Gov. Ron DeSantis played Peoria Friday night, and Chicago jokes were part of the routine.
DeSantis, the featured guest at the Peoria-Tazewell County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner at the Peoria Civic Center, made jokes about the Windy City’s voting patterns, including contextualizing his 2022 romp over Charlie Crist.
“We won in rural Florida. I mean, we were getting 90 plus percent in some of these rural counties. You know, I used to see numbers like that out of Chicago. I just assumed it was dead people voting or something. I didn’t think anyone could get it. We actually got it. It was fair and square.”
DeSantis also swatted at Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, talking about COVID-19.
“Florida stood as a refuge of sanity as a citadel of freedom for people, not just in our state, but in all of the United States and even for people around the world, including your governor’s family who sent people down there because we were living in freedom,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis made similar comments to reporters ahead of the speech: “I’m a little bit disappointed that your governor said I wasn’t welcome in Illinois…when he was locking down this state, he sent his family to live in my state..I didn’t say they weren’t welcome in Florida.”
The Governor returned to localized themes and COVID-19 soon thereafter, saying “you saw places in Illinois where they locked the kids out of school for not just months but even a year. And that’s going to do irreparable damage.”
The Governor also recounted various accomplishments of his, some with more vigor than others.
He touched on the state’s controversial new six-week abortion ban very briefly, saying he “expanded protections for right to life” without offering any details about the law.
He leaned in harder to saying the state has a new law that “authorized the death penalty for pedophiles,” which got applause in Peoria.
“We have nixed this whole pronoun game in our schools. You can’t force someone to do pronouns,” DeSantis said, further delineating his “package of successes” that he would “put up against anybody in the country.”

Fantastic work, Mike. Since I currently make more than $36,000 each month from just one simple web business, I commend your efforts. Despite the fact that these are the most basic internet operations occupations, you nd-05 may start making a reliable online income with as little as $29,000.

My goodness, Mister Governor Ron DeSantis! Did I hear correctly ? “Florida stood as a refuge of sanity…”
Lucky for you Mister Governor that you govern here in Florida, because at least in the future, when your words and deeds are examined by historians, they might speculate you were caught up in the state’s long running headlines-making “Florida Man” epidemic. God knows not a soul with a brain considers Florida a place for sanity. Mister Ron DeSantis, you are indeed the state’s new poster boy for “Florida Man,” and I do believe it will indeed be noted, bless your heart.

“We got 90% of the vote in some of these rural counties where many people can’t read and write on a highschool level.. and crawl around on all fours. Nevermind we made them that way by government for the rich only with anti-tax and right wing police state politics over the last 20 years.” – Ron DeTeaParty

“Florida stood as a refuge of sanity as a citadel of freedom for people, not just in our state, but in all of the United States and even for people around the world…” – If DeSantis truly believes that “his” Florida is the world’s “citadel of freedom” b.s. then his wife or doctor had better get him shipped off to a psychiatric facility pronto to get that delusional disorder of his properly treated ASAP.

DeSantis is absolutely correct on this one. Just look at the most recent mayors of Chicago and the Governor as well. Only the dead could have voted for those morons.😜

The Governor brought the jokes, ‘Big Spender’ largest bloated budget, top state in the nation with the highest home and auto insurance, while he gave them tort limits, SB4D causing many seniors and veterans to leave the state, then giving limited liability to the contractors that built ‘Surffside’, erasing his global travel budget from the public, erasing the number of dead in Florida from the pandemic. Yes the joke was in IL and his numbers showed it, but we are not laughing in Florida!

Good morning America,
As I, Earl Pitts American, look up at the leftist dook 4 brains comments, I am happy to know that only 2% of our Great Nation’s voters are in the catagory of these raging, off the chain, always taking their view points to the extream commenters.
On top of that 1/2 of them are the same effin person posting under various cute monikers.
Relax my “shy to post” fan ‘s of me, Earl Pitts American, I invite you to rise above your RINO “meek and mild” mental defects, grow a pair, and join me in trashing these vulinerable dook 4 brains lefties with your wise commentary of great knowledge.
Gut up online here, get over your “conservatives should be seen and not heard” “election looser mentality”, and join me in taking your 1st step to recovery by kicking some serious lefty posteriors.
Together we WILL take our once great nation back from the edge of doom.
Really, shy RINO’s, let me tell you that once you kick your boot up the 1st dook 4 brains leftist’s butt it just keeps getting better and better with each subsequant glorious kick. Stand up for your right to kick leftist butts my Patriots!!!!
Thank you my former meek and mild mousey go along to get along RINO’s.
Its high time for you to get your fat complaicent @55 up and out of the recliner and stand up to take back whats ours.
