Republican presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> sparked backlash Saturday for a comment about Trump’s loyal base that critics say makes him sound like “Crooked Hillary” Clinton.<\/p>\n

DeSantis sat down for a recent interview, making the case that the movement behind former President Donald Trump<\/a> is rooted in personality and “totally detached from principle.”<\/p>\n

“A movement can\u2019t be about the personality of one individual,” he said. “The movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the American people, and that\u2019s got to be based in principle.”<\/p>\n

“Because if you\u2019re not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that\u2019s not going to be a durable movement,” he continued during an interview with the Florida Standard, referring to Trump\u2019s social media website.<\/p>\n

DeSantis said Trump\u2019s base<\/a> values loyalty to Trump over conservative principles and that “unless you\u2019re kissing his rear end, they will somehow call you a RINO (Republican In Name Only).”<\/p>\n

“There will be people who are huge Trump supporters like in Congress who have, like, incredibly liberal left-wing records that\u2019s really just atrocious, and yet they\u2019re viewed by some of these folks as, like, really, really good,” he said. “Then you have other people, you know, like a Congressman\u00a0Chip Roy who\u2019s endorsed me, Congressman Thomas Massie, these guys have records of principle, fighting the swamp that are second to none, and yet they will be attacked by some of these people and called RINOs.”<\/p>\n

The Trump campaign and his supporters seized on the DeSantis comment about “listless vessels,” comparing it to Hillary Clinton\u2019s infamous “basket of deplorables”<\/a> remark during the 2016 presidential election.<\/p>\n

“DeSantis is now running the same, failed playbook as Hillary Clinton,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. “He called all Trump supporters \u2018listless vessels\u2019 just like Crooked [Hillary] did in 2016 when she called us \u2018deplorables.\u2019 How did that work out? He should stop listening to his establishment handlers and start listening to the American people telling him to go back home.”<\/p>\n

The DeSantis campaign fired back at the “dishonest media” in an X post that defended the governor\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

“The dishonest media refuses to report the facts \u2013 Donald Trump and some congressional endorsers are \u2018listless vessels.\u2019 Why? Because Trump and DC insiders feel he is entitled to your vote,” wrote press secretary Bryan Griffin.<\/p>\n

“@RonDeSantis believes your trust should be earned and has the vision, plan, and record to beat Joe Biden and reverse the decline of our country,” he said. “That\u2019s why Ron DeSantis will be showing up on Wednesday night to debate, and Donald Trump will not.”<\/p>\n

“The media, DC insiders, and GOP grifting caucus are taking this hard because they know it\u2019s true,” added Christina Pushaw, rapid response director for the DeSantis campaign.<\/p>\n

The DeSantis campaign declined to comment further when reached by Fox News Digital on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is demanding the governor apologize “immediately” for his comments.<\/p>\n

“To Hillary Clinton, Trump supporters are \u2018deplorables.\u2019 To Ron DeSantis, they are \u2018listless vessels,\u2019” wrote Karoline Leavitt<\/a>, a spokesperson for Make America Great Again Inc. “The truth is, Trump supporters are patriots. Ron DeSantis is showing his true colors. The pressure of polling in third place is getting to DeSantis and now he is lashing out at the very same voters who got him elected governor. DeSantis must immediately apologize for his disgraceful insult.”<\/p>\n

Republicans presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stepped into the fray Sunday morning by slamming DeSantis as a “robot” politician.<\/p>\n

“The real danger to our movement is the rise of \u2018listless-vessel\u2019 robot politicians who blindly follow the commands of their Super PACs,”\u00a0Ramaswamy wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know why anyone running for president would put down half of the electorate and identify them, call them listless vessels because they support the former president,” Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., told Fox News on Saturday night. “And you’re right, he and I don’t always see eye to eye, but I call it like I see it.<\/p>\n

“Why Ron DeSantis would do that while his numbers are tanking is really beyond me,” she added.<\/p>\n

“Just like Crooked Hillary when she called Trump supporters deplorable, DeSantis can’t hide the hatred he has for the patriots who support my father,” wrote Trump\u2019s son<\/a>, Donald Trump Jr.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
