Ron DeSantis throws a tantrum

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.

Even as we continue to watch the DOJ gradually work its way up the January 6th Capitol attack hierarchy and wait to see if the probe makes it all the way to the top, Attorney General Merrick Garland is making aggressive moves in other areas.

For instances, Garland just ordered the FBI to protect school board members around the country who are under relentless harassment and threat of violence from lunatic anti-vaxxer parents.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, patron saint of anti-maskers and unvaccinated idiots everywhere, tweeted this tantrum in response: “Attorney General Garland is weaponizing the DOJ by using the FBI to pursue concerned parents and silence them through intimidation. Florida will defend the free speech rights of its citizens and will not allow federal agents to squelch dissent.”

We’ll take DeSantis’ tantrum as a sign that Merrick Garland’s moves on this front are indeed going to be effective. It’s notable that a number of the “parents” showing up to disrupt school board meetings don’t even live in those school districts, meaning they’re professional agitators who have no fundamental right to even be there. Thanks to Merrick Garland, it looks like they’re about to learn that the hard way.
