Live Updates: Ian weakens over South Carolina as death toll rises in Florida

Kevin Guthrie, director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, said there have been more than 700 rescues so far in the state in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.

Guthrie said they are still in"hasty search" mode, while the governor said there are more than 1,000 rescue personnel going up and down the Florida coast. The emergency response to the situation has been a"herculean effort" as communities continue to suffer, said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Guthrie said officials have confirmed a storm-related death in Polk County. Twenty other deaths have been reported, he said, but they are awaiting medical examination to determine if they were storm-related. Those include 12 deaths in Charlotte County and eight in Collier County.He also described a specific harrowing scene in a location that was not specified, of a completely flooded house with what is believed to be bodies inside.

"The water was up over the rooftop. But we had a Coast Guard rescue swimmer swim down into it and he could identity there appeared to be human remains. We do not know exactly how many," Guthrie said."We do not know what the situation is. And before we comment on that - we want to be transparent - but we just don't know that number."Rescue teams need the water to recede and are awaiting special equipment to investigate those situations further.

RonKoch36204122 People have a right to defend their homes. Only to worst of humans would rob someone during a disaster !

Newsome responds, all those criminals are welcome to California. The land of the abortion, weed and transsexuals safe haven...

I love governor DeSantis approach towards the second amendment, citizens are allowed to protect themselves 👏👏

How many looter have been shot so far

Only attempt it if you figure it’s a good day to die.

Ron DeSantis is a violent 'extremist-christian' (anti-women's rights/anti-gay rights/anti-trans rights) and a human trafficker. DeSantis has no morals and no sense of right and wrong. Vote for Democrat Charlie Crist for Governor of Florida to protect women's basic human rights.

Looters have rights too, just ask the left.

Why can’t Governors and Mayors have commonsense like DeSantis. If you are looking after your citizens and not some political ideology like BLM, open borders, school choice and energy independence you will get voted back time because it does make a difference to one’s life

mattgaetz Hey RepMattGaetz I see you are wanting to rebuild Florida not Ukraine but you voted against hurricane response monies. Please explain to we the people?

BasedSavannah Standyourground

Well put gov DeSantis. You loot, people shoot. As it should be.

Wise advice, Governor.

Yes

Pollux2789 Run for President Sir GovRonDeSantis, we need someone to lead us out of this darkness, get back to true American values, As someone living in California, I wish we had true leadership, like you display, here. freedom

A real leader speaks 👏 🙌 💯

mattgaetz

Love this guy

Bless you Governor Desantis. About time we stand for righteousness and justice.

Ron DeSantis is a violent 'extremist-christian' (anti-women's rights/anti-gay rights/anti-trans rights) and a human trafficker. Ron DeSantis has no morals and no sense of right and wrong. Vote for Charlie Crist for Governor of Florida to protect women's basic human rights.

Fair point. Nothing worst than losing most of your property to nature, only to have men raid on remaining property.

Where’s your home gov?

Joy Reid is a racist herself

Cheryl8688 Why? You took advantage of people.

Perhaps it was not such a good idea to spend money on plane tickets and send those migrants away from Florida , at this time they could be helping on a fast recovery, and helping those people in needs after this Ian Hurricane.

GovRonDeSantis is a lame duck. Instead of preparing Florida against hurricane, he was bussing migrants from Texas and Arizona for a political stunt. He should do the honorable thing and resign so a new competent governor could do the job.

You GO Gov. People have a dark side. We don't want to defend the police and NOW after Ian passed thru we need law and order even more to protect people & their belongings. Thanx for ALL you stand for.

Best governor!!

Love this guy

💯

mattgaetz Perfect choice of word. Lurking.

punchnazis

Listen to all the hacks( fake woke) idiots! Typical CBS fan base! LIBTARDS

Good for DeSantis.

Typical bully behavior we have come to expect from him. Not impressed.

I’m not the biggest fan of the guy but I’d rather this than… “please please dont loot I’m appealing to your better nature.”Look preying on the vulnerable is vile.

Should we shoot the rising water with our guns?

Or you... He is just warning would be looters.... just like comply & stay alive; loot? they'll shoot'.

You doing a 👏 great job ! Thank you so much !!!

You tell them DeSantis!

he is so disgusting

Great job governor... all looters will be put down on the spot.

If Joy R takes what Gov. Ron D said personally- it’s obvious she is the one with racial issues- Gov. DeSantis statement was not racial at all! She has issues!

Yesssssss!!!! I love him !!! People feel safe with a man like that in charge !

Good!

Meanwhile in Florida:

bedford_colleen Good man! 👏👏

Why is there so much praise for a Governor who desires to Help Take away Voting Rights From Black People Woman’s Right to Choose ? Social Security ? Wick ? Medicaid, Medicare ! SSI , Public Schools ?,and Abolish All other programs designed to give people a hand up ?

Great advice that we Floridians fully support. 💯

80% bots on Twitter.

mattgaetz

mattgaetz Always a negative twist on everything. Compassion + empathy don't equal obnoxious bully talk. You can't lead with a nasty edge!

GovRonDeSantis is a lowlife who WANTS VIOLENCE to further his ambitions.

mattgaetz LOVE DESANTIS!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What a 🍆 to make a statement like that about looting someone’s home after a major weather event. If he’s not voted out Florida will be in big trouble.

Good for him. 2nd amendment shall not be infringed. Says nothing about race.

mattgaetz 🤣🤣🤣

This guy is a freaking bully wannabe 24/7 terrible attitude 😂😂😂

thill2006 Awful Governor and even more awful person. VOTE BLUE 💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙DeSantisDestroysFlorida

Well, I hate the guy but he's not wrong this time. We damn sure don't get looted out here in the sticks. They try but get run out right the f now.

mattgaetz

Thats absolutely great and absolutely true. If you loot and you get shot you deserve it. Period.

Good.

Here we go Democrats trying to use this tragedy as a political matter how nasty this people is no respect for anything or anyone.....🤬

Love this man!

Love him

❤️❤️❤️

He's a pathetic joke!

Pretty sure every state is a 2nd amendment state

irishteo Love him!

Ah.... Govenor DeSantis, there are 49 other 'Second Amendment States' in the union, even Caifornia! Florida is a 'stand your ground' state. Time to get a new press secretary, don't you think?

Shooters in schools 2

mattgaetz Matt Gaetz Votes No On Relief Money As Florida Deals With Death, Hurricane Damage

The one and only De Santis!! Best governor America 🇺🇸 has ever produced. Will vote for him in November and will vote for him DeSantis2024

He’s not wrong about that. Florida is a FAAFO state for sure.

A simple way to not get shot is to show proof of residency, and don’t Loot!!!!

Now add murder to your résumé right near human trafficker

mattgaetz ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN

Thank you Mr. President!

This man is the best.

Because a submerged TV is worth more then a human life to DeathSantis

Not bad advice.

Amen and thank you Sir for being the real deal

THIS IS WHY I AM KEEPING MY DOLLARS IN MY POCKET READING SOME OF THE COMMENTS THEY SHOWING HOW UNGRATEFUL THIS STATE IS AFTER ALL THEY WENT THIUGH THIS IS HOW YOU ASK FOR HELP THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LEARNING LESSON BUT I GUESS YOU CANT HELP THE DEVIL 👿

People are worried about finding a place to stay not worried about stealing anything this man is a piece of work please everyone vote him out of office

The Second Amendment is not undermined in our state. Self defense through gun ownership is encouraged in our state. Our cleanup workers may be carrying in our state. That's what he means when he says Florida is a 2nd Amendment state.

Florida is a second amendment state beware if you plan on looting their homes 🇺🇸❤️🙏

Sounds very racist to me that she apparently went right to POC being who his statement was directed to. She assumes whites don’t loot then

Maybe focus on recovery and helping people and less on the possibility of looting. Hard to loot when everything has been wiped out

Yes, they can go loot in their natural grounds, like Chicago or New York.

Awesome!!

Amen!!

Nice

Best Governor in office! This man will be President one day & I can't wait!🇺🇲

That’s what up !!!!!

Katrina showed the character of some people, hope he has alot of bullets! Good luck!

It's very Racist to imply only minorities loot.

CBS....Applause because you reported what he said and didnt slander his words to make it appear to be something it isn't. LIKE JOY REID DID.

Looters beware! FL is a 'stand your ground' state, too!! If you loot, they will shoot!! Looters will deserve it!!!

mattgaetz Did DeSantis just say it's acceptable to kill a human being over a tv set? That can't be what a governor means, can it?

Leave the looting to elected officials.

Thank goodness for Govenor DeSantis! Supports law and order!

Hellz yeh

All states are, technically, 2nd Amendment states

That’s the best governor in America! Thank you GovRonDeSantis for doing what POTUS and TheDemocrats fail do do. Protect the people!

God Bless Ron DeSantis

I need to move to Florida

Any updates on the looting situation? How bad is it?

Really? Try helping the people first. Republican leadership are missing the point of taking care of people across the country.

And people have the God given right to protect their property. So why is this problematic Even Biden has armed guards who will shoot....

mattgaetz So you are telling them to rob with their gun since the victim will be armed

Once a jerk always a jerk, ready to enforced FL Stand Ur Ground. Anything to arouse the emotions of supporters, this is not Tough on Crime, just an $$0le showing his true colors.

chicha_black Then put up a sign welcoming all who need help. It’s easier to make a sign than to pull a trigger.

Good for GovRonDeSantis I hope Texas sent help, as well. I would be extremely disappointed if my state didn’t step up! ♥️ Florida!

We Are All Second Amendment States!🇺🇸📜⚖️ Some STATES Regulate the Second Amendment Smarter than others, Safer than others, More Responsibly Than Others! DeathSantis...so consistently on brand with fear & hate.🧐🤮👎🏾👎🏿👎🏻👎😷

mattgaetz

They got a warning. Just try it darn thieves!

Joy Reid is such a racist don’t know how she stays on tv. But bet I can guess

FAFO

Great Gov. Desantis.

DeSantisIsUnfitForOffice

Put in a plug for more guns while getting more aid from Washington! Even after he voted Against aid for other states!! And isn’t he none too subtly eyeing a presidential run!! Uum?😤🤬🤯😡🤣😂😖

Good. It is about time someone in authority respects the residents more than the looting criminals. Democrat city mayors need to try that with store looters.

Unfortunately someone had the nerve to go in and pillage a homeless camp, stole what little food they had, went through all their belongings and ripped all they could. Who would have the balls to do this to people that need everything they have and more. Shame on you!!!

Joy Reid what a Whale lowlife Marxist segregation my ass joy if you don’t know anything best thing to do is keep your mouth shut every time you open it flies fly out.

He surely did not say 'you loot. We shoot'. you are jerks

Taking advantage of people in a vulnerable situation. WELL WELL isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? I know 50 asylum seekers who would like a word!

mattgaetz Did he just say if someone thinks you’re looking their home, they can and will shoot you? Be careful 1st responders and volunteers. The gov just gave his 2A go ahead.

It’s about time enough is enough I carry and my home is well armed.

Love love love Governor DeSantis thanks to him for always caring about Florida.

All the haters here don't believe in protecting their families or their property. You don't belong in Florida, stay where you are and continue to enjoy the looting, riots, smash and grabs and Walgreen robberies in broad daylight. Enjoy.

Desantis is doing right by me.

