TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Civil rights activists cheered when Ron DeSantis pardoned four Black men wrongfully convicted of rape as one of his first actions as Florida’s governor. But four years later, as DeSantis eyes the presidency, their hope that the Republican would be an ally on racial justice has long faded.

DeSantis has gotten more racist in the last year or so.

I honestly don't think you get more racist, you just go "mask off."

Did people think they would stop at trying to erase gay people?

DeSantis is most likely very upset that he didn’t get to participate in extralegal lynchings of minorities.

He considers himself fortunate that he got to participate in completely legal torture and murder of Muslims.
