Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis mocked New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday, for suggesting at a rally earlier this month, that Empire State conservatives should take a hike.
“You have the governor of New York saying all Republicans need to get on a bus and leave the state and come to Florida,” DeSantis said at an unrelated press conference. “Who would say something so ridiculous? To say if you don’t agree with me then you don’t even have a right to be here.”
Hochul raised concerns for saying her conservative nemeses, including former President Donald Trump, gubernatorial opponent Lee Zeldin and Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, have no place in her state.
“Trump and Zeldin and Molinaro, just jump on a bus and head down to Florida where you belong. OK? Get out of town. Because you don’t represent our values,” Hochul said. “You’re not New Yorkers.”
While warning that intolerance is growing towards conservatives, DeSantis also spoke about recent comments from federal officials.
“And now you have Biden,” he said. “He’s going to say… the majority of the country that opposes his policies are somehow semi-fascist.”
DeSantis made the statements while mocking the planned enlargement of the Internal Revenue Service.
DeSantis said, “The bolstered agency would be used to target political opponents and that sharpening anti-Republican rhetoric suggests that it will be “weaponized” to punish rivals. They go after people they don’t like. That’s unfortunately where we are in this country.”
DeSantis, considered a potential 2024 Republican presidential nominee frontrunner, has routinely jousted with several Democratic Party leaders in the past few months, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
If this idiot gets another term as governor, I would think that the great state of New York is on the way to hell. She just told everyone in the state that if you don’t agree with her scum bag progressive policies, she doesn’t want your vote. Just like President Dim Wit, this country is going to implode if we allow these ass holes to stay in office.
The country is imploding on leftist policies and outrageous rhetoric. By design. What’s happening now is Obama and Co.’s dream come true for America. Reduced energy production, divide by racist rhetoric, and on and on. He and the left are filled with incredible hatred for America as founded. Get ready for a very uncomfortable ride over the next few years.
Exactly!
This is what a complete dictatorship looks like. To the citizens of New York, vote this boob out when the time comes. A free state won’t survive another term of this woman’s hate!!