Yes, no help yet coz they are busy fighting the government. It’s gonna take a while.

Yeah the looters may have guns. Insert racist dog whistle here… GOPDeathCult

FL is under water... 'We'll shoot yo asses' 😂😂😂

mattgaetz Always so negative and divisive. VoteDeSantisOut VoteBlue2022

Nice threat! First responders could be shot

Hes concerned for peoples well being. He's reminding them they are all in this together. He doesn't want anyone dieing, nor living with the guilt. He never said anything about race or income or anything deviding. Only a racist could make this a racial issue.

Good otherwise you get what you deserve

Fuck around and find out .. just don’t loot then

Good for DeSantis. I love it.

Beautiful!! We are a SecondAmendment state!!

He’s not wrong. You loot, we shoot

DeSantis is doing a GREAT JOB! AMERICAS GOVERNOR! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

God Bless Gov DeSantis

I love him

What’s the issue? Criminals need to stop running the show

This is what a leader looks like!!

Unless FL allows violent felons to carry firearms, they too limit the 2A.

Soooo CBS news, are you for or against his point? To be safe you had better be for it.

More importantly, especially to Neoliberalist sympathizers who would chance sending boats to nations to continue to ransack humanity, this is a Second Advent planet.

So you can’t provide law and order but you can provide open carry with open shooting. It is Florida no less.

What are you going to loot punk sissy.

He is the only one whos thinking about looting.

Well. That ought to put a chill in any list of potential do-gooders.

So, he wants people to shoot those who are poor? Is that his message?

1. All amendments to the US Constitution are in effect in all 50 states, not just the 2nd one in certain states. 2. First responders, rescue & aid volunteers, insurance adjustors, and contractors all are in danger of being mistaken for looters & being shot while doing their work.

Amen

And stand your ground too.

Bunch of people on here have never seen the aftermath of a serious hurricane. Looting was crazy after and during Katrina. This is a serious concern.

Or, and this is madness, I know, maybe warn people not to loot because it's both illegal and a dick move.

Yep, we are not going to get looted by some unwilling to work for a living criminals!

Finally a governor with balls, unlike newsom

2.5 million concealed carry permit holders in the state of Florida. Nuff said.

So do most Floridians have muskets?

Love, love, love this guy!

Outstanding. A real governor. Unlike Kalifornia.

in other words they will not prosecute anyone who shoots a looter. Badass achievement unlocked ❤️❤️❤️

Unlike New Orleans who went door to door taking guns.

Just reminding people he is cool with murder.

Not for nuthin' but isn't every state a Second Amendment state? You'd think a Prez hopeful would know that.

Love it

Thank you Gov DeSantis!

He sounds like he’s encouraging people to loot just so people get shot🤦🏼‍♀️

mattgaetz Biden vs Trump

He is nothing but an ignorant bully! Trump licker.

TheMrsLevy Liberals are in the comments defending looters and think they are on the good side 😂

Lanocco When you live in a country where some leaders look at looting as some sort of 'social justice' REAL LEADERSHIP has to make it clear that bad things may happen. Because in Florida looting is a CRIME. And I think most people in Florida know a criminal and someone trying to help.

Every state is a 'second Ammendment state.' What he's doing is encouraging vigilantes.

Like or not that was a perfectly reasonable clip. Don't loot. Get shot if you loot. Sounds like the right outcome to me.

my3monkees Best Governor Ever!!!

Hell Ya

Good for him! Looting is always a problem after these disasters!

good for him

Why doesn't he be concerned about the insurance companies dropping coverages for the people of FLA.

Alligators Ron, alligators may be lurking 🙄🙄

Perfect

Hes great besy governor beside maybe Abbott

I love and will vote for a leader of the free and law abiding citizens! America needs to stand up and say, 'Enough is enough!'

Big tough guy who was against Government money for disasters 5 years ago now thinks socialist money is OK. PhonyHypocrite

Every state is a second amendment state. Why does the GOP do this?

👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Ron DeSantis is UNFIT to be governor...

Beside YOURSELVES FLA GATE ERS

👍👍👍🇺🇸

Looting is not the biggest issue right now. What is hisproblem?

Well said Governor 👏

💕 Love this.

Best Governor ever❗️

Thank you GovRonDeSantis for maintaining law and order in the state where countless Americans have discovered freedom, life, and liberty in the past couple of years.

Following your logic it seems you wish for people to loot houses. IDK, it seems weird to me...

Sounds to me like he's telling the residents they're on their own instead of him acting like a (what is he now?) Governor. TrumpIsARussianAsset

Your lot have more experience in looting welfare and poor people…Does Brett Fabre ring a bell?

If this is the example of a leadership you're in trouble.

Of course he did, it’s all about stirring his Maga pot.

They were warned ..looting is a crime

This man is awful. Exploiting peoples’ pain and using immigrants as scapegoats. Shame on you, Desantis!

Dirty Joe Biden’s mental faculties are clearly in decline, Kamala is the laughing stock of the world and rightly so. We need a good conservative that would not abandon our border states and will not give citizens money away exceeding his purview and circumventing the congress.

DAMN RIGHT.

Here, taking a break from feigned compassion, DeSantis encourages armed, murderous, vigilante revenge

Yeah, this is what he’d focus on. RemoveRon

My neighbor advised her 20 yr old son to show a gun to people on the street at night. Ugh

Boom.

Your state and its people are devastated and you come out with this ridiculous anti looting speech? You are the worst Governor! Your message should be one of help and caring for what has happened to them and an offer of help with this incredible loss, shelter, food, loss of life

Is this a request to shoot first responders?

What a Quido greaseball hack. Got something for use boy,the ballot box.

JUST IN: Florida Governor Encourages Death Squads

Property crime ranking, by state: Texas 14, CA 18, FL 32, MA 50. Comment: crime rate falls markedly as people age: FL is “oldest” state. But, in general, “2nd Amendment” states trend higher crime rates.

Yep, that’s right…stand your ground.

Looters = democrats. Cue the outrage from the democrat media. AMAZING how dems can loot and shoplift with impunity, doing smash and grabs across the country and no media coverage happens. Shopping with sledgehammers. But Desantis says 'look out looters' and outrage ensues.

Yeah? …and?

God forbid people eat without getting shot in the middle of an absolute crisis.

Imagine watching this and being on the side of looters/home invaders. Defend your property, businesses and family’s. Don’t let theft become normalised.

This is when the AR 15's should be used against these low life scum.

Love this man

Wow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, that Law and Order thing Triggered you didn't it ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍻 foxnation

would you prefer he didn't warn them and they died?

King douchebag! FOH

The 1st $950 isn't free in FL.

Wow. Anybody thinking about going to GovRonDeSantis’s Florida to volunteer to help with the clean-up had better think again.

I'm glad he's warning looters. It always astounds me that there are elements of US society who see a disaster as an opportunity to take advantage of someone else. In Australia, our entire community comes together to help for an emergency situation.

Dude shut up

Florida and Floridians sound like really great people

Pandering

2A states are great!

Humans doing human stuff

Yup. Fuck around and find out.

If people don't get help they'll have to loot to stay alive. If DeSantis can come up with 12 million to fly refugees in TX to MA for no fucking reason, he should be able to find 12 million FOR THE PEOPLE HE STOLE THAT MONEY FROM.

there ya go, encourage gun violence from trigger happy homeowners

👏🏼✅

Aka “blast any and everyone that tries to creep up in your shit”

Using a tragic national disaster to sell his agenda

People are dead , some lost everything. But hey let’s see if the 2nd Amendment will rebuild or pay flood insurance!

He is not lying

We need more leaders like Governor DeSantis!

I’m pretty sure every state has the 2nd amendment. Now bodily autonomy… that’s another story.

Imagine that. A Governor telling criminals that they might face consequences for breaking and entering.

We'd have far less crime if Americans would remember that we are a second amendment country

mattgaetz Ultimately every person has the right to protect himself and I don’t to have want a bat because I am a good citizen when my intruder has an illegal high round gun if that makes me crazy sorry.

Meanwhile in jewelry stores all over California they don't even need a disaster to start looting. Why no outrage for that?

1fr33dom Bravo 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️

What if they determine that DeSantis is looting them? 🤔

Vote Blue America

Pathetic sick chump!

This is dumb & irresponsible. The 2A is in the Constitution so ALL 50 states are 2A states! DeSatan should focus on helping people but he can’t so he tries to distract with fear mongering. So gross esp since so many Floridians have lost everything including loved ones.

💥

That’s right. Looting is evil on purpose. Society is better off without crime.

Well… they’ve been warned

People forget Florida is a 'Stand Your Ground State'. Black, White. Purple or Green, invade someones business, home. You will get a bullet for your troubles.

Fire at will

Thank you.

People lost their homes. People lost their lives. People are floating in water right now waiting to be rescued. And here you are, trying to push 2A. pretty sure people in the disaster areas have a lot more to worry about right now. 🖕🏻 VoteOutEveryRepublican VoteCharlieCrist

Unfortunately de satanic is lurking behind your home. What an absolute pedo.

true

“Liberals are crazy”…this comes from my recently nationalized Colombian GF who also said “United States is now a third world country” I give her mad respect for getting her citizenship the LEGAL way! She was pissed she couldn’t vote in 20, Latina for Trump!

He’s right to warn looters.

Yup.

Politics… always politics.

Last time I checked all 50 states are “2nd Amendment States”. But good job dissuading volunteers.

jim_sinclairjr Their accusations are their confessions - watch him fill his pockets as poor Floridians suffer.

All you losers in this thread spreading hate is only going make more people want to move to FL.

Gov Murphy of NJ had 135 National Guard troops ready to help in Florida and Gov DeSantis DECLINED to accept their aid. (probably because he voted against aid and support for New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy devastated it a decade ago)

mattgaetz 👍

He’s so disgusting.

I’d phrase this as, “Ron DeSantis repeats frequently invoked right wing trope about looting after a natural disaster, when there’s little evidence this occurs in the wake of natural disasters.” or something along those lines, because that’s what’s true.

Awesome

What a sick pathetic man.

fuck ya!!!!

Apparently Rally's are ok but looting is not

Make it your top of mind.

I thought Trump was going to stop rhe Carnage- right here, right now!?😳😳

100%✓

Loot what?

Don’t loot and there won’t be a problem.

What about the “legal” looting by his government

I thought we were a second amendment country

👏👏🙏

It’s s grim picture of Ian’s destruction to Florida and Gov. S stoking more reasons to fear will not help. I find the Gov.speaks too glibly and matter a factly about the last few days of horrific events.

This guy is a leader.

cryan_colleen Good! That is leadership there!!

callme_Chari Oh dear🙄

Such a buffoon. Since you are a 2nd amendment State (which actually applies to all States) DeSantis just advised people to bring a gun when they loot homes. You know...being a second amendment State and all I'm sure everyone has one..

God bless him!

Same happened when Kathrina hit New Orleans a lot of people got shoot, because they took the law and order on their hands!

How about making people safe?

Yes we’re Mr. Ron DeSantis ♥️

He’s absolutely correct. Good advice

Criminals can’t say they weren’t warned.

