'Really embarrassing to be Ron DeSantis' right now as Trump dangles job: MSNBC guest

According to a guest on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is suffering another round of humiliation as Donald Trump's team dangles his name as a possible replacement to be secretary of defense if they can't get his embattled nominee, Pete Hegseth, across the finish line.

With the former Fox News personality scrambling to round up the support of GOP senators who are troubled by allegations of public drunkenness and accusations of sexual assault, Brandon Wolf of the Human Rights Campaign claimed it must get under the Florida governor's skin after he thought he would be the GOP presidential nominee instead of the man he now considering offering him a job in his administration.

Speaking with MSNBC co-hosts Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele, Wolf began by stating, "I just have to start by saying it's got to be really embarrassing to be Ron DeSantis in this moment because he's gone from believing he would be the next president of the United States and chastising people in his own party for kissing the ring of Donald Trump to playing understudy to the Fox News host who may not get the job because he has a drinking problem."

"So, set that aside, the embarrassment that it is to be Ron DeSantis, I think what people should understand is that Donald Trump really values certain qualities in people like Ron DeSantis and [attorney general nominee] Pam Bondi," he continued. "The first one is that they are also shamelessly self-obsessed, that they are desperate for power at every single turn and will do anything to get it."

"You talked about it," he added. "Remember, he trafficked immigrants into empty parking lots to use them as campaign fodder. He used government agencies against businesses, small and large, who disagreed with the policies he was putting forward. He has built a political career on terrorizing marginalized people, not because he wants to make life better for people, but because he's looking to amass and hold onto power."
