Now DESANTIS joins Trump in threatening to defund the FBI and DOJ to be defunded: Backlash over Alvin Bragg's prosecution grows as Florida Governor demands Congress 'rein in' federal agencies

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.

Enough, knock it off. Stop attacking our side.

Trump's cult following is starting to become annoying.

Defund? The FBI was literally crated by executive order and can be dissolved by executive order.

If the FIB is disbanded, who will be charged with spying on American citizens? Hoover will be turning in his grave...

The NSA/NRO still does it, as do the spies in the CIA.

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


I don’t think anyone needs a focus group to see if arresting political opponents during a political campaign is a little bit over the top. Dangerous territory - to be honest.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unveiled his brand-new presidential bleached hair and spray tan this week, officially kicking off his campaign to run for president in 2024.

“What are you talking about? This is how I’ve always looked!” said DeSantis to questioning reporters. “And I don’t appreciate it, OK? You are fake news. And frankly, it’s disgraceful. Some people might even say you’re losers, too. Many people are saying that, anyway. Enemies of the people. Sad.”

Don't be fooled.
He's not doing it for Trump, he's doing it because he knows he's next and he knows they're not Disney stooges to be messed with.