💕 As it should be Nationally. You steal from somebody’s property or threaten their life. They should be able to defend it. Cuts down on legal fees and criminals.

sharon_Kruggs I remember Hurricane Camille. The family's babysitter's sister was on the coast & she & her husband took off to help. Scenes were horrific. Piles & piles. She said one had an arm sticking up. National Guard said not to even bend down to tie your laces or you'd be shot.

Love this governor!!!!

He’s disgusting.

This man has got to run for potus.

Straight forward and simple message: don't loot, severe consequences follow.

Damn right

I carry

Grateful for our governor!

So he’s threatening to shoot victims now?

I don’t like the man, but he’s not wrong.

The best!

Looters deserve worse.

Absolutely…. you loot we shoot…

Leaving this here...

socrates1951 How much I wish he were Gov of NY I can’t even begin to explain!

dear ultra wealthy people & greedy, careerist, Gov. Deathsantis, So you value property so much that you would stay behind in your 3rd island home deadly hurricane, to shoot possible looters thus preventing the stuff that you inflated for insurance from being taken? Have at it!

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Fun fact: They’re ALL Second Amendment states. It’s part of the whole “United” thing.

Don't play around with Florida they shoot you out there!💥🇺🇲

This guy loves talking about violence

Joe Biden encourages looting for reparations. The hurricane Ian is racist. Thank God Gilliam ain’t running Florida. CBS backed a whore chasing meth head for Florida Governor. CBS backed Gilliam. Gilliam would be methed out during this crisis. Great job backing Gilliam CBS!!!

ah yes a warning to not loot the houses that have been completely swept away

Leadership

BOSS

People in every state can in some way “carry”, what a ridiculous blowhard.

Thatta boy!

*nobody is looting unless they are really desperate and looting helps encourage racial stereotypes*

Best governor and future president ever..

Meanwhile four days later with no power and dealing with Fluke (Duke) Energy.

Don’t you loot others homes - leave some for me! Says DeSantis!

They’re going to put this guy as the next VIP or President in 2024 Republican ticket. Book it.

I am sure they will listen.

The only think lurking behind closed doors in FLORIDA is a 70 year old pedophile

This should scare some of those Democrat criminals into staying home.

👏👌👏

🙄

Our future President🇺🇸🇺🇸

Solid advice

What?!

I love this guy so fucking much 👏

What a clown! People are suffering without basic needs and he’s out here doing this stuff.

This is political posing . It’s all about him . Great politicians rise above politics when crises occur .

AMEN!! GovRonDeSantis is a real leader!!

Amen!

That’s right. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! All you have to do is not take advantage of people in their time of need. It’s that simple.

GovRonDeSantis doesn't need a Hurricane to loot peoples' freedoms. This guy is a satanic, white supremist, bent on destroying American's lives. Vote DeLooter out of office. We can do 1000% better than this joker.

What needs to happen: We need to clean house at the FBI. The House needs to impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland. The House needs to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

spiderman419 luvmyguv ❤️🇺🇸

what does that tell about what he thinks of his constituents?

You rock gov

I love my Gov.

So that’s what, and well-unregulated militia?

He is the best Governor in the country. We need 49 more just like him.

The people’s governor

Threats and political posturing are all DeSantis has to offer in the wake of a disaster, apparently. He's not fit to run a crack house, let alone a state.

That’s right!!!

Good for him!!

I’m sure all of the rescue crews and first responders appreciate him encouraging citizens to shoot strangers.

So, encouraging people to shoot people in the aftermath of a natural disaster? What a great leader.

Ron Desantis is Governor who has no faith in the police or the people of his State.

Excellent! The sheriff has the sane PSA... Caught some already!

Love it! Wish they all had the balls he has!! If it was your home u would feel the same way!

Yah don’t steal you don’t die.

So what happens, when people are hungry or looking for food, and they get shot? Desantis cares little for people.

Good advice. Don’t loot.

He’s a domestic terrorist

Don’t give this tool any more air time.

This is like…such a low priority…but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that he considers this important give his poor track record

We need more men like this in positions of power, and we need them asap.

Wander if he had any damage to his home from the hurricane…

What RonDeSantisFL really wanted to say…

That trash should stay in gun free zones. Where the looting belongs

Basically, he is saying he favors the death penalty if someone takes food from a house that is in a scrap pile.

BRAVO

So he is saying Florida has a lot of criminals hmmm I guess he has failed.

leave it to the professional looters Ron hires.

Fuck yeah!

This man is as evil as Trump. What a conman.

Gonna make a great President!

Awesomeness 🥰

Yup, let’s find out!

All states are 2nd Amendment states......

Such a scumbag.

libertyladyusa King Hero

I love this guy..

Literally every state is a second amendment state.

Damn straight. Fuck around and find out.

Which is why they don’t deserve any of my empathy.

👍

Does Governor DeSantis mean looters along with 'scavengers'? I guess there's no FL taxpayer dollars to send Hurricane Victims to Martha's Vineyard as VPOTUS wouldn't (in kind) be able to send them to the local ICE Office.

lets let that sink in, this man is preaching to be tough on crime, while he constantly praises Trump, a man who stole top secret documents that endangered our national security and lets not forget incited a terrorist attack against our country.

Loot here, die here.

So his first thought is to threaten looters, instead of to show sympathy and support for the people who just lost their homes? Seems about right

So, a well regulated militia has the right to bare arms

He shouldn't just say it but he should encourage it.

I want my tax dollars back!

But it’s ok for him to loot your rights

There may be some Gay people in those homes Desantis🤨

America is a second amendment country, Florida is a ghost town now.

Well who wants to loot goods that are mold and water damaged

Love that guy.

What a mensch!!

💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸

Why he sounds so feminine?

Smdh

Why not try to be compassionate instead? Like, a message to people saying 'think of your fellow Floridians, your neighbors. Be kind and help one another out' or something along those lines? When can our politicians learn to be real leaders for once?

DamnRight

The default state in the US is that of looting as soon as there is any natural disaster. When the 2011 tsunami hit Japan, I don’t recall there being any looting. Just an observation. Carry on *finger guns wink*

That’s right! Go loot and burn down your own home

So this butthead issues a challenge?!

Hell yeah.

It's true 😉

God I love ❤️ this guy’s politics!!!!

With all those ‘stand your ground’ cases, who can forget?

You should have told that to Ashlie Babbitt before she broke into America's home.

Right On

I live in central Florida, We were hit by Hurricane Ian, Our neighbor hood still does not have utilities. I own a GUN. If you come in my home or on my property to steal my stuff make no mistake I WILL SHOOT YOU!!!!. Oh and my neighbors also own guns!!!!

It’s obvious the dude is in over his head.

Good? What's wrong with this? Don't steal people's shit and you won't get shot.

He’s not wrong

Wow- lets shoot someone trying to get a bottle of water...

Too bad nobody had a gun around when GovRonDeSantis looted Florida of millions to human traffic immigrants from TX to Martha’s Vineyard.

Now he's got y'all hypnotized and hysterical

What property? It all got washed away. Are they going after the soaking couches? Lol

he knows that this hurricane is going to be the end for him because those people will get nothing done for them, and he'll be ousted so he's just trying to placate to their ignorance to see if that works for him.

Said a whole lot of nothing 😂😂😂

Encouraging vigilantes?

All states are second amendment states… individual states don’t get to pick and choose which parts of the constitution they get to follow.

This is a dirtbag statement to air

StopTheStupid WeAreOneAmerica VoteBlue DefundDesantisVoteBlue

That’s right! You may get a blast from the pass.

He is a dope

Looters will find out the hard way that you have the right to defend yourself and your property.

“Don’t loot” . Dems :

Proud of you DeSantis! You Stand for the people. Thank goodness no hurricanes in Chicago, bc it would simply be chalked up to reparations if looting started!

Oh oh the 'defund the police' crowd is unhappy that some folks may not line up to be victimized by dirtbag scum of the earth criminals. Boo Fing Hoo.

Perfectly stated from a bully‘s point of view…

Damn right!

That certainly soothes the families of the 77 and counting DEAD Floridians...

There're 5.56 reasons not to loot at my house.

“Oh boy, a disaster and TV cameras! Time to politicize my state’s pain and suffering by making it a culture war moment”

Pretend Tough Guy Performance Artist says what?

One of these is lurking.

what a tough guy 🙄🙄🙄

Last time I checked, all of the Amendments apply to all of the states 🤷‍♂️

GovRonDeSantis stole 12 million from tax payers for a political stunt. Who’s looting who?

Perfectly well spoken. Thank you Ron DeSantis.

Good governance is there to remind people of their own power.

Tough guy! 😂

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

So pass out guns and bullets

So if he lurks around my house I can shoot him? I think that’s what he’s saying.

Well we know it’s not migrants right Coyote!

So, who is not a second amendment state, since that is in the US Constitution?

So now in the middle of a disaster DeSantis gets political while he has the ole socialist hand out begging for disaster aid again. This is becoming a yearly event in Florida. Should we send Trump in with the paper towels yet?

Law and order? Get the government in? Sounds a bit socialist doesn't it? Where's the survival of the fittest mindset?

SnoopTroopGoop Great way to de-escalate and bring people together RonDeSantisFL

SnoopTroopGoop What a fvcking 🤡

Well said. Sounds like words from a true leader.

His state is in shambles, and he mentions the 2nd amendment?

blah blah blah

Hell yeah!

Play games find out

DeSantis 2024 ❤️🇺🇸❤️

He is such a good Governor. ! Just a solid guy

Amen

When a leader speaks everybody listen.

That is leadership. The riots of 2020 were a disgrace.

Lurking behind someone's home ? What ? They got a howitzer ?

He should listen to his own advice.

He seems to be hoping for a rash of shootings.

Yep.

Everyone has the right to defend someone breaking into your home but thing with most people don’t need to brag about it or show it off in Christmas cards it doesn’t make you any Tougher

Is he serious? DeSantis sounds more concerned about personal property than lives.

He’s a tough guy right? What a joke

A Boss….

GOOD. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Those scumbags that would loot when people are missing and dying are the lowest of the low. Special place in hell for people like that

1. We all are 2nd Amendment states. Some of us are trigger-happy assholes, however. 2. I sure hope some first responder coming into a home doesn't get a cap in their ass because this low-voltage governor emboldened the use of a gun.

ok why is this news that he said this, are we supposed to be impressed or something

The greatest governor ever. If only we could be a 'minute' so lucky to have him, I live in Gretchen Whitmer land!

So not because it's theft and wrong but because his Republican ilk have zero problems murdering people.

That's what he's worried about?

weirdo

who says looters wont be strapped as well? I mean seriously.

A perfectly reasonable warning.

Right wingers are always for killing Americans first. We have a right to due process here in this country, but they want to skip that and go straight to extrajudicial killings. It's right wing nature to be bloodlusted, so it's no surprise to me.

He is a scum-filled posture living on the ass of Florida.

Way to go!

He’s gotta get his NRA promo in there so they send him campaign money

Every state is a second amendment state douche bag

I'm not sure DeSantis of all people wants to remind Floridians that they can protect themselves from thieves with the Second Amendment. If nothing else, he should try not to look surprised when they take him up on it...

So did he plant armed alligators to guard the property, who have questionable opinions on race. Based af

FL is 1 big pile of devastation, debris + junk. Here is ignoramus DeSantis talking about looting homes. Hurricane Ian has blown, waterlogged, torn, + thrown everything to kingdom come. DeSantis is concerned about material stuff, instead of mental, emotional, + physical health!

