“Good point, but does that extend to DeSantis having to release a public statements on these - and every future instance - of politically motivated abuses of power? And every other abuse of the “rule of law” (of which there are many, pretty much daily)?”
No, not every abuse of power or abuse of the rule of law. But the politically motivated indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate on false charges, designed to prevent him from ascending to the presidency? Yes, he does need to respond - that is, if he intends to run for president himself.

Well, he did respond...and given DJT’s repeated insults, DeSantis’ tepid statement is not particularly surprising - and I wouldn’t have expected any more (or maybe less) from DJT if the roles were reversed.
