Dozens of Donald Trump supporters rallied around the former president during an event held in New York by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis is strongly expected to confirm he is running against Trump in the GOP primary for the party's 2024 presidential nomination. He spoke at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, Staten Island on Saturday as part of his national tour promoting his new book, The Courage to be Free: Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival.
Outside the venue, a group of Trump supporters were picketing the event and criticized the governor for appearing in the former president's home state just days before he is set to be indicted in New York as part of the Stormy Daniels hush money investigation.
"We're seeing a bunch of Long Island, New York Trump supporters rallying on behalf of the 45th and 47th president," Paul Ingrassia, co-host of the Right on Point podcast, told a reporter on Saturday.
"Just coming out to show that this is Trump country, this is not a place for Ron DeSantis. We're very upset by the fact that DeSantis has the temerity to step on Trump territory days before this indictment thing is going down."

“This is leftist behavior of shutting down political speech. “
You mean that peacefully protesting and picketing is “leftist behavior”? Exercising First Amendment rights is “leftist behavior”? Why do you hate the Constitution?
When they begin starting fires and physically attacking people, then it becomes leftist behavior.
These people need to get a life.
Picketing is not shutting down free speech rather it is expressing free speech you Desantis Nazi.
So what did he do "HORRIBLE", at the wrong time? His actions have been fine.
I see the agent provocateurs have clocked in this morning.
Is public discourse no longer tolerated by these lurking imps?
You would be up in arms, and rightly so.
But perspective always eludes you DeSantis soy boys.
But, thanks for exposing yourselves as people who have loyalty to a political party, the GOPe, and not a movement to reclaim our nation.
Ron the con is a snake. Typical establishment GOP behaviour.
Also, I am very surprised a Trump supporter knows the word "temerity."
The secret servers in Germany crazies do seem to be lining up behind Trump. That might be ok for the primaries but not so much the general election.
Stop clutching your pearls, Maris. These events are planned weeks in advance. You think he jumped on a plane to Long Island when he heard about the indictment? Let’s get some perspective hear, shall we?
No problems with the protests. They were peaceful.
No problems with DeSantis holding the event. It has nothing directly to do with President Trump.
But… DeSantis hopefully mentioned the indictment and the overwhelmingly political nature of it in his event.
If he didn’t, that is good indication of tone deafness and lack of courage on a major current political issue. And would be a sign that he lacks the acumen to navigate Washington type politics.
“As Ronald Reagan said many times, “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.” “

Sounds a bit cultish. We seen many Republicans who should be spoken ill of.
McConnell, Graham, Kinzinger, Cheney, Rove, Mattis, Powell, Rice, Chertoff, Kasich, Haslam, Hogan, Romney, Schwartzenegger, Huntsman, Weld, McCain, Collins, Flake, Murkowski, Buckley, Amash, Heck, Armatage, Barr, Sessions, etc, etc.
Trump handed the leadership of our country to the dems with Covid. Who wants another leader that fauci n birx can lead by his v@gina.
To ensure covid tyranny is a permanent state, he gave them mail in ballots n a bumpstock ban.
Plenty of folks here would hand him their last round, last weapon… just like they kneeled in fear and begged his vax to save them.
He wants more big government.. paying people to have children… we already do that via the EIC and school taxes… he won’t be happy under we are all NYrs.
A podcast that has not published a new episode since June of 2020.
"We're very upset by the fact that DeSantis has the temerity to step on Trump territory days before this indictment thing is going down."
LOL! What is “Trump territory”?
America.
No, we aren’t nice people, because the time to be nice passed long ago. Being nice only gets one shat upon. This is the very heart of the Country we’re talking about.
Not a pearl clutcher, factor.
Just women’s intuition.
He is going in the wrong direction with some bad advise.
Also,Puerto Rico and Guam...and some other territory I know I’m forgetting
.
Dozens? Oh my!!
