Ron DeSantis has joined Donald Trump's call to defund the Justice Department and FBI over its 'weaponization' of the legal system by its investigations of the former president.
The Florida governor also attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted Trump earlier this week, saying 'if we had somebody in Tampa that was trying to pursue that agenda, I'd yanked him from his position.'
DeSantis' tough talk comes as polls show that, even in the wake of his indictment, Trump leads him in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. DeSantis has not officially announced he's running but is widely expected to announce a bid.

Better late than never.
Sucks to be a Trump Mini-Me though.

While we are at it, defund the IRS and ATF.

Did he focus group it to see if that would be his correct position?

You are not on my side.
You are not on MAGA's side.
Your posting history shows you are on DeSantis' side, period.

BTW, when DeSantis unequivocally states he is not running for POTUS 2024 and whole-heartedly endorses the man that made him politically, he will be on my side, on MAGA's side, and America's side, until then, he is not.

Not if you are backing DeSantis in 2024 against Trump.
Non-Starter.

DeSantis would be wise to make peace with Trump and wait until 2028 or maybe be Trump VP. I think Trump wants a female for VP, Kari Lake, Nome, MTG. LOL Full MAGA in your face. I'd vote Lauren Boebert for VP. She's cute and she's smart.

I think someone clued DeSantis in on what is important for conservatives.
It is less about Trump, but and more about who conservatives can vote for and elect. If the candidate stands for issues that a important to conservatives, the democrats and their agencies will do anything, including lawless acts to keep them out of office. That my friends is bad for this democracy.
The border, the economy are all important. But if our candidates are hounded out of office, then we don't even get a voice.
If our freedom of speech is taken away, and we are censored in the public square, then we don't have a voice.
Today it is Trump being persecuted. But tomorrow it can be DeSantis if he is not kowtowing to their agenda.

I agree that FBI should be defunded. But being honest, I think it’s going to cost both of them votes in Nov 24.

IRS can be abolished in 2 days if we got rid of income tax and change to consumption tax.
