Nope! They want DeSantis to say he’d give a pardon to trump. Basically saying, “chances are our guy is going to be found guilty. Please promise that you will pardon him so he doesn’t spend the rest of life in jail.” Why else would that stupid question be asked?
<<”They want DeSantis to say he’d give a pardon to trump”
Absolutely! And with good reason! OF COURSE Trump should be pardoned if he’s convicted of crimes which he didn’t commit - which is what’s on the verge of happening. And OF COURSE, it’s a real possibility that Trump could be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison FOR CRIMES HE DIDN’T COMMIT.
So DeSantis needs to say he would pardon Trump under those circumstances. But it’s not enough. He needs to address the problem of weaponized government honestly and unequivocally, which he’s not doing if he’s unwilling to acknowledge that it’s being used against a political rival of his.
So far, DeSantis message has been that he’s against weaponized government - unless it’s being applied to his political opposition. In other words, he’s not really against it.
