The Hard-Tweeting Defense Lawyer GOP Candidates Have Learned to Fear
Ron Filipkowski’s uncovered videos have embarrassed multiple campaigns. Now he’s aiming for Ron DeSantis.
SARASOTA, Fla. — Ron Filipkowski sat at a table in the Sarasota courthouse waiting for the judge to call his client’s name, when the urge to pull out his cell phone finally overcame him.
The docket was stacked that day and he had time to kill. So, he did what he often does: checked X, formerly Twitter.
His eyes began to scan. His fingers moved into place. Filipkowski saw that former Vice President Mike Pence had turned down an invitation to appear at a Georgia GOP convention where Donald Trump was slated to appear as the keynote speaker. He dashed off his take.
“Pence is afraid to be at an event together with Trump. Mother isn’t ready for that much stress yet,” Filipkowski tweeted, referring to the myth that Pence calls his wife “mother,” which Pence aides have denied. Ping! Nine hundred four likes.
A few minutes passed before he posted his next tweet: He shared a photo of Ivanka Trump in a blue gown talking to Prince William at the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan; it had originally been published by a British stock photo agency and had not yet been shared widely.
Ping! Four hundred fifty-one retweets and a slew of outraged comments asking what the former first daughter was doing there.
