A group of Donald Trump supporters was booted from a Ron DeSantis book signing event after he allegedly ordered security to kick out fans of the former president.
The Florida governor was at a Books-a-Million store in Leesburg, Florida, on Tuesday, when Trump supporters attempted to take part in the event.
The group, however, was not allowed in, with video of the incident showing a security guard telling them: 'They told me to say anyone wearing Trump has to go right now.'
The group then booed at the order, calling DeSantis out for not supporting 'free speech' as tensions rise between Trump and the governor, who is leading the latest Republican poll for a potential GOP presidential frontrunner.
The video, which was shared by conservative Laura Loomer, shows the outraged Trump supporters frustrated by the security officer who told them they were not allowed in.
'DeSantis' people are in there and had me come out to tell you guys not to be here while he's here signing books,' the officer told the group, who were clad in Trump shirts and signs.
As the group reiterated that DeSantis was not letting them demonstrate, they slammed him as being against freedom of speech.
The upset guard then said: 'Ok. Now you sound like CNN.'
Following the incident, Loomer told The Daily Beast: 'Police showed up and they told us that we were going to be cited and arrested for trespassing if we didn't leave because DeSantis didn't want us inside. It shows that he's a tyrant.'

Then there's,
1)
So much for “most free state.” Also, I thought he wasn’t running, so why is he so hostile to Trump supporters? Aren’t we on the same side? 🤔 This apparently happened at one of his “book signings,” which is just another way to word “sneaky campaign tour…” https://t.co/Wp5uLNMrHf— Yoshi The Patriot (@rinohuntah1776) March 1, 2023
Good question.
DS DeSantis
I’ve never been sold on RDS.
I feel like I starting to find out.

My friends. If you got MONEY I’ll let you in!
They wanted to demonstrate INSIDE...the guard said “Outside”..and he is right. I think they might need a permit, too.
This is stupid.
Ron needs to be warm and welcoming.
Thank you for coming today. I too believe in pro-MAGA policy.
Ron DeSantis security guard ordered to boot pro-Donald supporters
Again I will say:
“Now boys, stop fighting right now. I mean it.”—

They can support both Trump and DeSantis, FFS. Ron hasn’t officially announced his candidacy anyway, and he can’t anytime soon because he’ll have to resign as governor, which he promised he wouldn’t do. Sticky situation now, isn’t it, Ron?
I'd guess it was the decision of the bookstore, not the DeSantis folks. It was a book signing, not a campaign event.
Man in photo....
“So I saw this girl and she had the biggest pair of..... hands. They were just huge.”
First heard that in junior high.
Trump has consistently sent out “mean tweets” in one form or another. His recent comments about DeSantis are a continuation of this pattern. Some people get all offended by mean tweets.
The opponents of Trump (CNN, MSNBC, Pelosi, etc.) get very offended by such speech and try to shut down and cancel anyone who seems supportive of Trump. DeSantis is continuing this pattern.
Yeah, like Trump never had anyone booted from one of his events...who are you dopes kidding?
It’s War!
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Was it public or private property?
Private property then all is fine. I’m sure Trump wouldn’t allow opposition to overwhelm one of his rallies.
If a public store/book signing then this is BS.