Joeshmo60915109 Please affix trigger warnings!

I'm declaring 'Martial Law' but for our law abiding responsible citizens of the great state of Florida... Oh Boy, he just signaled to every militia group to take matters into their own hands...

News flash: every state is a second amendment state. Some are just more responsible and mature than others.

Also don’t even think about filling for Florida unemployment.

And he’s absolutely right! It IS a second amendment state and anyone that even thinks of looting should stop themselves in their tracks before they get hurt or possibly killed. Looters are the lowest of the low and don’t deserve justice

Hey GovRonDeSantis wtf is a gun in an empty house gonna do?

So Govey DeathSentence is giving a wink and a nod to Billy Bob in the trailer park.

Isn’t every state a 2nd Amendment State?

He’s horrible

He loots the state treasury for human trafficking and his pedophile buddies.

He's inventing a distraction. Typical.

Oh boy

He’s so damn ugly.

I think he's being very nice to those that would loot.

“Gun collection.”

All 50 states are “second amendment states”… Dude is a clown. 😒

WISE WORDS that 'Looters' should take to mind.. I think the worst kind of person is one who STEALS something from someone who has little.. or THINKS that their possessions strewn on the ground are 'THERE FOR THE TAKING' !

He will be our next president

💯

mattgaetz

Anti-looter defense. Trained and Certified.

Don't ya know? In the old days, looters were shot on sight.

GOOD. Those folks have enough problems right now. They don't need someone looting what little they have left added to it.

Aren’t you about due to fly off to Cancun ?

Yeah, and they will loot the second amendment stuff too and who knows in which hands that stuff will end up.

Failure as an elected official. Failure as a Governor. No clue how to get Florida out of this devastating situation. He's failed Florida.

mattgaetz Exactly!

Are any states NOT 2nd amendment states? Does he not know that?

KaydeeKing The Gunshine State

He’s pretty much saying “Fu*k around and find out” & I’m here for it. If you wanna loot it tells me that you value someone else’s shit more than your own life. Good luck!

What a jerk!

Big-time fascist has big-time fascist gaslighting thoughts

I like this

DeSantis cant blame the immigrants since he shipped them out already....

Yet he’s the one that’s looting and steals peoples rights in Florida

Da fuck u laughing about

God forbid he should lead through inspiration rather than fear. That would be so …Democrat.

Haha so funny.

Who's hiding behind those homes? Is it Junior and Eric? Dean Cane, Kevin Sorbo, Chachi, and Joh Voight? What about your Proud Boys and Oath Keepers? Thanks for warning us never to come to Florida

mattgaetz FLORIDA | At least 77 dead in Ian's wake.

Stand your ground state...more importantly

I’m fairly certain all 50 states are 2nd Amendment states.

Dog whistle ! But also just scared away all the help bozo! God bless the elderly that’s gonna be all alone … “looter free” lol smh

Guess she thought that was funny? What a fucked up World we live in🙃

I’m guessing the looting he’s worried about are the millionaires on the island since he’s talking about boats. Don’t want none of them getting robbed. Let’s not worry about the ones on land with nowhere to stay and limited funds.

Please don’t call on people sense of dignity and sense of community. Instead… threaten them… what a douche!

Appreciate all GovRonDeSantis is doing for Floridians.

So I’m hearing there are lots of guns to steal.

I love this guy! Finally a leader that is out to protect the law abiding citizens! God bless him!

Never heard the saying “you loot we shoot”?

Every state is a second amendment state you bigoted bulbous buffoon. RonDeSantis FloridaMan hurricaineIan secondamendment

jim_sinclairjr Remember folks, Insurance companies are broke in FL. Don't think for a nano sec lots of insured jewelry/high end goods were reported lost during prior storms, that weren't lost. That too is a form of looting, is it not?

Dangerously Based/Come and Take it-pilled

Democrats would just put up a 'gun-free zone' sign.

Bish, you looted 12 million dollars of taxpayer money for a cruel and pointless political stunt. 🤡🤡🤡

Good way to scare away volunteers.

It’s called F*ck around and find out!

The left is consistently interested in people, the right is interested in property.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 With out 2A there be NO 1A

That is so true!!

ron being a gentile definitely has NOTHING to do with this statement

Damn straight! Why do you think ANTIFA punks aren't trying crap in Florida.

.GovRonDeSantis apparently thinks the Amendments of the US Constitution are controlled by states. All states are 2ndAmendmentStates Ron. But only some states leave their citizens at greater risk of mass shootings because there is no sensible guncontrol RaiseTheAge

Just, wow. So he's advocating for...murder?

He is soooooooo cringe 😬 douchey

All of Desantis’ hurricane news conferences are ordinarily handled by the state’s Emergency Mgmt Director. He’s just doing it for photo opportunities. And now, he’s speculating.

Of course he uses a hurricane to promote guns..

I would expect nothing less from this fascist demagogue. A wise and thoughtful governor would encourage people to stay calm and to look out for each other. He would inspire hope, not give a condoning wink to gun violence.

That’s right! A locked door is for the protection of people on the outside!!!!!! Suck it bleeding heart liberals!

So first responders better beware no Ron, thanks

This guy is such a joke.

About damn time someone stands up for it’s residents. Unlike Seattle and Portland. Take your woke shit and go somewhere else!!!!

DeSantis. Looks tough. If you keep the mute on. Hear his voice, though and you hear a third grade teacher.

What a way to bring people together thru this tough time,reminding us of the 2nd amendment. Thanks Governor

You never know what may be lurking inside that ballot box on election day, Sir Ronno.

So the construction worker who forgot his lunch pail could be shot on sight? I'm confused.

That's an American all star leader! 🔥 De'santis!🔥

Umm k, Which places don’t have 2nd amendment

I love the left being upset that people can't loot after an emergency. But if they are the victims they cry government didn't stop it.

There are 50 states governed by the Constitution. Right? What did I miss?

Death threats...his state is in literal shambles and he's making death threats.

Hate the dude but i agree with what he is saying! Its just sad that it needs to be said.

CharlieCrist I hope you're writing this stuff down for the debate.

Desantis is the MAN! 2024!!!!

Florida has guns, everyone. So everyone can stand down!! Guns will fix this.

True to form. The devil has only one mind set!

Trash panda

At always goes back to the same catchphrase’s even when people are in need he wants to talk about guns. What in the actually F is wrong with these people.

He’s baaack!

Thanks for reminding the looters to bring their weapons too. DeSantisDestroysFlorida

mattgaetz He’s great !!!!

And a Stand Your Grown state

That's why DeSantis is for America and The People!

Well everyone is talking about guns and looting, instead of why desantis isn't bussing folks to shelters.

I seem to recall him looting $12 million from the taxpayers not 2 weeks ago. Pot and kettle and such.

people who loot are usually democrats so that's why lib news media gets triggered

Hopefully BLM isn't roaming Florida with their with 'peaceful' marches like on the streets of NYCity.

Good!

'...we're just not a 1st Amendment state.'

He's right , you are putting your life on the line by trying to get into someone's home . We will shoot you !!!! It will be bad day , it is our 2nd amendment right ,storm or no storm .

I live in Florida and I hate him so very much

Why doesn’t he bus all of the folks that lost their homes over to Mar-a-loco?

The comment section is crazy. Forget he said anything, how can people be ok with people braking into houses?

Hell yeah. Americans should have every right to protect themselves and their property.

Every state is a second amendment state!!!! Did you even go to school?

Cbs su_ks

He can only lead with fear....what a vile, little man.

I didn’t know the second amendment was a state law.

Love this man 🙏🙏🙏🥰🇺🇸

mileslunn your opinion of him maybe topple Trump in 2024? I’d say very likely, and Newsom would also likely replace Biden if Joey is still unpopular.

Vilolence and Guns… that’s your GOP

I don't believe the 2nd Amendment means shoot people for stealing your stuff.

🤮 RonDeSantisFL

He's 100% right, if you trashy enough to try to rob people or loot through this crap, people will defend what little they have left

DeSantis looks GOOD. Holy heck

ejswensson DESANTIS FOR PRESIDENT!

Is there anything politicians say publicly any more that isn’t just for effect? I think no. And all of the people that bite. Yikes. That’s why they do it.

He's been all friendly with the President, so now he has to be all gqp-ish!

Okay tough guy.

Thought you weren’t going to politicize this. Huh. Btw, all 50 states are 2nd amendment states. Not sure if you knew that.

Oh. 'Don't steal, because someone MAY shoot you.' That's a great 'policy.'

Every state is a second amendment state.

He may not be the Politician you want, but he's the Politician we all need.

Nothing slightly amusing about this

Just in case you didn’t hate Ron DeSantis enough, there is this.

It's illegal to shoot someone for theft.

'The more you f*** around, the more you'll find out'

Don't make me send in my personal goon squad you don't want that 'cause they have itchy trigger fingers

Death threats following a deadly disaster are just what the world doesn't need today. His state is benefiting from the kindness of the entire nation. How about a little humility.

Can't really stomach him.

He is so awful. But what does that say about his voters?

Looters that are coming into Florida are coming from everywhere and they're not nice guys so yeah you have a right to deter and protect yourself.

That’s awesome!

He is ridiculous.

Good bless Ron! What an example he sets for other governors! I wish GovJanetMills wasn’t so useless. She could learn something.

So his solution is to commit a crime by using deadly force to end life of suspected thief? We know looting is wrong, but shooting unarmed looters is even worse.

f*cked up

So...stand your ground...but if you feel like that ground extends for your entire neighborhood - have at it. And while we're at it...

Wink wink…he is telling White Klan “Go and shoot colored people. I will cover it” what a racist bastard.

With all those guns you do need to issue safety warnings once in a while

Does DeSantis realize he’s suggesting potential looters are armed to the teeth?

You loot a home, you can and should be met with deadly force. Period.

New Reps. Ron DeSantis, Ted Yoho vote against Hurricane Sandy aid

👍🏽

In other words, Fuck Around & Find Out

mattgaetz This guy is a freakmason isnt he. Not really a good guy. It's just one big pantomime.

Maybe they should've used that ammendment against the Hurricane

🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤

So ppl should stop going through their neighborhoods to help rescue ppl & animals in case the are mistaken for a looter🤔

mattgaetz DeSantis pretty much just declared open season on any Black man trying to help out in the disaster

BOSS

God I love this man

Holy shit, very based energy.

What a loser

Yes pls don’t act like the Blue States,burning places down, stealing, shooting ppl !!! RESPECT your State it is your Home 🏡

kill each other off?

I’m fairly certain that the Constitution applies to all fifty states.

The B_ _S got informed of the consequences....

Ron DeSantis paid a private contractor Vertol systems aircraft solutions 950,000 (Florida tax payer dollars) to transport 48 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard from Texas that’s $19,791.00 per migrant (The average airline ticket one way to Martha’s Vineyard from Texas is $392)

True, do ALL of your looting/crime in New York, California & Illinois, no guns so you have entire states of victims. Oh you already got the memo? 👌🏿

Open season on looters

mattgaetz Best governor ever!!!!!!I’m here in sw Florida now and things are moving smoothly and he’s awesome

mattgaetz What Traitor GovRonDeSantis really did, with a moron's idea of being a tough man, is put the lives of responders in danger. & informed the real looters that they'll have to also exercise their 2nd Amendment rights. Not surprising Traitor mattgaetz retweeted this.

mattgaetz Good message. Don’t be a scum bag loser and try to rob peoples homes and lives

How about, 'You don't know if structures are safe,' seeing as teenagers could be nosying around out of curiosity or think they're helping by looking for survivors or someone could be seeking food/water. They thrive on violent rhetoric.

mattgaetz Desantis is right here. Remember, Democrats encourage looting and even raised money to bail out rioters.

