I don’t see DeSantis’ statement as supporting Trump’s indictment. Saying that Trump should have come out more forcefully is not saying that he is guilty of inciting insurrection.

We need DeSantis right where he is in Florida. We need his leadership in Florida because he is doing everything right for the state of Florida. We don’t want to destroy him. We just don’t him to run for President and divide the party. …and he is proving that he can’t. So, leave him alone.

You really believe desanctomonious’s chances improve if they are able to take out Trump? I don’t envy your position, hoping the deep state is successful taking out Trump. I guarantee you desanctomonious will not be POTUS no mater what they do to Trump. desanctomoniuos is in the same boat, hoping the deep state is successful. He’ll never get rid of that stink, and nether will you.

All he says is that Trump should have sent out another tweet that encouraged the people who were breaking shit in the Capitol to go home

How come you DeSantos people have to come in here and tell all what DeSantos really meant to say? Isn't that what the fake, corrupt media does all the time?

I can tell you the headline is complete and utter BS. But you don’t care about that fact because it makes DeSantis look bad. So dishonest. DeSantis literally never says “DOJ” in any of these quotes. He says these agencies have been weaponized (against Trump) and he will stop that. HE’S DEFENDING TRUMP IN THIS QUOTE BUT YOU MORONS STILL ATTACK HIM! Absolutely amazing.

Looks like more fake news with a shortened soundbite and lack of context

What he should’ve done is attack the DOJ for an obvious totalitarian action of a oppressive political regime.

Which he did NOT.

We’re WAY past “If We JuST nOmInAtE a MoDeRaTe We CaN wIn”

The Republic - our very constitution is in clear and present DANGER and under active attack by evil.

That handle already has. Just don’t expect them to be honest about it. Same goes for a few others on this thread, including one who should stick to cheering for Zelensky.

At this stage of the game, that should be really obvious to all.

You people simply attack DeSantis whenever the word "Trump" comes out of his mouth. It's very strange.

Not if one considers idolatry and the adversary

You said something rational and reasonable. So you *can* think when you want to.

Brendan Dilley is a lying propagandist.

DeSantis plainly said Trump should not be indicted.

As for whether or not Trump should have encouraged the J6 Protest?

Tell me how much that has been a winner for everyone involved, including Trump.

“Video is at twitter link above...”

Nothing about the DOJ.

A garbage story?

There's a video that shows RDS clearly in support, as if the charges might have merit.

You, and others that know Stalinists run the left need to understand what's going on. Stop defending what's indefensible.

Did you read the article?

DeSantis said he had not seen the latest news about a possible indictment but said that he’s seen an attempt to “criminalize politics and criminalize differences.”

“Criminal charges is not just because you may have done something wrong. It’s did you behave criminally?” said DeSantis, who has consistently trailed Trump in second place in GOP primary polling. DeSantis, so far, has been Trump’s closest competitor among a crowded Republican field.

“Meanwhile,” DeSantis added, “Hunter Biden, he would’ve been in jail if he were a Republican. One of my jobs as president will be to end the weaponization of these agencies, and I will get that job done.”

When asked whether he believed Trump’s actions were wrong in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, DeSantis said, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. He should have come out more forcefully ... but to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely.”
