So what did DeSantis have to say about the Florida Republicans putting forth regulations requiring bloggers to register with their state and disclose their personal financial dealings? Why hasn’t he responded to this fascist legislation, or is he in support of it? On his book tour he evaded and panicked when asked about Ukraine.
