And by “great” we mean probably downright terribly, judging by a moment captured in a Washington Post report about what Never Back Down are getting for their money with these paid canvassers:
“With his foot on a front porch of a stately home in Charleston, SC, a canvasser for a $100 million field effort supporting Florida Gov Ron DeSantis (R) vented on July 7 about a homeowner who he said had told him to get off his lawn. Speaking on his phone while wearing a T-shirt with ‘DESANTIS’ in big font and a lanyard representing the Never Back Down super PAC, he used lewd remarks to describe what he would tell the homeowner to do to him. ‘And I’m a little stoned, so I don’t even care,’ he added, holding materials and appearing to wait for another homeowner to come to the door. The outburst – seen on a Ring doorbell video camera recording that was shared with The Washington Post – led to the canvasser’s dismissal this week, according to an official from Never Back Down,” the Post writes in their account of the incident leading into a long dive into the overall sorry state of the DeSantis PAC’s field operations in the early primary states.
It’s pretty entertaining. Not as entertaining as that time that one asshole in Nevada was caught gambling in a casino when they were supposed to be knocking on doors for Republican Adam Laxalt’s failed Senate campaign, but close. Might’ve been better if the Post had elaborated maybe a just little more on the “lewd remarks” about the other homeowner uninterested in DeSantis.
