Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ (R) released a brand new digital ad for his campaign in the week running up to the elections and has managed to go insanely viral with millions of views recorded on just Twitter by itself.
The entire new ad is portrayed in black and white and seems to be based on the famous newscaster Paul Harvey, who passed away back in 2009, and his very well-known “So God Made a Farmer” speech issued back in 1978 at the Future Farmers of America in Kansas City, Missouri.
“And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a protector,'” starts the ad. “So God made a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people, to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness. So God made a fighter.”
“God said, ‘I need someone to be strong, advocate truth in the midst of hysteria, someone who challenges conventional wisdom and isn’t afraid to defend what he knows to be right and just. So God made a fighter,'” the ad went on. “God said, ‘I need somebody who will take the arrows, stand firm in the wake of unrelenting attacks, look a mother in the eyes and tell her that her child will be in school.’ She can keep her job, go to church, eat dinner with friends, and hold the hand of an aging parent taking their breath for the last time. So God made a fighter. God said I need a family man. A man who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his daughter says she wants to spend her life doing what dad does. So God made a fighter.”
The ad seems to have sparked an almost feral and highly intense backlash from quite a few leftists, with many of the responses so heavily laden with explicit profanity that they could not be included in any proper news report.

TRANSCRIPT:
NARRATOR: And on the eighth day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a protector’. So God made a fighter. God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, kiss his family goodbye, travel thousands of miles for no other reason than to serve the people, to save their jobs, their livelihoods, their liberty, their happiness. So God made a fighter. God said, ‘I need someone to be strong, advocate truth in the midst of hysteria, someone who challenges conventional wisdom and isn’t afraid to defend what he knows to be right and just.’ So God made a fighter. God said, ‘I need somebody who will take the arrows, stand firm in the wake of unrelenting attacks, look a mother in the eyes and tell her that her child will be in school.’ She can keep her job, go to church, eat dinner with friends, and hold the hand of an aging parent taking their breath for the last time. So God made a fighter. God said I need a family man. A man who would laugh and then sigh and then reply with smiling eyes when his daughter says she wants to spend her life doing what dad does. So God made a fighter.
