Florida Governor Ron DeSantis condemned the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump — and used his statement about it to campaign.
DeSantis posted a statement about the “weaponization of federal law enforcement” to his Twitter account on Thursday evening.
“The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis began. “We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.”
The tweet continued, “Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?”
DeSantis then quickly switched gears to campaign for himself.
“The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all,” the governor concluded.
The Department of Justice has indicted former President Donald Trump on seven counts related to handling classified documents, according to reports.
Trump responded to the federal charges by declaring, “I AM INNOCENT” in multiple posts on Truth Social.
This is the first time in the history of the United States that a former president has faced federal charges.

Using this to hype his own campaign, proves that instead of forming a united front with President Trump, he is a Globalist, who wants to see the “Greatest Nation” on earth, fall. God bless President Trump for his “his no surrender, no retreat”!
Yikes! This is a nasty POV. But it has substance, unfortunately.
So the controversy about DeSantis saying this is, what exactly???
I used to actually hold him in somewhat high regard. Then I watched him. He’s a snake, establishment, and just showed his true colors. Done with this prick.
This was posted just a couple hours ago. Duplicate post here. Pathetic.
Just lost my support and any future support. Two faced SOB.
The controversy is DeSantis isn’t deferring to Trump and isn’t willing to suspend his campaign and form a united front against any opposition to Trump
Charlie Kirk said on Twitter that any Republican candidate that didn’t suspend their campaign and travel to Miami to unite in support of Trump is part of the problem
So the controversy about DeSantis saying this is, what exactly???

Right.
Apparently, saying that the Trump indictment is wrong if you are running against him, even though not saying the Trump indictment is wrong if you are running against him, and staying silent about the Trump indictment is wrong if you are running against him.
Oh yeah, and for as long as Trump is being indicted, you should stop campaigning too. The whole time. Because that makes you a snake to try to win the nomination.
See how that works
If Trump failed to declassify these documents before taking them, he is a fool. He could not have anticipated this?
DeSantis is just another self-serving, jackass lawyer. Spit.
Because the SOB equated Trump with Hillary and Hunter Biden. He said why go after Trump, but ignore Hillary and Hunter. Essentially he was saying they’re all crooks. The dirty SOB should’ve been talking about this solely being an unjust political prosecution designed to remove an opponent from the race.
Done with the globalist prick. Not to mention he seems to be a dumb ass. If this tactic works on Trump, does he really think he’s immune? If there was ever a time for the Republican Party to close ranks, this is it.
Ron is a massive POS. Anyone who supports him is part of the problem.
Nothing wrong with that. He hits two Birds with one shot.
Electoral Politics is a competitive game. Being altruistic and wise does not always attract votes or cash contributions. One grabs an opportunity to get your name attached to something that deeply appeals to your base.
On other hand, an opponent like Chris Christie might not have much luck using this event as a way of raising funds.
What happens to Trump now has nothing to do with Christie at all. Most consider Christie as part of the past, circa 2016.
Reno got the sads because nobody likes his Bush-Cheney puppet?
There was nothing wrong with the RDS message.
“Sorry to have to post this but somebody has to say it.”
Grand Jury has indicted Trump but DeSantis lives rent-free in your head.
You're just telling it like it is.
