"Disgrace": Florida GOP bill to use taxpayer money to cover Trump legal fees goes down in flames


A plan spearheaded by some Florida Republicans to use taxpayer funds to assist former President Donald Trump in covering fees tied to his numerous legal woes was ditched after Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would veto the proposal, per Politico.



The bill was filed earlier this month by Sen. Ileana Garcia, R-Fla., for this year's legislative session, and could allow Florida to give Trump up to $5 million as he navigates four criminal indictments at the federal and state level as well as a second defamation trial with writer E. Jean Carroll. Politico reported that the proposed legislation, which would give money to presidential candidates who were Florida residents, had already received backing from Florida's Republican chief financial officer and a member of DeSantis's Cabinet, Jimmy Patronis.



“It’s in Florida’s best interest to make sure their champion for the President is allowed a fair shot at the White House without being taken down by some fake witch hunt,” Patronis said Monday, per The Washington Post.



Patronis also alleged that having taxpayers pay for Trump's legal bills was a financially sound move.



“If we can help and support a Florida candidate for the White House, that’s just good from a dollars and cents perspective,” he said, according to Politico. “From all the decisions the federal government makes with regard to military installations, to roads, to disaster aid — it’s in Florida’s best interest to make sure their champion for the President is allowed a fair shot at the White House without being taken down by some fake witch-hunt. Moreover, if Governor DeSantis makes another run at it, he has said that he too could face the same legal headwinds that President Trump is facing.”

OMG! That's unreal!! The entire concept...

And that last line - DeSantis has said that he could face the same legal issues?? Has he committed crimes? If so, then yeah, he should find himself in the same spot. BUT if that's just him trying to claim it's all fake, the Dems will do this to any GOP candidate.... yeah, let's see how that plays out.

Has the state of FL confirmed that 45 is their champion? Has he been named Official State Champion? Like state flower or state bird?

Also, a fake witch-hunt means it’s not real a witch-hunt. So, it’s a legitimate trial.