So, really what he's saying is, 'as long as you're white and say that you're defending yourself, you're good. It's open season.'

'We're a Second Amendment state' so long as you have the proper license.

Aborting looters is just pro-choice. In both cases one human being is deciding to kill another. One is killing based on protecting his home and property and the other is sniffing out an unwanted innocent little baby.

Conservatives and their obsession with shooting poor and desperate people in hypothetical scenarios

Let’s report when he does something substantially useful.

So, don't check on people? They might kill you?

Good

DeSantis is a SOCIALIST. He gladly accepted FEDERAL money from Biden to help his state. He’s a classic Hypocrite

Awesome!!!!!! Play stupid games win stupid prizes!

mattgaetz Looting is bad.

GrettaGraceland FuckAroundAndFindOut

Is this a threat.

I thought all 50 states fell under the second amendment

DeSATANis the worst Governor in FL history, period. He's campaigning for the dumb among us.

RonDeSantisFL Has big brass balls! Good bless him!

he is not wrong when he says you don't know whats lurking in someone's home. a python a gator a monitor lizard

This would be illegal.

Some of us have pet snakes and gators too

What exactly is a 2nd amendment state?

Not because it is just wrong and a scumbag thing to do. But because you may get shot from some gun toting psycho. Got it.

Interesting that a governor is damn near endorsing vigilantism.

Rescuers now have to worry about being shot for looking in damaged homes for people? Is he trying to stop rescues?

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has made it clear you need a permit to shoot a looter. But they also said they are free and you can download one after you’ve shot the looter.

So he is telling people shoot first. Ask questions later. Good luck Florida

I thought I heard DeSantis saying he wanted to keep politics out of this!!!! BTW,

So glad I didn’t move to Florida.

Sellout Neofascism of the 1%

With all those alligators, maybe it's a good thing to be a 2A state for a while.

The man

Loot Here Die Here...

Crazy that murdering looters is something the governor is greenlighting... Just fucking crazy

Read this out loud and my 16 yo said, “Isn’t every state a 2nd amendment state?” My teenager would make a better Governor.

Just means you have a license to kill

The second amendment does not protect those who murder others.

When it comes to disasters both natural and ma made, Republicans always, without fail, find a way to blow my mind with the utterly insane direction their perspectives go. Peoples homes are destroyed and you’re scolding them for hypothetically looting?

Damn straight

Someones meth lab might be stolen oh no

All the hot takes and straw men in these replies are awesome. Keep doing your thang twitter!

This guy again

Love this leader!!!! 👊

To anyone who hasn't been through a hurricane have no idea what happens the days that follows, I went through Andrew for those with short memory let me remind you after Andrew there was looting, violence, sexual assaults, so this is just a reminder.

❤️🇺🇸

The sad part is many other governors will support the looters and I’m not even sure if DeSantis would pardon anyone charge for protecting themselves from looters

so what you’re saying is: “a lot of nasty shithole thieves live in your state and they will rob everyone blind when they are at their lowest”. But ya… MOVE TO FL!

Based! FAFO

Your also a first amendment state. What happened there?

NeckTooRed 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

SMDH

I be more worried about the gators than guns

Because you’re a stupi d state, expect fewer volunteers.

Unlike Florida, we didn't need gun-toting vigilantes after Irene or Sandy.

He’s right though.

THIS is where I need to live! Actual rules and punishments !

Thank you 😁. I knew RonDeSantis has our back!

What the actual fuck? I can’t wait to vote him out

Uhm. Every state has the second amendment. Did you attend school?

Well, that didn't take long...

New Florida State Motto! Goodbye: 'Welcome to the Sunshine State' Hello: 'Florida, Behave, We're a 2nd Amendment State'

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is why their have not been cities destroyed by riots in Florida. You are welcome. 2ndAmendment AmericaFirst LetsGoBrandon

Does “looting” include letting a politically connected private utility double and triple electricity rates in exchange for PAC contributions?

GovRonDeSantis warning Floridians to watch out for his supporters looting their homes. You can’t make this crap up.

Natch…free political ad during a humanitariin crisis.

🎯👏👏👏👏

libsoftiktok libs are actually mad about this

Real leadership

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Are there states where the Second Amendment doesn't apply? Can I move there?

Great stuff.

He could just send all the hurricane victims to Rhode Island. Problem solved.

Technically, all 50 states are '2nd Amnd' states. That's literally how it works. What he's really saying is 'I tacitly give permission for homeowners, their neighbors, and wandering strangers to shoot you if they think your criming. Hope your not a minority, cuz, well, it's FL.'

The hero we need but don’t deserve

Yep

This is the guy i want leading us.

Imagine preaching cold blooded murder everyday and this guy just gets away with it.

He’s so gross

Mostly offends white liberals.

GovRonDeSantis needs to be President in 2024

1) UBI 2) UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE 3) SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIES STANDARDS that regulate ALL industries INCLUDING the military industrial complex. GeneralStrike

It seems clear to me that electing Desantis governor of a state was a big mistake. He's not a good leader. It furthers my belief that conservative voters have become very unwise on their attitudes about government and disconnected from their values.

He's doing a gun nut commercial not a public service announcement

Why does he constantly try to frighten people?

libertyladyusa 👊❤️🇺🇸

our next Vice President and then Two Term President

Well he just invited anyone to use Ian as an excuse to kill people. Those boats he’s talking about are saving people’s lives, now they have to worry about getting shot!

What's 'lurking behind someone's home' after a hurricane ? A damn gator ? A Burmese Python ? A body ? Come on now....🙄

So people rescuing other people's animals shouldn't do it because they could get shot? 🤨 Florida priorities, huh.

Two thang says another photo opt huh Ron for all you peoples affected by Ian paying all those taxe dollar where the hell is my government get to work now Ron

The man who steals regularly is warning that only he is entitled to that…..pathetic

is it the Kraken lucking behind the house?

So when a first responder doing a house-to-house check gets shot, can DeSatan be charged with accessory to murder? Ridiculous, I know. But so is he.

No Governor. We’re a state that believes in every part of the Constitution. Unlike you and your blind followers most Floridians don’t have tunnel vision and instead respect the entire document and what it stands for.

He should be out there helping people. Deliver some meals to those without power, water to those without, setting up shelters. Instead he instills fear, talks about guns and gets himself on camera again. Selfish loser. Guns aren’t feeding you or flushing the toilet

Why did every Florida House Republican vote against additional disaster aid yesterday?

Karen in the background!! …Pursed lips; the slight expression of glee when she feels powerful and superior allied with the “right” team…this Karen is the real deal; the genuine article.

So, what happens when a volunteer gets mistakenly shot?

Wow, what a guy

We know DeathSantis…. Looting is bad, is there anything else you’d like to discuss or handle?

🌹 I did not realize that looting and theft carried the death penalty. 🤔

He's with holding aid to those in Ft Myers. That should be headline news, no?

Fuck around and find out !

What exactly is a Second Amendment state? Like, is the amendment available selectively? What a goofball.

Great leader. Give the power to the people, protect your family. I’m sorry Family is a forbidden word for democrats

I am a Dem, voting blue always. But come on, a governor warning against a criminal act during a crisis shouldn’t be a negative. There are other hills to climb!

warning a hurricane is coming: Okay warning don't loot after hurricane: Racist

Satan is speaking to the poor people.

Nobody is out looting. This is just an excuse to let cops drive around all day instead of doing something useful and a way to instill fear & paranoia in the residents. 'Thank goodness those brave police are here protecting us from our scary fellow citizens.'

Reminding people, while they're coping with terrible trauma, to remember their neighbors are not to be trusted, and don't hesitate to shoot to kill. Welcome to The Purge. DeathSantis FloridaMan

Why didn’t he just say, “Looters will be shot on sight.” That’s how it was in the good old days…in fact through most of human history looters got no mercy and no quarter. That’s how you stop looting.

We need governors like him in every state in America!

We can all agree that it's a good thing that Florida hates Socialism that way the rest of us don't have to pay for them building trailer parks in areas hit by hurricanes every single year. Good luck with pulling yourselves up by the bootstraps. Don't call for FEMA

Beat Governor ever! Dam straight Florida is a second amendment state

Liberals will be triggered So fun to watch

Best governor

The great thing about Florida being a [sic] 2A state is that homeowners can return to their houses and be shot at by the looters who aren't quite finished looting.

I can’t wait to not see him ugh

I am sure that’s peoples priority right now looting. GovRonDeSantis for once do your job and stop interviewing for the White House 2024. Also only Republicans support your publicity stunts.

Love him!!!! 👊👊👊👊

Ah yes. Veiled threats during a natural disaster. Klassy.

A much better way to send this message than Tr*mp’s “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” LFG Ron

That is what real leadership looks like. Desantis2024

I missed the clause in the Bill of Rights about the right to murder indiscriminately

🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is how you lead. 🇺🇸

Good people of Florida This alpha hotel has to go. Under all of the burdens that you guys are going through this guy is being political by playing up to the NRA his big campaign donors. Dump this clown.

fair statement

Looters and rioters during natural disasters should be shot!

He sure scored some political points with that one, didn’t he?

You do realize the 2nd amendment is for all States…

Love him. The best governor in America.

This is all I see when I see your lips moving...

People here defending looters smh If more looters got shot there would be less looting

What an worthless bullshitter . There s nothing left to loot after a cat 5 hurricane

I hope this man becomes President one day.

You loot we shoot.

Anyone who was considering volunteering for relief is now having second thoughts.

All so freaking sad.

Remember folks. Live in constant fear of your neighbor.

I love this man’s care of his citizens! He works tirelessly and smartly for all the law abiding people in his state.

Florida … where guns have more rights than women.

Fuck yeah

🫡👍💪

DeSantis implies looters may be shot by second amendment gun owners in Florida.

So he needs a civics lesson.

Every Republican who supported 45, looked the other way on the big lie, filing baseless lawsuits, soliciting officials for votes & “doing the right thing”, then instigating an insurrection & taking those documents needs be voted out office!

Got fucks sake. All state are 2nd amendment states. We are in America.

Thank you Gov DeSantis!!

So, is this his way of saying POC shouldn't come and help out because they might be mistaken for 'looters', and, well, Florida will take care of 'looters'? He hasn't been able to be blatantly racist in this campaign, so he had to take a shot somewhere.

❤️🙏🏻🔫

Don't even think about it! Don't be Lurking haha oh Santie.. 🤨🤨

Human bobble head, says what?

Love all the DeSantis haters. He says why most ppl think and feel.

Best Gov GovRonDeSantis 👏

As much as I hate him, this seems like pretty prudent advice. Although we know he's insinuating the looters to be brown people when we all know the real looters are going to be $70K truck Gen x contractor guy or white trailer park denizens (both Trump voters).

This guy is the WOAT

This is rich coming from the guy who violates the constitution regularly.

