Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ripped to pieces

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis keeps finding new ways to top himself in the awfulness department each day. He’s enacting blatantly unconstitutional legislation to target protesters and harass transgender kids. He keeps attacking reporters. And he’s still trying to cover up his COVID vaccine scandal.

Now DeSantis is insisting that the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial only voted to convict out of fear of a “mob.” Suffice it to say that Nikki Fried, the highest ranking elected Democrat in the State of Florida, was having none of it:

Nikki Fried continued: “Thank you, members of the jury for delivering justice — I hope this brings George Floyd’s family some solace. This is an important step towards accountability, but there’s still a whole lot of work to be done.”
