SAD: DeSantis conjures woke boogeyman at sparsely attended Staten Island event
It makes sense that the worst Governor in America went to the worst borough in New York to speak to the worst people about making things even worse for everyone.
Florida MAGA Man Ron “DeathSantis” DeSantis appeared before tens of white roughnecks on Staten Island, aka the last remaining safe space for Snowflake Trumpers in the very Blue state.
There’s no real reason for Gov. Death Jones to be a “special guest for a discussion on protecting Law and Order in New York,” (according to the press release for the event) except for the fact that he’s going to eventually announce that he’s running for president.
DeSantis will be making other appearances, but he was smart enough to start in Staten Island, where thinking is a distant third to binge drinking and punching when it comes to the way the locals handle things.
Since facts are anathema to the MAGA masses and nobody with an “R” after their name wants their voting base to be free thinkers, DeSantis conveniently skipped sharing any data regarding police COVID-19 deaths in his biased remarks allegedly backing the Blue.

DeathSantis made it clear to the whitest KKKids you don’t want to know that he wants all the same people to die as they do.

Revolting Ron will continue his hate speech tour in Chicago, where his Democratic counterpart, Governor J.B. Pritzker, is already distinguishing himself by signing progressive bills into law that would make Ron scream into his white boots on the daily.
Pritzker’s a savvy statesman who’s had Ron’s ticket for quite some time.
“He’s trying to pass off his covert racism, homophobia, and misogyny as a more reasonable form of Trump Republicanism,” Pritzker said of DeathSantis during an appearance before the Florida Democratic Party last year, calling him “just Donald Trump with a mask on.”
BUUUURRRNNNN.
Twitter knows what’s going on in Staten Island, and they also know it’s not Pete Davidson’s fault.
You visited Staten Island because it's full of dumb MAGA mooks, DeathSantis

De Santis probably won’t even see Manhattan on this jaunt, so no good speculating on him looking out a town car tinted window and saying “I don’t get it.” It’s a straight shot from Newark/Liberty to “these are my fascist people” law-and-order catering hall in Staten Island.

Fox's Brian Kilmeade says Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is going to "four different liberal cities to talk directly to [police] officers" to salute law enforcement and potentially recruit.

Staten Island is trending so here's a reminder that my Congressmember Nicole Malliotakis thinks Ron DeSantis is "America's Governor." Fascists of a feather… pic.twitter.com/vKK0s0QlEP
