BOOM: Governor DeSantis just set Republican fundraising RECORD despite fake news reports to the contrary

by The Right Scoop

A Puck News reporter tweeted last Friday that she had ‘multiple sources’ telling her that New Hampshire’s GOP fundraising event that featured Governor DeSantis as the speaker was having trouble selling tickets:

Well that sounds terrible for DeSantis. She makes it sound like he’s not getting much support or something.

But it turns out that’s not true at all as Mark Halperin tweeted this morning:

Here’s more:

When likely GOP presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) walks on stage at the Amos Tuck dinner Friday night, he will be headlining the most successful state Republican Party fundraiser in history.

“Record-breaking fundraiser for the state party,” NHGOP Chairman Chris Ager told NHJournal Friday morning. “Largest fundraiser in the history of the NHGOP, raising more than a quarter of a million dollars. Ticket sales were halted earlier this week after we exceeded planned capacity.”

Some national media outlets had previously reported that the DeSantis event wasn’t generating excitement or ticket sales. A report from “Puck’s” Tara Palmeri said ticket sales for the event have been slow.

Palmeri wrote sources told her, “The New Hampshire GOP is still struggling to sell tickets, at every level up from entry-level tickets to $5,000 dinner sponsorships… With only one week to go, organizers are apparently underwhelmed by the interest in an event they’d hoped would sell out.”

Ager says the original target was 500 seats sold and ticket sales exceeded that number. And unlike some previous events where tickets were made available to some activist groups for free, these are $150 tickets — a financial boon for the historically cash-strapped state party organization.

The 100 VIP tickets, at $500 a pop, are a sell out as well.

“There’s high anticipation from our activist base to hear directly from the governor. And we were very pleased that he accepted our invitation,” Ager told the Washington Examiner.

Christina Pushaw says not to believe these garbage media reporters even when they have ‘multiple sources’:

RBPundit added “If @tarapalmeri had any pride in her work, she’d reveal the “multiple sources” who lied to her.”
