Desantis has taken more questions than this whole administration has in the last 3/12 years

[@williambsrsell4226]

Thank you Governor DeSantis

[@lunarastra3103]

Yes.Put him away for life! We The People applaud your investigation Gov. DeSantis!

[@wnewfmer]

He will be without DeSantis involvement...

[@davidvictor52]

The FBI is like Foxes investigating the Fox who raided the hen house! DeSantis is outfoxing the Foxes! Pray for Justice!

[@kathyadkins6956]

Thank you Governor Ron Desantis. We love you.

[@Zee-zj2uh]

Gov DeSantis is a former Navy JAG, and he'll know what to do!

[@marcellaratliff1304]

Governer Desantis is a remarkable Man. Florida is so lucky to have you..

[@marygoggins2352]

LEADERSHIP. ISN'T IT A BEAUTIFUL THING TO SEE!

[@francesviegas5999]

Absolutely right on all counts! Kudos to Ron DeSantis for how he is handling this!x👏♥️🇺🇸

[@kazuhira7777]

What are we going to do when his term is up the dems will surely try to catch up by busing the worse into the best state

[@sitecracker1]

He points out an obvious security issue at an elite golf course that he himself has played on that needs more cash and resources to protect.. He also points out the persons failed attempt with a firearm warrants a life sentence.. I wonder if he feels the same about our neighborhoods being safe, secure.. I wonder if someone around or on our propery with a firearm would also warrant a life sentence. It's a matter of perspective.. People walk right through or on my property in Florida its a security issue.. the police do absolutely nothing..

[@shantishanti1949]

His son says he’s a lovely kind “normal” dad. lol except hates Trump as does the son and family. Investigation into the son and daughter whose car the assassin was driving too please ??

[@alphabogeyman7462]

Yes, the son, Hunter Biden.😊

[@heatherbeth4249]

Hearsay

[@gracewegman1013]

Looks like it would have been pretty hard to miss this "assassin". He hung his gear on the fence, poked his big gun through the fence. Hard to believe he was serious. And just for the record,I'd like to know how much these golf outings cost taxpayers? Maybe I'd prefer my tax dollars go to housing a homeless family.

[@knails5638]

👍👍👍👍

[@apatriotone]

Immediate questions are: 1) where did he get the gun? 2) who gave him advance information, 3) other people helped in this? He was a known felon who flew in. He could not have acted alone. This was planned and coordinated.

[@tanyarobinson2098]

There is NO way he should have known Trump was playing Sunday morning. 😮

[@wnewfmer]

@@tanyarobinson2098 Trump plays golf every Sunday...

[@apatriotone]

Again how does he fly in from Hawaii and get an unmarked AK and ammo? He had help or direction from someone.

[@apatriotone]

@@wnewfmer Do you know this for a fact given his campaign schedule? He has otter golf courses. Would you book a flight from Hawaii to Florida unless you were certain the target would be there?

[@heatherbeth4249]

You already know. Not rocket science. They depend on out stupidity.

[@jeunebug]

He sure knows that course.

[@robertgolsong5522]

Thank you governor desantis

[@bb5808]

Wow.. FBI doesn't want to charge for attempted assassination? That is crazy

[@wynonajohnson3937]

WHERE ARE ALL THE CAMERAS❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

[@yoly10548]

I had to come here to input my thoughts bcuz wptv doesn't let ppl comment! Thank you, Governor Ron DeSantis 🙏 May the Lord bless 🙌 you and your family and keep you all safe 🙌 🙏 ❤️ Thank you for stepping up, doing the right thing, and our AG miss moody, thank you! I'm applaud to hear what the feds were charging him with. That's a disgrace and disappointing, it speaks volumes. May the Lord help, bless and keep President trump safe, and his family. These evil, hateful journalists/democrats have caused our country to where it is now, may God bless and have mercy of our country. 🙏

[@pambonning771]

I am from upstate New York. Florida is extremely blessed to have a Governor that cares about the people,the laws, takes questions and wants answers. Thank you Gov. DeSantis.

[@AuraAuk]

🥰 there is hope

[@wynonajohnson3937]

Is ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

[@Zee-zj2uh]

Some media source said the golf course is in Jupiter, Fl. Misinformation yet again.

[@np4773]

Governor DeSantis, Thank God you 🙏 are in charge! 🙏 President Trump 2024!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sullivancalgary]

It is a federal crime. What jurisdiction does Florida have that would supersede or expand any charges?

[@waynedoomad2573]

Thanks Mr GOVERNOR

[@user-hl4uz9kc1y]

Conflict of Interest

[@Diesel3356]

Clear and reasonable answers. Waiting to hear the MSM spin.

[@pucmahone3893]

“ The shooter was just trying to shoot gophers on the golf course!” (Merit Garland )

[@sullivancalgary]

Blah blah blah

[@KMT15]

Curious how it is “attempted assassination” when he didn’t pull the trigger. I hope those will be the charges but isn’t it more like conspiracy to assassinate/ murder?

[@sneakybiscuit8301]

It's attempt because the suspect took a "significant step" to committing the crime. (Obtaining the gun and being in the same location as the victim with the gun) conspiracy would be more of him getting caught making plans at his home but not taking that "significant step."

Your boy tRump wants to defund the DOJ & FBI...

[@erl-qe9qf]

Soon after Trump loses in November and his election record is 1 win, 2 losses, he will declare his candidacy for Florida governor to even his record.

Go away, Nostradamus!!!

Are you stoned, or just stupid?

[@StudiosNYC54-tl9pt]

What a totally bullshit comment that is to make !!

[@tanyarobinson2098]

Try harder! That was just lame and stupid. Go watch some CNN and get your TDS all riled up and try again! I have faith in you. You CAN be a REAL TDS Karen!!

[@F0KYT69]

America is coming back Nov 7th 🇺🇸

[@richrapman]

A competent and transparent performance by DeSantis, but in these divided times, is it necessary to impune the competence and motives of the FBI? And indirectly support those people who stormed the capital, which resulted in the deaths directly and indirectly of 5 innocent people?

[@tanyarobinson2098]

There were not 5 deaths at the Capital. There was ONE. A veteran shot by a Capitol Policeman. And what the HELL does that day have to do with this? The FBI has impugned itself. I’m stunned you aren’t aware of the numerous things they’ve been caught doing. How many FBI whistleblowers have there been now?

[@carolfreeman2962]

No! The cop died the next day as a result of a stroke. Unarmed Ashley Babbit died because a cop shot her in the face. Another woman was trampled because of cops spraying rubber bullets.

[@wnewfmer]

@@carolfreeman2962 Rewriting history....

[@bb5808]

Yes

[@richrapman]

The stress caused by the attacked killed the policeman and the others…. Fact
