighter. No young beauty can replace Ingrid Bergman as the unfortunate nearly driven mad. That role is reserved for Lady Liberty.
