“What he did is totally unacceptable in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said. “We are not going to let people be targeted based on their race.”
Why is Desantis allowed to lie so blatantly? He encourages this behavior daily!
I also have no sympathy for him getting targeted for this, when all he had to do, after one of these attacks, is denounce the white supremacy that has taken root in Florida.
Just one little press speech: "I do not condone white supremacy in my state and they will find no safe harbor here."
He reaps what he sows.

"We are not going to let people be targeted based on their race.”
(Except by elected leaders and the laws they pass. Also they'll be targeting people based on gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, party affiliation, or anything they determine to be "woke" or "socialist")
Just like all freedom-loving Americans
Why is Desantis allowed to lie so blatantly? He encourages this behavior daily!
This crowd did call him out on his bullshit.
That’s probably code for “We won’t let this be classified a hate crime. Stop targeting white people with your wokeness”
I hate this fucking timeline.
He's a politician, that's why

That's because he's a #fascist piece of shit, whose policies have done nothing but encourage his followers to commit violence, just like this.
Along with every other POS Republican^1 in office.
1 ...but I am being redundant.
I understand why Ron was booed.
I don't understand why he was allowed to speak in the first place.
The role of Governor still has a lot of weight regardless of the dirtbag in the position.
A video of a crowd throwing meatballs at Ron DeSantis would be the funniest shit.

Should release the manifestos so we can show how this dude idolized Treump and DeSantis.
No no, these lone wolves all exist in a vacuum and spring fully formed like Athena from the head of economic anxiety. Stop it, you.

who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of a madman.”
Literally the diary of a madman.
Ron DeSantis won't let this shooting and others like it be taught in Florida schools. Somehow is surprised when the people impacted by his policies express their dissatisfaction.
You know in cop shows, and probably real life, the cops watch the crowds at funerals and press conferences and all that because serial offenders will often show up? I feel like DeSantis is the offender here inserting himself where he isn't wanted or welcome just to scope out the carnage. It's gross.

Oof. I misunderstood the title and thought Desantis went to the vigil and booed at the people there. Can't say it would've been out of character. As for the actual story, Florida deserves better leaders. Huge respect for the people there fighting for change.
Frankly I'm shocked DeSantis ever thought showing up to this could possibly go well for him. If anything I'd expect that shitbird to speak at the killer's funeral.
That guy is basically a mega ultra racist fascist scumbag right?
I'd be surprised if he weren't booed everywhere he goes, with tomatoes thrown at him.
