Yet Another Top DeSantis PAC Official Hits The Exit

Politico reports:

Jeff Roe, a top strategist for the main super PAC supporting Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign, announced his resignation from the group late Saturday — the latest in a string of departures from the organization.

The pro-DeSantis group, Never Back Down, has been enveloped in turmoil in recent weeks. Two weeks ago, it fired three of its top officials, including the super PAC’s chief executive officer. The board chairman, former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, also left, as did the organization’s president, Chris Jankowski.

Roe’s departure followed the publishing of an article in The Washington Post on Saturday about backbiting within the PAC. DeSantis has been heavily leaning on Never Back Down to oversee his campaign’s functions, including its field deployment.

Call me crazy but maybe Jeff Roe and Ron DeSantis should have named their door knock training operation after a general who was successful, not a confederate loser.
