JFC! Actual quote from De-SANTOS

"There needs to be one standard of justice in this country. Let's enforce it on everybody,” DeSantis added, “you can't have one faction of society weaponizing the power of the state against factions that it doesn't like.”

This is about the 4TH fucking time MSNBC has played this clip today with absolutely no pushback, or context

This guys entire miserable life has been nothing but "weaponizing the power of the state" against "factions he doesn't like".

Let me tell you how I am using the resources of the State of Florida, to go after a corporation that said something tepid about my discriminatory policies.

Trump supporters DeSantis is trying to attract; it also plays well with the rest of the lawless, dishonest right.

If anybody was actually being chilled, we would have all been frozen stiff by the end of the Reagan Regime.
It's actually been the exact opposite, all the outrageousness of the rightwingtards has been heating things up, for decades.

So he thinks he can gain votes by pretending Donny Dipshit is some sort of Mandela or Gandhi type character wrongly imprisoned.

If the lowest peon in America, who just happened to have debts no honest man could pay and those debts just happened to be to the Russian mafia and Saudi oil sheiks, were to steal 1500 pounds of classified information and take it home with him, you'd demand his head be cut off and stuck on a fencepost as a warning to the others.

Don't come whining to me when your precious moron president did that and is now facing the consequences of his actions...well, without the fencepost part maybe.

War on woke, weaponized rhetoric for a weaponized government. It's like saying we are going to weaponize government to go after woke. meaningless bullshit using fake ill defined words.
