Florida's Ron DeSantis was savagely booed off the podium at a vigil he attended for three black people killed at a Dollar Store during a racist mass shooting.
The Governor, 44, was called out by local councilmembers before taking to the mic himself and was met with overwhelming negativity from the crowd - as one heckler shouted: 'Your policies caused this!'
Councilwoman Ju'Coby Pittman called for better state funding before DeSantis took to the stage: 'Let's be honest, we don't get the money we should get.
'But when I ask for some money this week, we gonna get it.'
He said: 'Councilwoman, I gotcha, don't worry about it. We've already been looking to identify funds to be able to help one, security at Edward Waters College.
'We are not going to allow these institutions to be targeted by people-'
DeSantis then continued: 'We're going to be announcing some stuff tomorrow morning which I think will help, not only with security, but also an attempt to help these families.

desantis makes promises for money for security for the the college...and 'some stuff'...
and a bunch of comments pandering the crowd
How many thugs are packin’ at Edwin Waters?..................
This was a no-win situation for de Santis.
Funny how the only black lives that seem to matter are the ones who die at the hands of non-blacks.
Everyone needs to stop trying to appease the enemy. No apologies, no empathy, no compromise. Just shut up and defeat them. No quarter.
All of ‘em
The biggest no win is pandering to blacks.
Correct!...................
If they cannot lock Trump up, they will try starting protest and riots.
He should not have been at the event in the first place.
Agreed.
FR has too many cuckservative Christians who want to pander to blacks.
It will always cost more white votes, and they will never be appeased.
Republicans can never win in an identity politics contest.
....”...Ju’Coby Pittman called for better state funding before DeSantis took to the stage: ‘Let’s be honest, we don’t get the money we should get. ‘But when I ask for some money this week, we gonna get it.’
“We gonna get it......” what is this “money we should get...”?? and whose money is it that should be given to these folks anyway...? for every white person who kills a black, the news story never ends....for blacks to kill other blacks.....crickets.......
What you just said there...
That, would have been a good response.
Instead he panders to people that will never be satisfied.
These problems need to be place squarely back on the real racists.
This was a no-win situation for de Santis.
The problem is speaking form a script instead of from the heart. If you speak from a script and there is a rebuttal, you don’t know what to do.
My first thought is how would Trump handle this? Trump does not have a script; he speaks from the heart. It is his strong point and weak point but MOSTLY his strong point. I can work with a man not wearing a mask.
Long story short.... if a crazy white guy hates blacks and wants to kill them ,he will find a way. No law, no politician, no loud mouth opportunist will stop them.
We gon git us sum caaaaash money. Yessir mhmmm
GARBAGE ARTICLE
They broke in to local programming a little while ago to show the EWC president honor a security guard. I guess he saw dude in his tactical vest and AR and called the police? 🤷
Something any of us would have done anyway. SMH
I’m surprised the guard didn’t shoot..................
DeSantis shouldn’t have bothered to show up at an event which was planned by and attended by race grifters.
