Saturday was the second time in less than six weeks that Ron DeSantis came back to the New York City area. Now that he was in Nassau County, he kept criticizing how Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg handled the Trump case.
DeSantis said that Bragg was a threat to society and that all he cared about was politics.
DeSantis says that Trump’s “whole thing” is to lower criminal punishments. He wants to turn felony charges into offenses.
This is a very dangerous substance.
Then he changes his mind and makes a false claim about a former president of the United States. DeSantis yelled from the rooftops, “He’s using all these legal tricks to make it look like a felony, but most of the time he’s trying to make a felony less serious.”
A job in public service? Who is he? At that point, everyone in the room stood up when he said, “He has an agenda, but that’s not the rule of law.”
During his 50-minute speech, DeSantis said a lot of good things about Florida.
We haven’t had leaks or royal trouble in over four years,” he told about 600 people in the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s glass-walled courtyard in Garden City.
He said, “We just carry out the agenda,” which seemed to be a dig at former president Donald Trump’s chaotic government.
But the governor made sure not to mention Trump by name.
Instead, he attacked Vice President Joe Biden very hard.
DeSantis laughed and said that Joe Biden is “our president.” He went on to say, “He’s weak, he’s floundering.”
He is now completely run by the far-left part of the Democratic Party.
Seventy Trump supporters crowded the streets outside to wait for DeSantis. Many of them were waving American flags and “Trump 2024” signs.
Stan, who is 64 years old, said he went to the DeSantis event because the president’s trial was coming up. In other words, if they did it to him, they could do it to anyone.
“De Santis doesn’t mean much to me,” said Rose Mui, who is 60 years old.
I don’t think the claim is true at all. The biggest thing they want is for Trump to slow down for a while.
On the other side of the street, 15 protesters held signs that said “Say Gay Every Day” in reaction to the “Don’t Say Gay Bill,” which is what opponents have called DeSantis’ plan for parents’ rights.
Some of DeSantis’s recent speeches, like those in Iowa, Nevada, and Georgia, were paid for by To The Republic, a new right-leaning organization. This was not, however, part of his overt plan.
The candidate’s plan is usually laid out in a book like “The Courage to Be Free,” which he or she released on Saturday and signed copies of at a bookstore after making a speech at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference in Harrisburg.
Staten Island is the most red part of the city, and DeSantis spoke there on February 20. The crowd at Trump’s first stop on his book tour was so excited that he later made fun of them.
A quote from Trump making fun of Truth Social: “There was a lot of hype and a lot of money spent, but only 139 people showed up for DeSantis in Staten Island.”
In November, the 44-year-old governor was re-elected with a huge win margin of 19 points, the biggest for a Florida governor in decades. This has made his popularity among Republicans soar.
Since then, he has gotten a lot of support from conservatives by talking about the “culture wars” and calling for tighter rules on abortion, more police, and a more reasonable approach to “woke” educational policies.
“We’re never going to give in to the woke mob,” DeSantis told the crowd in Nassau County.
It is said that a lot of “woke” people move to Florida and then die there.
Many people think he will run against Donald Trump in the GOP primary as his most dangerous opponent, but he hasn’t said anything about it, which says he wants to finish this session in the Florida state.
This week, Fox News released the results of a nationwide study that showed Trump had a 30-point lead over Ron DeSantis, his nearest competitor. But polls from key primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire show that the governor is ahead or very close to being ahead.
