“How the hell is he going to “clean up the deep state” if he won’t even acknowledge the problem. Come on man!”

He not only acknowledged the problem he fixed the problem in Florida.


One of Florida’s most prominent newspapers published a scathing article slamming Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, for promoting the “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was fraudulent through his signing of a controversial election bill on Thursday.

Come on man. That’s an article from 2021, and DeSantis says nothing about 2020 being stolen. You’re passing off the columnists editorializing as if they were DeSantis’s words.


FROM THE ARTICLE:

“One of Florida’s most prominent newspapers published a scathing article slamming Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, for promoting the “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was fraudulent through his signing of a controversial election bill on Thursday.

State Republican lawmakers across the country have pushed for major election reforms and restrictions following President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, as well as Democrats narrowly flipping control of the Senate. DeSantis signed a GOP-backed election bill on Thursday, as former President Donald Trump—a Florida resident—and his allies continue to groundlessly claim that the 2020 election was “rigged” or “stolen” as they push for the election changes.

The oppressive law perpetuates the Big Lie of a stolen election by insinuating that Florida election laws needed fixing or don’t prevent fraud.


DeSantis signed a new election bill that changed election law in Florida. DeSantis never claimed 2020 was stolen. He’s consistently said that he believes there was election fraud but not enough to have changed the outcome, and he’s hoping people like you won’t make the distinction.


Here’s an article discussing the legislation in question.

“Provisions of the bill—called Senate Bill 90—include stricter voter ID requirements for voting by mail, adding limits on who can pick up and return a voter’s ballot, and banning private funding for elections. Restrictions created by the bill include expanding partisan observation power during ballot tabulation and creating more rules regarding drop box use for absentee ballots.”
