The Truth About Pro-DeSantis SuperPAC "Never Back Down"
NOTE: PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINKS IN BLUE FOR RECEIPTS
The Pro-DeSantis SuperPAC “Never Back Down” displayed the ultimate in hypocrisy when they ran an ad admonishing Trump for going after DeSantis in their ad that began running today. The ad is "Fight Democrats, Not Republicans”. Trump is right in going after DeSantis and calling him out. We are in a war and you hit your opponent hard. You don’t wait for them to hit you.
When DeSantis came to Smyrna, GA on his campaign stop aka book tour, Never Back Down was there advocating for DeSantis for President. They got folks to write positive statements about Gov. DeSantis. Unfortunately, Never Back Down never told folks they would use them as endorsements of DeSantis. They sent out Tweets announcing endorsements. One was from Georgia GOP 1st Vice-Chair B.J. Van Gundy. B.J. reached out to me and said he was never told his statement would be considered an endorsement because as 1st Vice-Chair, he was prohibited from endorsing and had to remain neutral until the nominee was chosen. I called them out for what they did. Here is the statement B.J. sent them, "I'm looking forward to Governor DeSantis joining the fray. He has many unique and powerful ideas that need to be part of the discussion around our Party's next nominee."
The old “Cruz Crew” are running the “Never Back Down” SuperPAC. The same folks that thoroughly trashed Trump in 2016 and even attempted to steal the GOP Nomination from Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention. I was on the front lines trying to stop them. You see the so-called “movement conservatives” didn’t like Trump at all because he didn’t tow the “conservative” line at that time. Trump went after Wall Street, illegal immigration, he opposed the TPP Trade agreement, and supported trade that was in the best interests of the American people - not corporations. They all consolidated support behind Ted Cruz because he was the last candidate standing that had a chance to stop Trump.
Ted Cruz and his team deployed despicable tactics to try to stop Trump.
Ted Cruz’s 2016 Campaign Crew Is Backing DeSantis Over Trump
Excerpts: “As Donald Trump prepared to take the stage to accept the Republican nomination at the 2016 Republican National Convention, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s team fought until the bitter end to block him.
Now, many of those same people are gearing up for another attempt at stopping the former president from winning the White House.
Jeff Roe, Cruz’s 2016 campaign manager and one of the GOP’s savviest operators, has signed on to run Never Back Down, a super PAC created to back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ bid to defeat Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination.
And he’s brought on many top Cruz alumni. The Never Back Down team includes David Polyansky, Cruz’s 2016 Iowa caucus guru and former chief of staff; Chris Wilson, a top Cruz pollster, will run polling and analytics for the group, which was founded by former Virginia Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who was a top Cruz surrogate in 2016.
Facing impossible odds, a group of anti-Trump Republicans composed mostly of Cruz backers nonetheless tried to block Trump’s nomination on the floor of 2016 Republican National Convention that summer.
2016 was a hard fought battle that divided the tea party movement and conservatives. I wrote two articles for Breitbart on why I supported Donald Trump and why I believed electing Trump was a “Once in a Lifetime Opportunity to Drain the Swamp”.
I had a front row seat to the dirty tricks that were used by Ken Cuccinelli and Jeff Roe to steal the GOP Nomination from Trump.
Sen. Ted Cruz has not made an endorsement yet in 2024. I have to wonder if Cruz is sitting back and if the DeSantis campaign implodes, he will step in and decide to run against Trump. He never got over his loss to Trump in 2016. So many of his longtime allies are trashing Trump and supporting DeSantis. His top folks are running “Never Back Down” SuperPAC. Would not be that difficult to slide in and run . Trump would trounce him again.
I am highlighting many of the folks working for “Never Back Down” and giving information on them. My opinion is that these folks are grifters that go where the money is. They are like locusts that go from place to place consuming resources, except they are consuming money.
Ken Cuccinelli - Cuccinelli thoroughly trashed Trump in 2016. Cuccinelli caused a disruption on the 2016 RNC Convention Floor when he tried to change the rules that would allow delegates to be unbound so they could vote who they wanted and not who won the state and districts the delegates represented. Cuccinelli is an elitist that begged Trump for a job in his administration. Trump relented after a time and gave him a position in his administration, then stabbed Trump in the back when someone waved at him. He is the lowest of the low..
Jeff Roe - Roe is a dirty trickster and is unscrupulous as they go. His company is Axiom Strategies and you can bet the candidates he supports are just as sleezy as he is. The night before the Iowa Caucus in 2016, Roe spread the false rumor that Ben Carson was dropping out.
Behind Ted Cruz’s Campaign Manager, Scorched Earth and Election Victories
Excerpt: But back home, Mr. Roe’s allies and opponents alike have seen a familiar imprint in the Cruz campaign’s recent exploits, which have included a Photoshopped image of Mr. Rubio and the misleading suggestion, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, that Ben Carson was leaving the race.
Carson was so upset, that he dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.
Roe planned the attempt to steal delegates and the nomination from Trump. I know folks in Georgia that supported Cruz and they told me it was Roe’s strategy.
He recently worked for Glenn Youngkin’s campaign.
Reliable sources, with Judge Roy Moore’s 2017 Alabama Senate Campaign, tell me that Roe had agreed to work for Moore’s campaign. Moore was challenging Luther Strange that had been temporarily appointed to fill Jeff Sessions seat until an election could be held. McConnell was backing Strange. The sources told me that the night before Moore was going to announce Roe abruptly quit and left Moore hanging. Suspicions were Strange or McConnell paid Roe off in some way.
Jeff Roe is currently being sued for fraud in a ballot initiative he ran in Nevada.

Matt Wolking - Wolking worked for the 2020 Trump Campaign and also for Glenn Youngkin’s campaign.. He has a long history for working for RINOs, including Never Trumpers like Sen. Bill Cassidy and then Speaker John Boehner.
Wolking trashed Donald Trump for not acknowledging the death of Officer Sicknick on January 6, 2021 . It was later discovered that Sicknick had died of natural causes.
Erin Perrrine - Perrine previously worked for the 2020 Trump Campaign and just recently she worked for Sen. Ted Cruz. She is using her prior job with Trump to trash him while she is working for “Never Back Down”. She is just as despicable as the others that work for the SuperPAC.
MAGA needs to blacklist any campaign these folks work for and not support them.