Alligators

RonDeSantis 'don't steal from people or you might get shot ' Democrats 'steal stuff from people because they don't deserve it anyway'

What a trash network choosing that one quote instead of others in the press conference, disgusting.

What the fk is a “2nd amendment state”? Is that the only amendment DeSantis respects?

When will DeSantis stop whining like a child and start Governing like a Governor for all Floridians?

davereaboi Democrats are beyond reproach that they’ll side with looters taking advantage of people after a hurricane.

I hope people have some principles to not loot. I doubt if this message would go far in Detroit or in New Orleans.

After most hurricanes, “Looters will be shot” signs pop up everywhere. Would hate to try it to see if they mean it.

I wish Tony Evers of Wisconsin was more like this leader of a state. A guy that protects the rights and freedoms of true Americans.

Based.

I so wish he was our Governor here in Oregon. Instead, we have Brown. God bless Governor DeSantis, his team and all of the affected citizens and First Responders in Florida.

Plenty of guns, just no electricity, water, roads, hospitals.....

Psycho

Sadly, school children are just as likely as looters to be shot in RonDeSantisFL ‘s “2nd amendment state”. Also, the 2nd amendment applies in every state, but not every state fetishizes vigilante justice & guns like FL.

Yup 🙌

🤦🏽‍♂️unnecessary bs he is spewing now. Fl residents always assume everyone is armed here. So wild west is coming to a town near you. Stop wasting money on political stunts and provide more security🤷🏾‍♂️ paying ot when is necessary.

Best Governor in the Country!

outstanding

HARDOOOOOOOO

loot his house

So there are a LOT of opportunities for looting guns. GovRonDeSantis

It’s violence and fear all the time with these right wingers. Full-out fascism on display.

Loot Walmart instead

Ron 😪

Where is looting happening?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

MZHemingway GovRonDeSantis ChristinaPushaw ByronYork The Left/media is going to go ballistic over this.

Every state has the Second Amendment! But thanks for clarifying .

Ron Desantis rules for living: 1) never miss an opportunity to be an asshole 2) see rule 1

Water is the problem here, not guns or looting guvbro 🌊

Awesome! We need more of this. Don’t take advantage of hurricane victims. Looters are trash.

Good

This is good advice.

2nd amendment, not to be confused with self sufficient.

Nice!

Why didn't he used the 2nd amendment to fend off hurricane Ian?.

Based!

This man belongs in prison.

Law and order. Great!

He should concentrated on getting Aid to people.

Atta boy Gov. DeSantis. You are awesome

Yep those alligators, crocodiles whatever else in that water will be lurking behind you, they looking for something to eat, hopefully he don't end up in one of those situations ,' Second Amendment my ass' 'We all have the right to arm.' I don't like that man.

Last I checked, all states are second amendment states. The shame here in florida is that people feel the need to walk around pulling out their second amendment protected weapons when someone even looks at them sideways.

Very proud of my Governor GovRonDeSantis !!

You love to see it

LETS GO!! second amendment put too the test …

America needs 50 governors like him!!

Mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine At any cost. That's the philosophy. The get off my lawn party.

Is looting a real problem in hurricane devastated areas, or simply justification for more DeSantis' culture wars? In disaster conditions, responsibility of leaders is to calm, a reflection which doesn't seem to cross the mind of the Governor.

He has to threaten people with guns and death, not by reminding them they should act like decent human beings or with arrest.

That guy is a terrorist

Good man.

He most likely saved someone's life with that message. Nice little friendly reminder.

Right. How many guns are in the rubble from the storm?

😍 - please rescue New York City and similar shitholes.

What a 🤡 He’s an atrocious leader and Floridians would’ve been better served with someone who didn’t squander tax paying dollars on a theatrical stunt which endangered human lives.

davereaboi

Mimi_LovingLife That is applied to every home in every state. Keep America 'Friendly'

Liberals are upset that he’s reminding people not to steal other people’s stuff?

In the state of Florida you never know what may be lurking in Gov't offices in Tallahassee!

Really, Florida is a real hard place to like, especially if you’re not from Florida.

Funny thing is this is a dog whistle comment. But I wonder what will be said for whites trying to loot blk people's home and those blk people exercise their 2nd amendment rights. My parents live in Florida and are legal...registered gun owners.

But yet people voted for this w⚓️

Bruh what if I just wanted water why you telling people to kill victims of a natural disaster. Sounds about white.

I don't normally agree with DeSantis, but this is a sensible warning.

All states are Second Amendment states.

I rememeber when the death sentence was reserved for murderers... Shame it applies to theft now too.

Should people be building so close to sea. Should they be allowed to build back in the same damaged low line areas. Have common sense & revisit the building codes. Pin the foundations into the ground from concrete & steel, with higher foundations. Window being higher.

Doesn't he realize EVERY STATE is a 2A state? It's kind of in the constitution ya know.

Yeah that’s it. Homeowners are lurking in their own homes that lost its roof and is flooded and they’re just waiting for Eazy-E to come try to steal shit.

Love this guy

We need leaders like this.

One great governor

I am afraid what will happen if people mistake actual homeowners salvaging their belongings to looters

Amen looting is wrong, no justification.

idk what the 2nd amendment has to do with that but yeah, don't loot someone's home... OBVIOUSLY

Now he has democrats siding with people who loot from hurricane victims. Brilliant

blavigne8 When Ida hit. My neighbors and I banded together. Moved our freezers into one house to be ran off the generator. No power during the day. Fridges and freezers and fans running at night. HIGHLY armed. Guns were drawn and no shots fired. Work together Florida!!!

Wat a disgusting mobster. To think that Floridians vote for this man is disgusting. As a society politicians like this feed on the fears of people for their own gains. Instead of calling to our angels he seeks out and promotes behaviors that at a time like this are not happening.

My governor is amazing!!!

JackPosobiec

I'll bet none of those looters are migrants.

Goat

AWFUL human and AWFUL governor

😂... Too bad it's gonna happen anyways... Society's gone to shyte... 😥

Like The Looters Are Not Armed! A Lot Of 'em Are, And May The Best Man Stay Alive!

Pretty sure I’m not the first person to say it, but the US Constitution applies to all states.

Says the king if looters in the state

I thought you flew all of the deplorables to Martha's Vineyard.

Guys the man

Bull, Florida does not recognize my pistol permit from New York. They're not a2nd amendment state.

GovDeSantis is going to loot all the FEMA funds coming to help the victims of the hurricane. Already collected 12 million dollars in one account under his wife's name. Watch the space!

Thankfully I live in a 15th amendment state, because you never know what might be a lurking suppression..

Are there any states that aren’t 2A states? I’ll wait….🤣🤣 What a clown

He needs to be removed.. Threatening people is not ok

We love him here in Florida. Best Governor in America…. He’s right too

Love him! Why can’t all politicians be like him

Democrats could learn something from Ron !

Awesome governor!

Hell yes, this guy just says all the right things.

works for the Democrat National Committee.

that_denver Best Governor ever

Leave it to DeSantis to turn a tragedy into something political. Haven't we as a nation had enough of this inflammatory talk?

Yes Mr president DeSantis

This guy, don’t think about flying people to another state and lying to them. 🙄

😘

And Florida is the only free state also. This guy is a tool

God Bless Governor DeSantis! Greatest Governor ever

Be careful not to ask people you don't know for something as you may be shot .

👏👏

That means my friend, is do it an your ass will get shot down, same here in South Carolina. We don’t put up with that bullshit!!!

Good for Governor DeSantis.

So, anyone looking to volunteer in the rescue should rethink that... You could be shot in the face for trying to help... And it will be your fault in FL.

TrixieRobinson4 Say it straight! Hopefully they heed your warning!

He's such a putz.

Yes! AmericasGovernor MakeAmericaFlorida 2A

Some people do need a reminder to keep their hands off other people and other peoples property.

civil_unrest21 Love DeSantis

Maybe if Gov. DerpSantis hadn’t wasted so much time and money on his bullshit cultural wars, his red-state shithole would be better prepared for a major national disaster that happens multiple times every year. Just a thought.

Even in the midst of a catastrophe, where the better angels of human nature tend to emerge for the sake of mutual aid, the aspiring head of the GOP reflexively pines for gun violence. This should surprise no one.

Yep!

Seems like you need the second amendment after a hurricane.

He should be concentrating on the tends of thousands of displaced Floridians who literally have nothing left to loot.

Gators could be lurking 😳

You know liberals hate what he just said!

This man never misses an opportunity to politicize a natural disaster. SMH.

*applicable to entire Gulf Coast but point taken

First class racist idiot needs better writers, every state is a second amendment state, now go back to lurking behind peoples houses you pervert.

remember when Ron vaccinated wealthy neighborhoods first during Covid, wonder where recovery will be concentrated?

Balls of steel

When the looter didn’t listen to the Governor and starts trying to break his way in.

So basically Volunteers beware you may get murdered if you try help out.

He's telling you what he would do, how he thinks. He's a looter, a shooter.

I swear he looks giddy about the attention he’s getting.

Second amendment? You’re the ancient reptile and giant spider state.

The whole damn country has the 2nd amendment 😡

🙄

Hey RonDeSantisFL the Constitution applies to all the states. Only Republican states think more guns are better. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

I thought the 2nd amendment applied to all states.

Maybe they could have shot Ian and killed him before he broke into their homes.

Shhhhh don’t tell them lol. Was hoping to bag a few “looters” this weakend he he

Politicians gonna politick.

💜

If I see a looter, I definitely view my stuff, or my neighbors stuff, as way more important than their life. If fact, I don't view the lives of thieves as having any value and therefore wouldn't have any moral quandary shooting them.

Damn straight

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

Arrogant Cracker

Yay Politics !!!

Ron DeCastro: Death penalty for stealing a TV. You can’t be a “Second Amendment state” and a “pro-life state.” BTW, Ronnie, the Constitution applies in every state.

We Love Ron DeSantis ❤️ Florida Strong💪🏻🇺🇸 God Bless 🙏🏻 Search And Recovering Of The Freedom State🇺🇸 2Amendment🇺🇸

libertyladyusa Not like New Orleans after Katrina

He’s right again

Beautiful

Basically

Ever the fear monger. Please, people of Florida end this man’s political career.

That's a great way to get folks not to go help folks who may need help.

People are not even thinking about that. This guy should be trying to help the state and get our money back that he paid for people to fly from Texas to Boston. That’s what he needs to be trying to figure out.

Mr tough guy. Cannot wait to vote him OUT

Based

He's a baaaaad man. Go Ron Go.

Second Amendment is based!

goat statement

Threats, so helpful

Beautiful. FA, FO.

This ridiculous interview is what you publicize? DeSantisDestroysFlorida

Absolutely.

Not for nothing, but in a state in which everyone has a gun, won’t the looters have guns too?

Umm most or majority states can own a gun to protect their home that’s nothing new lol. Desantis is a clown

Like righteous, virtuous citizens are the only ones armed…

Does this scare you?

Republicans would never give democrats a compliment, but he is doing a good in this situation That’s what executive do. Dons not happy

What’s up with conservatives being so dick hard about hypothetically justifiable homicide.

It's Florida. You just know somebody tried to shoot the hurricane 😆🤣

Oh so topical of DeSantis ! Like guns can float in 12 foot storm surge ……

ChristinaPushaw What a great governor! Walz in MN let criminals damage our cities for months in 2020.

