Twitter users teed off on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for his latest fundraising merchandise ― a set of golf balls that boast about his, er, balls.
DeSantis’ campaign showcased the $19.95 set in a video shared on Twitter, along with some predictable schoolyard wisecracks.
The balls themselves are emblazoned with the extremist Republican’s name.
The packaging states that “Florida’s Governor Has A Pair” and encourages people to “Hold The Line,” presumably in undermining President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine guidelines, which DeSantis vociferously opposes.
A DeSantis campaign email promoting the balls touts them as “standing firm and setting an example for the rest of the nation in defending freedom as it comes under assault has become par for the course with Governor DeSantis,” reported FloridaPolitics.com.
DeSantis, a Trump acolyte who has risen as a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate, has been widely panned for opposing public health measures to control the pandemic. He’s campaigned against mask mandates and sought to fine local governments that mandate vaccines for staff.
Critics scoffed at the golf ball stunt:
