DeSantis Only Caught a ‘Little Bit’ Of Trump’s Arraignment Because ‘We Had an Execution Yesterday’

DeSantis was also pressed on whether or not he followed the extensive, wall-to-wall, news coverage Thursday of Trump’s D.C. surrender, where he was officially charged with four counts related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

“I saw a little bit,” replied the Florida governor. “Unfortunately, one of the things as governor that you have to do is oversee executions. So we had an execution yesterday, so I was tied up with that for most of the day.”

1. He is really just an awful, awful man, isn't he!

2. DeSantis really is what he says he is, why the F can't people listen and understand what this guy

is about. FFS, Trump will likely not be running and then they will jump on DeSantis as their cult leader, possibly. Fuck, I am so tired of it all.

3. This is why I think - like many - that DeS is worse than Whiny

Whiny is just a spoiled narcissist with no ideology. He used to be s Democrat, used to be pro-choice and in the first Republican debate in 2016 mentioned health care "like Canada."

DeS is vicious.

6. Exactly! I agree 1000%+++ n/t

4. Florida switched to majority for executions instead of unanimous for a reason

they love to execute people if given an opportunity wait until they find being LGBT near a minor a capital sex crime

5. Unfortunately, this is not limited to Republicans.

As much as I hate DeSantis, at least it is what I expect from the Republican Party.

I hate it more when Democrats do crap like this:

Earlier that day, January 24, 1992, then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton had left the presidential campaign trail to be home for Rector's execution. State law did not require the governor's presence, but politics did: Clinton wanted to raise his national profile and reverse the Democratic Party's soft-on-crime image.

9. I remember this. I wonder how any Democratic governors these days sign on executions

[Ms. Toad]

10. Its still an issue.

The Republicans goad Democrats about not being tough on crime - and too many Democratic governors respond as Clinton did.

(And there are people on DU who support executions.)

7. I'm sure DeSatan was just DYING to work that in

so he mentioned it twice. Part of failed strategy #4...or 5 or whatever. The new bloodthirsty MorRON with his piranha wife.

8. This pretty much marks

The end of his Presidential Campaign. He’s such a loser.

11. Executions a FL tradition.
