DeSantis warns NYC police officers critical race theory 'teaching kids to demonize,' 'hate' law enforcement Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visited New York City on Monday, telling police officers there are other states that "will value your service" compared to liberal-run areas of the country he says are pushing "critical race theory teaching kids to demonize and to hate law enforcement." Kicking off his pro-law enforcement tour in Staten Island – the only New York City borough to support former President Donald Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 elections – DeSantis told a crowd that while the Big Apple saw a 23% surge in major crime in 2022, Florida’s crime rate is at a 50-year low. "Florida right now has a crime rate that's at a 50-year low," DeSantis said. "Why do we have a 50-year low? Why is crime a big issue in New York or Chicago or all these other places? And I wish I could tell you that, like Floridians are just so much better. But it's not the reason. It's not. The reason is, is we support strong policies to keep our communities safe and we back the blue, and we support their mission, and we back it up with money and all kinds of stuff to be able to do it."
The GOP had one of the best gifts possible for 2024,a democrat nominee that black voters were unexcited about.If Desantis is the nominee,they will be very excited to vote.
I think DeSantis is a little worried now that Florida has moved up on the list (bypassing New York) in violent crimes. Thus, he may be trying to hire more police to come to help Florida. wrbtrader
Actually state by state comparisons show NY and Florida have similar crime rates, with Florida having slightly higher violent crime rates. Additionally, NYC is one if not the safest big city in America. Meatball Ron is lying. https://247wallst.com/state/how-the-violent-crime-rate-in-new-york-compares-to-other-states/
2020 and 2022 clearly showed that what Florida wants is not what Pennsylvania,Michigan,Arizona,Georgia,Wisconsin,Nevada,Colorado etc wants. Cant believe after seeing the blowback from abortion rights and pissed off blacks in 2020 and 2022 that a guy who wants wants to be president would dig in deeper on those positions.
