Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said in an interview Friday that the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol “was not an insurrection.”
During an interview with actor Russell Brand, DeSantis was asked if he would consider those who participated in the Jan. 6 riot “insurrectionists” or “protesters.” The Florida Republican downplayed the events of the Capitol attack, saying in part of his response, “it was not an insurrection.”
“These are people that were there to attend a rally and then they were there to protest. Now, it devolved, and it devolved into a riot. But the idea that this was a plan to somehow overthrow the government of the United States is not true, and it’s something that the media had spun up just to try to basically, you know, get as much mileage out of it and use it for partisan and for political aims,” DeSantis continued.

DeSantis’ biggest problem is people are discovering he’s 100% establishment...just like Pence.
That is a lie by omission and context.
That is true, but let’s never forget The Russian Collusion Insurrection of 2016-2018 that the Republican majorities in the Senate and House were part of along with the administrative state.
It was not a riot.
Correct. It was a false flag, not a riot.
Biden still regrets that he did not send his F-15s to create a blood bath.
It was NOT a riot, it was a peaceful protest
Good for him for saying that.
The closer we get to election season the more BS ass kissing we are going to get from this two faced used car salesman...
Some freepers would complain if they were hanged with a new rope.
Almost three years?
Try harder.
“They are going to take this and milk this for anything they could to try to be able to smear anyone who ever supported Donald Trump,” DeSantis said at a news conference. “When they try to act like this is something akin to the Sept. 11 attacks, that is an insult to the people who were going into those buildings,” DeSantis said. “And it’s an insult to people when you say it’s an ‘insurrection’ and then, a year later, nobody has been charged with that.”On the anniversary of the Capitol riot, DeSantis likened Jan. 6 to “Christmas” for “D.C.-New York media,” saying the incident lets news outlets create “narratives that are negative” about former President Donald Trump’s supporters.
January 6, 2022.
That’s not what all your friends say Ron.
+1
A few days ago, he implied that Trump as responsible. Too bad that he, and so many others conveniently fail to recognize the last few sentences of Trump’s speech that day calling for PEACE.
Meatball’s internal poll numbers must have went through.
He is now trying to imitate Vivek’s stand.
My thoughts exactly.
Same for me.
