Ron DeSantis took questions from supporters in New Hampshire Tuesday, agreeing with a man in Manchester who believes a Republican presidential candidate should have Secret Service protection.
DeSantis noted that he did have a “detail under state law” due to being Governor of Florida, preceding further observations from the gentleman at his Never Back Down town hall event, including that the “last assassination” of a presidential candidate was Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., which was more than 55 years ago, and that in his opinion RFK Jr. was a prominent enough candidate to merit such protection.
“I think you ought to call out President Joe Biden,” he said, “for being so corrupt and not doing what he ought to do.”
DeSantis said “great” and “I agree,” in a seeming attempt to move the exchange away from that kind of discussion.

News Alert!
The head of right wing grifter group MOM’S FOR LIBERTY is a convicted sex offender who admitted guilt to raping a 14 year old boy! Ron DeSantis and his wife must be proud that they followed this organization’s advice and burned library books in this unvetted firm’s direction!

Given what happened to Paul Pelosi and Gabbi Giffords and Steve Scalise, politicians in the public eye do need to be protected. There are lots of crazies out there.

He’s trying to turn it into his own private army, like a SS for the state of Florida. Uniforms won’t be as snappy of course, and the troops are OxyContin-addled obese MAGA slobs with delusions of grandeur, but it’s still disturbing as hell.

Good afternoon Patriots,
We can trust the FDLE (Florida Department if Law Enforcement) to keep our next POTUS safe 24/7 anywhere on the planet.
Can we put the same trust in the Federal “Police” AKA The Secret Service?
Think about it America,

Thanks as always my Man, Rick, your contrarian followup postings really elevate my standing here at our beloved host F. P.
I never thought my Sage Wisdom could be in such a high demand for a Nation searching for Truth in this twisted world of trolls trolling other trolls.
Rick, my Son, you are The Wind Beneith My Wings

But somehow it didn’t stop him from signing legislation to let people buy guns without any training or background checks. It’s fine for us citizens to live with the risk of being shot or killed by these lunatics but he’s really special and deserves 7×24 protection? He supported these laws so he can live with the consequences like the rest of us. He’s such a whiny little baby.

President Biden does’t assign the Secret Service, they do. Might want to look up the requirements for a Secret Service detail, I’m pretty sure a loser who has no chance of being chosen as a candidate qualifies.

This sounded a little like a plant question to me.

Possibly. But a plant by whom? And for what outcome?
Pathetic coverage

So many inaccuracies in this reporting: First, there was no “presidential assassination” in 1968. Could the word “candidate” not fit? Secondly, presidents do not determine which presidential candidates receive Secret Service protection. That would be a ridiculous setup.Third, there is a total lack of reasonable follow up on who the questioner was and why the candidate (who certainly knows better) would agree with the outrageous and inaccurate statements he made.

I’m curious to know if your comment was followed by a correction, because nowhere in this report (now) does it say there was a “presidential assassination” in 1968. It clearly states. “…further observations from the gentleman…including that the ‘last assassination’ of a presidential candidate was Robert F. Kennedy, Sr…”
So, did your comment precede a correction. regarding the word ‘candidate’?

It says “A Manchester man invoked a presidential assassination from 1968 in his question about the Governor’s security arrangements” up at the very top, in bold face. Ya don’t have to read very far to find it. You don’t even have to scroll down. It’s just right there at the very beginning. “presidential assassination” are the 6th and 7th words.

He should not receive a SS detail. He’s now getting Florida detail which is costing Florida taxpayers enough. He should have resigned as governor of Florida if he wanted to run for president. He just doesn’t care about Florida anymore. He should use his own money plus any donations he receives from people stupid enough to donate to this has been governor. He’s no better than trump.

Ronny, you aren’t a viable candidate. After Iowa and New Hampshire, you will finally realize that fact. But even duh Joe knows it now.
