Former Trump adviser Roger Stone told Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that it would be treacherous for him to run against Trump in 2024.

Stone posted his cautionary message to DeSantis on Telegram on Wednesday, calling the governor “Ron DeSanctimonius”.

“If Governor Ron DeSantis challenges @realDonaldTrump who has made it clear that he will be a candidate in 2024 it would be the most stunning act of ingratitude and treachery in the history of American politics,” Stone wrote.

He also parroted the former president’s claim that a Trump endorsement helped DeSantis win the governorship back in 2019.

In the post, Stone also hit out at DeSantis’ wife, Casey DeSantis.

“Have you ever noticed how much Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey is like Lady Macbeth?” Stone wrote, referencing the Shakespearean character who encourages Macbeth to commit regicide and is later driven to madness herself.