👊

Traitor GovRonDeSantis is such a fvcking moron.

I wondered hold long it would take for him to turn back into a bully and a jerk. It did not take long.

Don’t agree with him all the time , but he’s leading the way you have to in a crisis.

DeSantis is supplying fear porn for his Republican chumps.

True dat!🇺🇸

If you break in for the jewelry, you must first face the claymore roomba

All gop talk about is fear. They can't lead a parade let alone a state that needs to rebuild.

The biggest looters in the state are the FLGOP

This excuse of a human being is so repulsive!

CBS You are to far left 4 me. D's trying to make US 'Socialist' Nation, everything is in funk--fighting another nation's war, inflation/recession, high debt, high cost of rent/homes & food, cars & no raise in salary.

Fear is of the devil..

Good advice

This doesn't bring out the best in people talking this way with the second amendment threats.

Nice! Gotta toss some chum out to the base! Class all the way. 🤦‍♂️

I agree with him….. criminals are always going to criminal unless there are deterrents. Don’t steal it’s that simple

DeSantis 2024!!!

Are there states that aren’t?

Good for him

KinelRyan Mad Lad

OleTimeHardball Whenever I hear DeSantis talk

Sounds like he's approving open season on anyone 'looting'.

This is something he'd do evidently.

Lol, awesome, people need to know there are real consequences to committing crime.

Aren’t we all Second Amendment states, doughboy?

Every state has the 2nd Amendment. DeSantis cannot grasp it that Democrats have guns too.

Yes!!

Texas also communicated a warning to looters

Love this guy! He’s going to be a great President.

Every governor should strive to be as outstanding as Mr. DeSantis.

Encouraging the shooting and looting

Please god someone mistakes him for a looter and uses their 2nd amendment to the fullest of force🙏

So community policing 😁

Heard a couple of scumbags from Mass. talking about going down to loot the victims. Sick.

Wow, 'given that we are a Second Amendment State'. Thank goodness he's not my governor.

what a man

ChristinaPushaw Good!

I can’t wait until my Governor becomes President in 2024. Someone will support victims and not criminals. Reestablish the rule of law. Close our border. Fight against the far left lunacy that has infected our society. And reverse the catastrophic economic policies of Biden.

People are begging for water, food and gas on FB. Where is this man from?

In other words. Fck around and find out.

Damn right! Good on Gov DeSantis!

Mini Mussolini seems unable to refrain from Mussolini-ing even amidst a catastrophic natural disaster in his state. While huge swaths of Florida are devastated, when Aunt Mabel’s silver teapot has been blown or washed into another county, he invokes violence.

“When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:” Luke 11:21 KJV

Great governor!

US need more DeSantis. A dominican bodeguero was jailed because he killed a robber that assaulted him in NY. Apparently criminal lives are more important than law abidding citizens in blue cities.

Best governor ever!

What an arrogant AH!

Don't loot homes during the Hurricane -- you can do it afterwards !! 😂😆😅😂

Good.

ChristinaPushaw Based

So much for a law and order state. I though red states followed the law, why would there be looting?

Making death threats to people ! Yikes

We need more leaders like the man !!!! Wake up America

👍👍

So he's threatening his fellow Floridians?

Jackass

Really! Cause Threats have always deterred people! His state needs help but he n other Repubs basically ‘looted’ other’s state aid by voting NO when they needed help for same reason!That their time would come never deterred them!

Good. People should defend their home and belongings from thieves.

Lol

ANYONE who loots is scum. Deserves the “reward “ they get

Good stuff 👍

Amen Don’t take advantage of people when they’re down. You play, you pay.

deepelych

The comments in this thread are pure comedy. The now-failing-around-the-world PC globalist mind rot is real

Good.

About time

Oh no, he citing the 2nd amendment… what a radical leader 😂💦

You're gd right

He should have phrased that as a pro second amendment state. We know basically what states are anti second amendment ones too. See the color blue to help out with that.

He looks like a turd...

Damn! I love it!!! Nothing is more American than the god given right to protect your family and property against democrats!!!

Based.

I wish he was my Governor!

People, don't fret over your wet stuff being looted. Let it go. You don't want to lose your life over it because.... looters have guns too. You know.... it's a 2nd Amendment state. FloridaMan floridamanwithagun

Good for him

That’s 100% correct. The castle law is alive and well in Florida. ❤️ Gov. DeSantis.

BDE!!!

1) looting generally happens when ppl are economically or politically oppressed. weird flex to admit 2) he could have addressed this in a unifying positive way like 'Floridians are all in this together & I don't expect any looting or theft. Now is the time for unity'

Is and always has been

Every state is a Second Amendment state

Seriously… something tells me that looters aren’t impressed by second amendment and probably don’t have a clue what it means

GREAT! CBS stay away from FLORIDA. NOCBS FCBS

Yea same nuts didnt evacuate because they probably need to protect their guns

Aren’t all 50 states second amendment states?

FOFO

Um, but don't people usual loot homes and businesses that have been abandoned? Does the gun just go off on its own? Maybe there's a trip wire?

Yup, violence is an acceptable tool in the Republican playbook!

He’s a posturing propagandist . We all have the 2nd MrToad

I was wondering how DeSantis has been managing the crisis in Florida. I haven't been paying attention but here he is slipping in a little GOP endorsement for himself. He's just gross. VoteHimOut VoteBlueIn2022

Fact! Blow their brains off if anyone come into your home trying to steal. 💯 agree

RON DE SAVGE !!!!!!!!!!!😍😍

Based. This guy is a total chad

oops ... what is his intention? All the fascists can do is describe only the worst evil and stir up fears!

He better not come to my state. I have a ditch with his name on it.

I'm leftist as hell, and don't like Ron, but this is completely valid to say. Looters deserve the violence they get.

Of course, GovRonDeSantis is a fascist who supports murdering poor people.

Based Based Based

DeSantis-demings voters this is it

I mean looters would just bring guns too right? I know the state of Florida isn’t too bright, but still lol.

KinelRyan Based

Ron, I've been in your house fucking your wife so many times and you never noticed

The warning I heard was don't go wading in the flooded streets... my mind went to downed live power lines... but the commentator went on 'because there may be alligators'. YIKES!!! Also, DeathSantis is despicable.

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

There should be a provision of law such that penalties are tripled for crimes committed during or after a hurricane.

Best. Governor. Ever.

The best

Yes thieves don't be stealing all the debris strewn around. Or is message for the insurance companies?

Just like the typical fake news, take a section and broadcast to fit their agenda/narrative. The guy said a lot of things, this is one of them and what's wrong with that. Liberal minds of course can only comprehend what they see only.

Why are republicans such fear mongers? They project such a dark world. Has there been mass looting after after a hurricane before? Really…people coming in with boats to loot?

A hole

Florida is doing a great job with all of the challenges today. 1000s on ground for search and rescue…. 1000s recovering power/water. He is great. This warning to looters is appropriate!

Is there even one Republican who isn’t self serving all the time?

Best Governor ever. He is our future President of the USA. LetsGoBrandon FloridaStrong

Florida is such a cesspool.

Refresh my memory, Slick: Which states are NOT 2nd amendment states?

The looters are aemed,, too...duh.

But some people could carry guns even if it’s not a 2nd Amendment state

DeSantis's version of trump throwing paper towels. This will be the extent of his recovery efforts. All violent gun talk and no action. Pitiful excuse of a human being.

I freaking love GovRonDeSantis

That didn't last too long. 2 days and he's back to his old self.

In Minnesota we welcome looters. In fact or governor said he didn’t want to show too much power to them. Take a guess if my governor is a Republican or a democrat ?

Some people just need to find out on their own

Them gators lurking is what they gotta watch out for

Exactly…. I dare you

This guy is a dangerous European

This is what’s called a civilized society 😊

All states are 2nd Amendment states, Simple Ron. Because the constitution is a federal document.

Damn straight

Well, I guess people shouldn’t look for people trapped or injured in homes, because they’ll get shot.

Oh great, now he’s advocating going out and shooting each other.

Damn right. Looters deserve no mercy.

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

Murderers and looters… is that really what he sees Florida as?

Sure Spankey, you got your minute of free media coverage. FYI Floridians need you to roll your sleeves up & help not give speeches. If you are stranded among Ian destruction surrounded by water you want to be rescued asap. Do you realize the value of volunteers with boats?

i don't hate this warning

Remember after hurricane Katrina they started seizing all the guns to 'prevent looting'? DeSantis is handling it better. 👍

Putin….?

Migrants everywhere are probably saying: It was so kind of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to ship immigrants in Florida off to New York State 🚌 before Hurricanelan 🌀 hit 🫠💦. Funny how Karma works🚎🚌🚃🚞🚋. Karmaland

That's just good, commonsense advise.

People are missing, people need food and support. And he is talking about Floridians right to bear arms and shoot people. FFS

You never know what's lurking behind the button of DeSantis' jacket

Don’t even think about being President!

Happens after every hurricane anywhere. Liberals think it's free fucking yard sale. PewPew

Why is this controversial. Don’t steal from people. Just because their homes or businesses have been damaged doesn’t make it open for stealing.

❤️

And?

Shocking and divisive message. Its like going to result in the death of an aid worker. That's MAGA for you.

Death DeSantis wants you to leave the looting to him.

Excellent

Donald Trump pulls the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord NO PROBLEM

What a embarrassment

Fukin A loot you die.

What a tool.

Next, DeSantis will be warning about the caravans heading to Florida...

GreatOldParty Good reminder to looters who always seem to surface.

I don't know if you've noticed but in certain blue state cities looting of stores is now routine. There are long term negative consequences when those cities and states allow this to happen.

good. Looters have been openly warned, so now if they still loot and get shot they have no defense.

Costing a lot of Floridians a lot of money while also threatening vigilantism

Good.

DeSantis deserves a trial by the people.

Like scared, rich white people know how to use guns. Welcome to climate change RegeneRon.

Interesting that there are pro-looting tweets here. Wow.

Like a Boss ……

Just when I thought I couldn't like him more than I already do!! GovRonDeSantis ♥️♥️♥️ from NJ.

White Power tautologies providing murderers with cover.

Focused on property not people… typical Republican. I wonder if the Trump organization is donating to the Red Cross

Love this guy. Keep speaking truth DeSantis!

He's a twelve year old little boy!

Isn’t every state a second amendment state? Isn’t that how the second amendment works?

He’s fear mongering to feed his base and distract from his failures. He’s on the side of fascism and more and more people are figuring it out.

ChristinaPushaw I can tell the smart asses that have never been though a natural disaster! It can take up to 2-3 weeks for power & water! During that time you’re basically on your own water, food and protection. 3-4 days in the military might start supply centers for water, MRE’s at schools.

Good policy

He doesn't even trust his own people...LMAO.

Yikes

Best Governor in America!

Isn’t every state a 2nd amendment state?

Oh, good. Now fear of getting shot by over eager, gun toting vigilantes will keep away people who may have wanted to help. 🙄

Is Ron DeSantis encouraging looters to go look for guns?

he should bring the same intensity to a horrible school system

This man is a horrible human being.

Good. He's right.

Threats, what a leader

BaSICLY PUT YOU LOOT SOME ONE SHOOT..LOL.LOVE IT

And now back to politics

Go Desantis! Wish Oregon had Law and Order! 🙏🙏🙏

The libs hate self-defense, especially when it comes to personal property.

