Fox News host Mark Levin was pummeled by supporters of former President Donald J. Trump after he posted a link to a fundraising page for Ron DeSantis shortly after the Florida governor made it official that he had joined the race for the White House on Wednesday.
On a night when DeSantis’ big announcement was plagued by a series of inexplicable technical problems with Twitter where he went directly to the people, drawing mockery from Trump loyalists, President Joe Biden, Democrats, and other media leftists who all portrayed the brief glitches as an unmitigated disaster, the rising GOP rock star did manage to get his message out and got an immediate boost in donations to his campaign.
The host of “Life, Liberty & Levin” drew a savage reaction from MAGA Twitter when, shortly after the Twitter Spaces event ended, he sent out the link to the candidate’s WinRed donations page to his 3.5 million followers.

Levin’s helping hand to DeSantis was viewed as tantamount to treason by Trump’s diehard followers who view the Sunshine State Republican as a mortal enemy, and they unloaded on the bestselling author and talk show host.
Too bad. Mark has gone to the Dark Side!

Keep in mind, Levin takes his marching orders from the same people who fired @TuckerCarlson.
ZERO credibility.

You literally said after your interview with Trump that EVERYONE needs to rally behind him. What happened??? I’m so sick of everyone flip flopping. I don’t trust anyone at this point. Except for Trump!!

When our president is under attack from all sides, even the great one doesn’t stand with him. Mark as a loyal listener for over ten years frankly I am astounded. Then again you signed a juicy contract with Fox News so you gotta keep those execs happy.

The Great NOT so great Levin supports DeSantis? Trump would not keep licking your boots, so you ditched him?

Didn’t you say a few weeks ago to vote Trump? Or did your account get hacked.

What a joke, FOX has your old ass by the balls, will never listen to you again, what a slimy POS traitor you are Levin!

Wow… independent media was correct! It’s pancake season. Republican on one side – flipped over to Rino in an instant.
Damn!— patriotmolenys (@patriotmolenys1) May 25, 2023
Sold out Mark too damn!
— Carlos (@acarlitos27) May 25, 2023
Not you Mark. Please tell me your Twitter was hacked…
This would be a great disappointment.
Just when I thought you were one of the few we could trust.Did you ever consider what would happen if Ron left the battleground state governorship, open for a democrat to take?

At least we know who’s side you are on now. You went from “somewhere in a hidden bunker” to shilling for the RINO’s.

Now we know that Mark Levin is a FOX Stooge like Hannity! BOTH back stabbing Trump!

This is a big disappointment.

Earlier on Wednesday, before the Twitter Spaces campaign rollout, Levin hosted DeSantis on his nationally syndicated radio show which isn’t carried by Fox News.
