Fox News contributor Leo Terrell told DeSantis supporters via X that if former President Trump lands the nomination for the presidency in 2024, they are not welcome back into the fold to vote for him.
“Those of you who betrayed President Trump and supported @RonDeSantis: You are not welcome BACK! #Trump2024NowMorethanEver #GodBlessPresidentTrump,” Terrell wrote on X.
Twitchy’s PolitiBunny pointed out the insanity of that statement and that if Trump does get the nod we’ll need every vote we can get to reelect him. Taking a stand against DeSantis voters would almost certainly guarantee the Democrats get elected in 2024.
“What are you doing? If Trump wins the nod we’re going to need EVERY VOTE we can get, especially people who supported DeSantis and who vote Republican. You know that, yes? And no amount of hashtags can change that,” she told Terrell.

Most Republicans are determined to vote for whoever gets the nomination to stop President Biden and the Democrats from securing a second term. But anyone with a do-or-die attitude under one candidate will only make it more likely the GOP will lose and the fate of the nation will be sealed.
People sounded off on Terrell’s declaration and it was heated. Many slammed him for making such a declaration in such dire times for conservatives.
That did not deter Terrell. He doubled down on his premise.
“You don’t get it RINOS: We love President Trump. Moreover we are loyal! #Trump2024TheOnlyChoice,” he posted to X an hour after his initial post.

He also proclaimed, “.#MAGA will replace the Republican Party! #Trump2024TheOnlyChoice”

Terrell was scorched on X for dividing Republicans when we can least afford it:
I’ve been a Republican for 46 years and now you want to talk smack about me and call me a RINO because I support the most conservative and accomplished governor in the country? Pound sand.

Leo – Delete this.

I’ve been a Republican for a hell of a lot longer than you Leo. As a teenager, I worked on the Reagan campaign as a local volunteer.
You’ve been in the party for 15 minutes—and we accepted you graciously. Try to show a little appreciation.

Ummmmm. It’s not betrayal to prefer one candidate over another.

This seems like not the best strategy. Share your vision for the future, and invite voters from both sides of the aisle. Keeping conservatives divided only helps the commies.

Show me the math on how you get to 82,000,000 votes without DeSantis supporters.

You know, I go back and forth on whether I’d vote for Trump if he is the nominee. Since you don’t want my vote I’m happy to oblige. BTW, it’s a two way street. Don’t think you can beg us to come back when you wake up and realize you need our votes. Bridge burnt.
— carolyn tackett (@CarolsCloset) September 5, 2023
Very foolish statement. Or, are you trying to lose the 2024 election?
We’re gonna need everybody to back whoever becomes the eventual nominee. So far, that’s overwhelmingly Trump.
Stop alienating votes for no good reason.

Leo, unfortunately for you, many of us were always conservatives + Republicans.
We didn’t have to “switch sides” like you.
Perhaps that’s why you’re confused as to how on earth so many voters would support DeSantis!
He’s a bona fide America First, Parents First, Constitution…

Oh, come on, Leo!
We cant be that way and have a party that will survive.
Dissent is a valuable thing to tolerate as it allows for multiple perspectives.
Peace, brother.— Richard Cheek (@RichardCheek19) September 5, 2023
