Ron DeSantis Vows To Veto Florida Bill That Would Help Trump - eviltoast

The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia ®, would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

    Hrm, maybe this scam scheme only works if your wife owns a drug testing company and then you make drug testing mandatory for a good fraction of the people across the entire state, based on no evidence whatsoever and in fact rather against everything that has ever been measured in that regard before. Anyway, the trick is that doing such a thing does not directly benefit “him” - see how that works? Yeah… me neither, that’s why I suggested that they try it again!
