His campaign’s statement prophesied that soon, “Ron is going to wish for more pudding and in-flight biohazard stories instead of having to deal with his shoes that are more appropriate for America’s Next Top Model than the campaign trail.” (DeSantis is not believed to have been involved, either directly or indirectly, in the September incident wherein a passenger’s explosive diarrhea forced a Delta flight to turn around.)
DeSantis had not, as of Tuesday, directly commented on the internet’s burgeoning obsession with his feet and what he puts on them. But in a furious response to Politico, his press secretary, Bryan Griffin, denied that the Florida governor gets up to any boot chicanery. “The governor doesn’t pad his boots, but if he ever needed anything to line a pet cage or fold up and wedge under a table leg, that would be the highest and best use for Politico Magazine,” Griffin spat, apparently unaware of the fact that Politico’s magazine does not run in print.
Whether or not DeSantis puts his boots on like a normal man, however, his remark to Bet-David that he wears run-of-the-mill Lucchese dealt “major brand damage to a great American footwear company,” according to the Trump campaign.
A spokesperson for Lucchese did not immediately respond to an email from The Daily Beast asking if they felt this was the case.
