Look, its clear that DeSantis broke the law. Question is which law did he break? Did he break the laws of his own state? Did he break federal law? But one thing he did is he broke with precedent, any precedent of decency and honor; his lack of character on display. He comes into another state, your state, to try to find pawns in a political game, rounds them up, send them to an island, and then fundraises off it. What does it say about his character and the character of the Republican Party that celebrated that act of cruelty and dehumanization? So I called it out because I find it offensive and disgraceful and I find it increasingly normalized now the republican party.
Its certainly well established here with Greg Abbott, who is apparently getting more attention on this topic than Ron DeSantis and he wanted in, and I mean that, and thats what happened to the Republican Party in this country, and that needs to be called out and Ron DeSantis rightfully is being called out but by not enough people and thats what concerns me, particularly with the silence, the appalling silence within the Republican Party.

The way GOP legislatures are now, no Dem can accomplish much. That's their stated goal.
