Ron DeSantis has been in a war with the Republican establishment in Florida.
He is not pulling any punches to get his conservative agenda passed.
And Ron DeSantis asked one question that left the RINO sellouts shaking in their boots.
Ron DeSantis wonders if this is Florida or San Francisco
The Florida State Legislature is dominated by RINO turncoats who want to talk a big game on the campaign trail and do nothing to advance conservative policies once they get elected.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is trying to hold their feet to the fire.
He battled the RINOs in the State Legislature who wanted to pass a watered-down anti-illegal immigration bill to help the state carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
Eventually, after public pressure on Trump’s signature issue, the RINO leadership in the legislature agreed to a tough bill.
DeSantis has turned his sights to the area that Florida lags behind other red states, gun rights.
The RINOs in the Florida State Legislature caved to the gun grabbers after the 2018 Parkland shooting.
A raft of gun control laws including raising the age to 21 to be a long gun purchaser and a red flag gun confiscation law to seize firearms without due process.
DeSantis has been trying to restore Second Amendment freedoms since he took office.
He delivered a fiery speech attacking the RINOs in the Florida State Legislature for failing to deliver on a conservative agenda.
“We have almost three-to-one Republicans in the House of Representatives. Have they passed open carry, which 38 states have?” DeSantis asked. “Of course, they haven’t.”
Florida is the only Republican-controlled state in the country that does not have open carry of firearms.
It joins places like Illinois and Washington, D.C. in banning open carry under any circumstances.
RINOs say one thing to voters and do another
Republicans have supermajorities in both houses of the State Legislature, but pro-gun bills have been stalled.
DeSantis noted these RINOs would talk about defending the Second Amendment during election season but drag their feet when the legislative season rolled around.
“You ask them when they campaign, ‘Do you support it?’ They would all say, ‘Yes.’ And then somehow, it just magically doesn’t get done,” DeSantis explained.
He lamented that Republican majorities were worthless unless they used the power that voters gave them.
“To have a GOP supermajority, it isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, unless they act like a GOP supermajority,” DeSantis told a group of Republicans at the Governor’s mansion. “What I see so far out of the Florida House of Representatives, they’re not trying to step on the Left’s throat. They are giving a lifeline to the Democratic Party.”
RINO legislators collaborated with Democrats on a Green New Deal carbon sequestration bill this session.
“If you’re indulging climate lunacy, you’re not on my team. If you’re blocking great Second Amendment [policies] like open carry, you’re not on my team,” DeSantis stated.
DeSantis told the Republican activists gathered to ask their elected officials what they were doing to defeat the Left.
“What are you doing to make sure that the Democratic Party doesn’t come roaring back in two or four years?” DeSantis said. “That’s the stakes that I see. You know, I’m disappointed in seeing some of this. The reality is, I ain’t budging an inch.”
Florida’s legislature like Washington, D.C. is filled with Swamp creatures who want to empower the Left.
