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
UK Daily Mail ^ | April 7 2023 | EMILY GOODIN

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.

“Did he focus group it to see if that would be his correct position?”
************************************************************
No, DeSantis is a true conservative so he is naturally aware of what needed to be done. But DeSantis is so busy making Florida safe, prosperous and free that he has to take a break occasionally to comment on the problems Trump’s pathetic cabinet picks didn’t resolve while he was President.

It will be just a matter of time that the deep state will be all over RDS if he is our candidate. Or whoever it is. Bet on that.
When RDS became our beloved gov ..just remember that before him was 8 years or Rick Scott, a Republican, 8 years of Jeb, a Republican and 8 years of Crist (when he was a Republican back then). 24 years of Republican leadership in Florida. When Trump took office he was met with 8 years of Obama’s mess. Now there’s Biden’s mess which is worse than Obama( I think ) after only 2 years.

Oh I remember that all right but I also remember the good things… no wars, prosperity, the list goes on. Someone here has an extensive list of all that stuff. Hopefully you’ve seen it.
Insofar as the jab, Trump had to rely on the medical advice of the” experts” just like all of us do when we seek medical advice. I do not blame him he was between a rock and a hard place. He did not make the jab mandatory. He relied upon the governors for their leadership on this subject. Can you imagine the outrage that would have happened if he had not gone along with these idiots? I remember how he was beat up just for mentioning ivermectin. Face it the deep State was not going to let him win at anything .

Thank you, Alvin Bragg, for doing more to unify the Republican Party than any Republican.

“Reining in Federal Agencies” accomplishes nothing useful Abolish and do not replace is a better operation. 2 million federal workers need to be on the unemployment lines.

Do you honestly think your support for DeSantis by knocking Trump is helpful? Might better be knocking Democrats, they’re certainly giving you enough ammunition.

i don’t trust anyone when it comes to medical advice...

doctors and lawyers are the only professionals that legally get away with calling what they do “practice”...

would you trust an automotive repair shop that practices “mechanics”?...