Love it…

Well said

All the damn house are UNDER DAMN WATER. But do tell, please remind folks that they only things they saved out of all their worldly possessions is a gun so the can shoot a damn rescue worker from FEMA!! You are so Floriduhh

Because personal property is more important than human life

Its wild how I can't decide if I hate this guy or almost all the people in the replies more

Love this guy. He's going to make a great President

Sounds reasonable

This dude says nothing but common sense and there are people that get angry

Conservatives govern by fear as a rule.

Just have had enough of his deadly beliefs and ways. So sick and tired of the gun references by these people.

OleTimeHardball That he doesn't appeal to man's humanity to man, but appeals to man's worst fears. Tells you all you need to know about this fraud.

Ick.

species_x Floridians will guard what is theirs they will protect it , you loot they’ll shoot. Some will not hear his warnings

Where the obvious thing to do after a disaster is joke about citizens robbing and shooting one another.

That is his advice in a time of dire need What a joke he is.

This bonehead is amazing. Message fine - “don’t steal from your neighbor” , But delivery is just asinine. Frankly 2nd Amendment is Federal Law not a “State” one. Also it was intended to support the State Militia ( i.e. Nat’l Guard). Read it.

He is a joke.

I’m gonna ******** Ron DeSantis

Yup. And every single thief who takes advantage of other people in this disaster should be shot. Period. Or do you disagree, ?

Based

Badass.

That man needs to be President!

F-ing sharks and alligators swimming down the street, people just lost their homes and all their belongings, have no food & he plays political games. Typical🙄

GOOD!

And just like he does every single time, Ron made it much worse.

MaxNordau Whoa! Where’s his make-up person? Orange spray?

Good

It’s funny how law and order is a Right wing thing. The Left want to turn the criminals loose on us,

Of course failed to headline his statement making sure everyone is safe

I'd like to remind you that every state is,A 2nd amendment state. The constitution applies to all the people.

Yup. It works like a charm.

Hell yeah

Always the Fear Monger. That man is a monster

votedagainstHurricaneSandy DeSantisDestroysFlorida

That’s an authoritarian’s logic. It rests on force and retribution rather than compassion, empathy, and the rule of law. DeSantis is an embarrassment

He tried really hard to pretend to be a good, empathetic guy. This was his moment and he couldn’t carry it off. True colors and all.

Their elected Governor makes it very hard to feel sorry for Florida. And his hypocritical bid for billions of aid $$ when he was against same for NY’s Hurricane disaster makes it even harder. Good luck with all that. PS FED bailout = socialism

Based

In other words, shoot black people on sight even if they’re trying to recover their own belongings.

love it

Fear is all he has

So what CBS News. The 2nd Amendment applies in all 50 states.

He’s very proud to remind people how easy it is to get shot in Florida. American conservatism’s greatest achievement

DickSantis

What a bizarre message for Florida during this time of unbelievable crisis for its citizens. GovRonDeSantis Ian

Indeed, as a second amendment state, those who are out looting could face a homeowner who's defending their property with a gun, which means they could be shot. Best not to loot nor harm anyone during this disaster. People ought to assist each other to recover. Deaths at minimal.

DeSantis most respected Governor in the country👎🇺🇸

Culture wars over assisting residents

Every state is a 2A state.

KinelRyan If he would slow that down a bit. You would get a very cool John Wayne vibe.

Punks jump up to get beat down

What an inspiration DeSantis is to his people...

I love this guy!

We are stacked here east of Tampa, anyone dumb enough to look here deserves what they get. We have lost a lot and will defend what little we have left with our lives rightfully. Many of us are still with our power, I included. And won't get it back til at least Monday. 5 days w/o

Ron doesn’t want any looters taking his job! Lmao 🤣 🤡

It's an emergency and you 🤔 I hope he remembers that when Black Americans use there rights and take down 88!!!

Love him.

Democrats are clutching their pearls.

BASED DESANTIS.

Ones water logged crap is not any better than the other person's water logged crap 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

'People trying to bring boats into these islands and ransack people's homes'

This is not time for national division, folks. May our Heavenly Father bless our great country in this painful process of recovering🇺🇸✝️

But we won’t hear DeSantis talk about how the next hurricane will be more powerful & destructive. He knows 🌎warming is heating the oceans & that heat energizes hurricanes. Rebuilding maybe $s down a rat hole. DeSantis failed Floridians by ignoring global warming. Tell, em, Gov!

DeSantis can’t do anything right. valdemings

Fair warning ⚠️

NOT ONE CENT FOR NO REG DESANTIS - NO socialism, NO big government - no bailout for Florida - they don't want to pay taxes, let them figure out post-Ian reconstruction on their own.....just like they want it. HOW DO THOSE TAX SHELTERS WORK FOR YOU DURING AND POST HURRICANE?

Isn't every state a 'Second Amendment State'? FFS

Obviously many people here have forgotten the massive looting that went on during Katrina. People need reminding Florida isn’t New Orleans. He’s probably saving some lives reminding them.

What state isn’t “a second amendment state”

Perfect!!! Thank you GovRonDeSantis!

Looters after a natural disaster are among the lowest form of life. DeSantis is right on this.

Floridians: *Loses everything cause of a storm DeSantis: YOU BETTER NOT BE LOOTING

My mom lives in Florida, and she feels much safer having Ron DeSantis as her Governor! Can't wait for Governor KariLake in November for AZ🙌

This isn’t the own you think it is

😍😍😍

As lawless as any other state in the union. Poor infrastructure, just like any other state in the union. Weak grid, just like all states. Maybe we stop with the us/them? We all are sliding into the abyss.

I've switched to supporting DeSantis for president over Trump.

NEWSFLASH: ALL states are 2nd Amendment states.

Hate the guy. But I'm also fair. He's not wrong.

Doesn’t sound like Florida is very safe.

It's Florida. If you say 'you never know what's lurking,' a rational person with a gun is probably the least scary thing I would imagine.

ChristinaPushaw My governor. Next president

Mr ammosexual

Hands down the best governor in America!🇺🇸

K. Never mind sending help. Clearly y'all have got this. 🙄

ChristinaPushaw Common Ron W

ChristinaPushaw Fuck around in Florida and you will find out. ❤️

What a crock. If there isn’t any looting he’ll say because everyone has guns & if there is he’ll say it’s proof that people need more guns. Just bring people together man. I don’t like to see the people of any state suffer.

LMAO at all the pro looter posters with Ukraine flags in their bios. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

fuck around and find out

DeSantis rocks 😎

ChristinaPushaw Yep - “you loot, we shoot!”

Yes, you never know what is lurking in that home.

Doesn't Ron realize that guns will be a high value target for Looters?

Smart guy. He's correct.

Yes. Looting is good. Nothing wrong with stealing people’s stuff while they’re down and out. Great work everyone.

Have fun trying to get volunteers to go in and help, then. I'm sure they'll definitely not mind being shot at when they're mistaken for looters.

Jebus, this is where his mind goes first? All I’ve been seeing are incredible acts of selfless rescues of the elderly and pets.

He just couldn’t do it. The narcissist always comes out. Just pretend you care and ride tragedy into victory. But nope. Foot in mouth!

Good common sense advice. No one should be looting at all but to looting during an emergency like this, well you know good karma is not going to be on your side.

ChristinaPushaw Brilliant, glad that someone is against looting and stealing

Good job scaring people out of volunteering because some small dicked wannabe soldier might mistake them for a looter for carrying food and diapers to their neighbor.

Hate the guy for most of his views, and as a person but damn I love this quote.

And we're not afraid to use it!

ChristinaPushaw Good advice.

It's good advice. 'Fuck around and find out' eh?

ChristinaPushaw I wish that was true….

Criminals in FL don't have guns? 🤔

I might go along with that if I didn't already know that DeSantis and this fucked up state of Florida was gun nut state. RememberStonemanDouglas

wbz

Now he needs those Florida tax payer dollars back. 😂 but he wasted it. Now he wants take donations .

Guns..... wow.

tool

Amen GovRonDeSantis

Makes perfect sense. If you don’t like it, don’t be a criminal … maybe

Ron always gives good advice. Get the loot, pull up your boat

This is going to be lambasted by the left, but it is a great statement by a leader. 'Try and take advantage of the situation against people reeling in devastation, they will defend what they have left' is what he's saying and it's a great deterrent.

DocWashburn Governor Ron DeSantis is the Best Governor Ever!!!

Then why hasn’t FL’s majority Republican state legislature pass constitutional carry yet?

I. D. I. O. T.

mcbc Omg..

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C

Life is a construct, just like everything else so FAFO!

I wonder if the Castle doctrine applies if your house doesn't actually exist anymore.

Don't value somebody else's property over your life. It's a bad bet.

StewartTVNews So inappropriate. He should be completely focused on search and rescue. Why isn’t he focused on saving lives? …that time window is closing quickly.

Nothing left to rob . Open your eyes governor

People are suffering and dying and FLORIDA republicans are bragging about their SMALL wieners and guns

Why is it controversial to warn people not to loot the homes of the vulnerable? Looting is wrong.

Am am not a 100% fan of the Governor, but he is totally correct here! Good Job Governor!

Good. Hopefully no one tries anything.

I am praying for florida.🙏🙏🙏

Love that guy.

What a inept person

cdrsalamander Good messaging from the governor.

Like a boss!!!

TALK TO EM

Good.

wbz Can't stomach him..KARMA

There he is

Doesn't Florida 'red flag' more guns than Cali and New York? Weird flex for a gun grabber.

What, Ronnie, isn't the hurricane fake news? You twit!!!

Yeah sure Ron, guns have a role in combating this disaster. And he smirks.

Translation: Don’t forget to tool up when you go looting. cheapleadership littlebitnaive

I mean, it’s true. Don’t hate on a guy for being transparent.

wbz God Bless him he is the best

Every state is a second amendment state, genius🧐

GovRonDeSantis ok tough guy

DocWashburn

God bless this man. I can’t wait until he’s president

Priceless! Ron's the man! I trade him for Gov Gav in a heartbeat. WeveGotACountryToSave NoMoreStupidPeople MeltTheSnowflakes

That's a nice way of saying 'mass shooting state.'

47

Did y’all really learn nothing, though? Hey maybe try journalism again for a change.

Asinine can comment!

I really think people just like to complain and bitch about everything. What did he say that was wrong?

Worst governor ever

grandmaj2 Yup! 👍👊👏👏👏🤞🤞🤞🇺🇸

Good advice

I'll just put this out there. You CAN NOT shoot someone in defense if property. Don't let this fool make y'all crash dummies

I’ll expect the “well regulated militia” out there any day now. Also, I’m pretty sure that amendment applies to all of the states.

What a nasty ass clown.

Japanese cannibals cried so hard to let Americans know their jealousy again knowing no one tries to revenge. Cannibals' hysteria can't be soothed if everyone doesn't know satellite terrorism. As long as they hide their flag, they remain unsatisfied. What do they fear now?

LGBTQ community affected the most

😣😣😣

I see a lot of Yankees returning home

Ron Desantis is NOT my governor!

Despite massive catastrophy due 2 Hurricane Ian, DeSantis Supporters mostly concerned with fictional black mermaids...
