Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis outlined an aggressive plan to crackdown on what he calls “violent agitators”, amplifying Florida’s role in a polarizing national fight Trump and other Republicans are waging against Biden and Democrats

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday outlined an aggressive plan to crackdown on what he calls “violent agitators,” turning a huge spotlight to a political wedge issue President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has focused on for weeks.

DeSantis, who did not mention Trump during the press conference, acknowledged the timing of the “Combatting Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act” was designed to put “law and order” at the political center in the nation’s largest swing state during the final weeks of a campaign otherwise dominated by Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The legislation is not filed, so the definition of things like “mob” and "defund the police," a broad rallying cry for overhauling law enforcement, are not yet clear. Leon County State Attorney Jack Campbell said most of the Tallahassee protesters were peaceful, but other groups were using them as a screen to commit crimes.

“Most of this stuff is already illegal, he is just Hell bent on silencing any voice of opposition,” incoming House Minority Leader Evan Jenne said. “We will be ready to fight” DeSantis was joined during the press conference by Senate President-elect Wilton Simpson and House Speaker-designate Chris Sprowls. Both Republicans promised to file the plan for next year’s legislative session. They have also spent the summer also working behind the scenes of several legislative races.

Think you got this ass backwards... it’s liberal democrats who sent paid henchmen to rage war on Main Street. Gov Desantis is simply saying, you will be prosecuted. After all, these are indictable crimes.

What we need in this country is a program to crack down on politicians that abuse their office. Perhaps there is a use for Trump’s wall. Mr Jefferson told us that the first fight would not be the last. Perhaps the politicians that think so little of the common man should wake up

Analysis: US to hit 200K dead; Trump sees no need for regretAs the coronavirus pandemic began bearing down on the United States in March, President Donald Trump set out his expectations. If the U.S. could keep the death toll between 100,000 to 200,000 people, Trump said, it would indicate that his administration had “done a very good job.” If Joe gets to be President he can slide in on Trump's accomplishments since his 'plan' is identical to what Trump has already done to fight Covid. Plus Biden's $4 trillion new spending we I'll cost the 70 million actual tax payers $57,000 per tax return. Considering that the shady academia group soros thinktanks counts every cancer patient deaths, suicides, motorcycle accidents, gunshots, animal maulings and ocean drownings as 'coronavirus deaths' say thats actually pretty good too. Absolute bullshit!!!
