DeSantis says Trump not a danger to democracy and should have gone further while president

yeah, ilDuce. He deserved a third impeachment!

Ron DeSantis, performing poorly in the polls, on Monday insisted his main opponent for the GOP presidential nomination, Donald Trump, is not a danger to democracy despite the ex-president’s fascistic remarks over the weekend.

“No,” DeSantis told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski when the “Morning Joe” co-host asked “Do you think Donald Trump is a threat to democracy?”

“Look,” said the governor, defending the Republican frontrunner he is currently trailing by an average of more than 50 points in the latest polls, “I think Donald Trump, when he was president, I think that he really didn’t take some of the action that he could have constitutionally taken.

“And so I understand there’s a narrative saying he’s going to be much different this next term, but I look back, you know, what didn’t he do?”

Telegraphing that had he been president, or if he becomes president, he would embrace far-right extremist policies even more than Donald Trump did, DeSantis listed what he suggested were some of Trump’s misses while in the Oval Office.

“You know, he didn’t move forcefully to build the border wall that languished for years,” criticized the Florida governor. DeSantis has spent large amounts of taxpayer money flying migrants north, which has been under federal investigation.

“He didn’t fire people like Anthony Fauci from the COVID task force when many conservatives, including me in Florida, were saying they needed to go a different direction, even gave Fauci an award his last day in office, a lot of the people who he appointed he sent trashed after leaving office, but he could have fired them.”

“He didn’t really take any action to reform the bureaucracy or to curb the administrative state. So I think what is being said would be him acting in ways that actually were not how he acted before he deferred a lot of his presidency to some of these people that he now criticizes.”
