Well...this is awkward

So, DeSantis was eager to sign a law allowing drivers to run over protesters.

But I am assuming that he imagined that would be applied to protesters of the darker persuasion.

I doubt they counted on this...

Meanwhile, in Miami-Dade on Tuesday, a large group of demonstrators protesting the Cuban government marched on to the Palmetto Expressway, shutting the highway down for about an hour.

WSVN-Ch. 7 reports the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826) was blocked near Coral Way and Southwest 32nd Street. Police on the scene helped managed the traffic and crowd, according to reports.

for defacing a mural for the victims of the PULSE Shooting. When Desantis introduced these laws about not defacing murals. I am sure he was only thinking of people that would desecrate the holy traitor confederate statues he wants to protect.

It will be interesting indeed how they react to the Cuban protests.
