DeSantis Vows To Repeal Trump’s First Step Act, Hits Trump For Not Having Control Of His Own Agencies – By Daily Wire News (Daily Wire) / May 26, 2023
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis hit former President Donald Trump during an interview Friday over a “jailbreak” bill that he signed into law as president and for not having control of his own government.
DeSantis made the remarks during an interview with Ben Shapiro, editor emeritus of The Daily Wire and host of “The Ben Shapiro Show,” the top conservative podcast in the nation.
“Florida’s crime rate is at a 50-year low,” DeSantis said. “That’s just a fact, and it hit a 50-year low during my administration. But a lot of that is because local people, local government, local law enforcement, have done a good job, but it’s hit a 50-year low while crime has been spiking in other places around the country.”
“So that’s delusional to say that somehow Florida has bad crime, and you can see that in the migration patterns,” he continued. “People are leaving high crime areas and they’re coming here. When the Floyd riots were going on in Minneapolis, I called out the National Guard in Florida immediately, I had state law enforcement deployed.”
