NEAL AND BERUFF AND CRONIES HOSTED FUNDRAISER FOR DEAD IN THE WATER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DeSANTIS
DeSANTIS BREAKS BREAD WITH THOSE TURNING FLORIDA INTO A PARKING LOT
NEAL AND BERUFF AND CRONIES PUT THEIR HOOKS INTO DeSANTIS FOR WHEN HE RETURNS AS A LAMEDUCK FLORIDA GOVERNOR
Last night “Pay to Play” developers Pat Neal, Carlos Beruff and cronies put together a fund raiser for the dead in the water presidential candidate, Ron DeSantis.
Neal and his local "Pay to Play" developers have made made $millions, as folks have flocked to Florida since DeSantis has become Governor. In return, DeSantis has been tapping real estate donors and attracting money from the industry.
Of his contributions, more than $6.5 million came from the real estate industry. Neal in a recent POLITICO article stated “The biggest reason I can think of is that we are all making a lot of money."
It would have been advantageous if DeSantis became President to Neal and his cronies, but that ship has set sail. Nevertheless, DeSantis will be a lame duck Governor for over two years, so they continue to put their hooks into DeSantis with continued fundraisers.
The fundraiser was held the day before Casey DeSantis (Ron’s wife) was awarded the Stateswoman of The Year award, which is less than a year before Ron DeSantis received the Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (REC) Statesman of the Year award from the former Jimmy Carter Democrat Florida State Senator, Neal.

CASEY DeSANTIS BREAKS BREAD WITH NEVER TRUMP RINO NEAL'S ESTABLISHMENT CONTROLED REC
THE LOCAL REC ESTABLISHMENT LEADERSHIP HAVING LUNCH AT THE GOVERNOR'S MANSION
As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled the country seeking the Presidency of the United States his No. 1 political operative, Casey DeSantis on 6/23/23 opened up the Governor’s Mansion for a luncheon with the establishment leadership of the RINO Sarasota County Republican Executive Committee (REC), and not one member of the conservative grassroots America First activists at the table.
Neal
Neal is a former Democrat Florida State Senator, who served for 12 years before being defeated by a Ronald Reagan Republican Florida State Senator in 1986. Since then, Neal has become an establishment RINO Republican backing Republicans such as Charlie Crist, Bill McCullum and Jeb Bush. Neal was also a major financial supporter of Adam Putnam when he ran against DeSantis for Governor in 2018.
NEAL'S TROUBLESOME REMARKS CONCERNING TRUMP
Neal is a never Trumpster and a major establishment RINO Republican, who has made numerous damning comments about former President Donald Trump. Neal, who was two years behind Trump in business school at the Wharton School has stated;
"TRUMP IS NOT GOOD REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER"
Neal scoffed at the suggestion that he and Trump are both real estate success stories. "I like real estate developers, but he's not a good real estate developer," Neal said.
NEAL: "TRUMP LOST MONEY FOR INVESTORS"
Neal continued, "Not only did he (Trump) lose money for people he borrowed from, but for a period there he lost money for his investors, particularly in the casino deals. That isn't the way you do it, and I would not say he is a credit to the real estate industry."
NEAL "TRUMP INCREDIBLY VULGAR CANDIDATE"
Then when Neal announced that he would not be a candidate for the State of Florida CFO position, he stated in the Sarasota Herald Tribune that he was “dispirited with what I see every morning having to do with the Trump campaign.”
He went on to tell Sarasota Herald Tribune reporter Zach Anderson that he viewed Trump "as an incredibly vulgar candidate who is leading our party off a cliff.”
Beruff
BERUFF WHO DeSANTIS CALLED A "SHADY BUSINESSMAN" SHARE CENTER STAGE WITH NEAL
Also, sharing center billing for the DeSantis fundraiser and at the recent Statesman of the year award award ceremony for DeSantis was Carlos Beruff, who is another major multimillion dollar establishment developer in the area stuffing DeSantis in his pocket.
Rubio and Beruff
Before breaking bread with Beruff in 2022, back in 2016 when Beruff ran for the U.S Senate against Marco Rubio, then U.S Congressman DeSantis made these comment about Beruff:
“Whether it’s the issue of Beruff’s liberal contributions to his support for Barack Obama’s disastrous foreign policy, his track record of using political donations to get preferential appointments to line the pockets of himself and his friends, or his history of shady business deals; we’re going to make sure Florida conservatives know the truth about the shady businessman, crony capitalism and liberal Carlos Beruff.”
DeSantis in 2016 was planning on running for U.S Senate if Rubio decided not to run for re-election. Rubio did run for re-election and DeSantis decided not to run. Beruff continued to run against Rubio and lost 71% to 19%, while expanding $8 million of his own money.
BERUFF BUILT HOMES WITH CONTAMINATED CHINESE DRYWALL
This is how DeSantis buttressed his claim that Beruff is a “shady businessman” with a link to a story from the Sarasota Herald Tribune. The linked story reported on Beruff’s company, Medallion Homes, being accused of building homes using contaminated Chinese drywall, and then refusing home owners pleas to replace it. The story says that Medallion attempted to intimidate homeowners from complain about the situation.
DeSANTIS BREAKS BREAD WITH THOSE TURNING FLORIDA INTO A PARKING LOT
As Governor DeSantis breaks bread with the establishment RINO Neal and his cronies once again, he has turned his so called Free State of Florida into Paradise Lost. DeSantis has sold his soul, as he has bought into the Neal/Beruff “Pay to Play” developers corrupt political machine that is turning Paradise into a Parking Lot.
