Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,” the Florida governor noted.
Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted and promised if he was elected, he would do a more reach-across-the-decorum, saying “I think that we want to be in a situation where you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”
DeSantis pledging to return civility to the Dept of Justice comes on the same day the DOJ is about to deploy yet another indictment against the political opposition of the current administration. I’m not sure the civility DeSantis requires would be afforded by the institutions DeSantis supports. WATCH:
(New York Post – Rupert Murdoch) – […] DeSantis spoke hours after Trump disclosed, he is a target of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the events surrounding the ransacking of the Capitol.
Smith has been spearheading the DOJ’s two investigations involving Trump: one into the Capitol riot and the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election result, and the other into sensitive national security material kept at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
“Political civility” in this context means shut up and do what democrats say.
They can pound sand.
IF that is TRUE, DeSantis is TOAST!
DeSantis is such a champion of the republic! ...NOT
It is not true. This poster is spamming this website with continuous garbage.
If he means what he says, then he’s blind as a pig in shit and is not a man fit to be Commnder-in-Chief at this pivotal point in History.
Truth is, I think we’re well past the pivot and no man can save the Union and hold It true to It’s original Charter.
The aspirations of Power, Comfort and Security are what drives Soetero’s transformed America. Individual Liberty is so old-fashioned, so boring so ... pre-Soetero.
DeSantis is destroying all of his political capital. He now has no chance for 2028. What a huge disappointment.
I heard the comments like you probably did and the title of this thread is misleading and false, disagree all you want with DeSantis but this type of stuff is ridiculous
Wow. This is disqualifying. I am actually stunned.
It’s par for the course these days on FR. Trump cultists attack anything and anyone who says even the mildest sentence about their lord and savior. You can be a Trump supporter and not be a complete lunatic, as this poster is. People just read a headline and think the media is being honest. It’s amazing.
as of now he has lost my vote forever. he is Uni Party.
Word vomit. 🙄
I really think the Conservative Nuthouse is a paid propaganda arm of the Trump campaign. SunDunce has become a sick joke.
If this is accurate — IF — you can stick a fork in DeSantis.
Please tell me this is not true.
With Republicans like that, who need Democrats?
Ron, if they can steal the election from Trump, they sure as hell steal it from you.
“We must all hang together or most assuredly we will all hang separately.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Put a fork in him, he’s done.
Have you reported it on THE ABUSE BUTTON???
The Deep State can make a Republican win an election just as easily as they can make Democrat win an election. It all depends on which one better suits their agenda.
