Even by Florida standards, this is grotesque:
A push by some Florida Republicans to use taxpayer money to help pay for former President Donald Trump’s multiple legal battles quickly fell apart after Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened to veto the legislation.
State Sen. Ileana Garcia, a Miami Republican who endorsed Trump’s reelection, has filed a bill for this year’s legislative session that could allow the state to hand out up to $5 million to the embattled Republican front-runner for president. The legislation has already won the endorsement from Jimmy Patronis, the state’s Republican chief financial officer, who for months has been publicly calling for taxpayers to pay to defend Trump from criminal charges.
How much actual contempt must you have for the voters of your state that you would spend their tax money defending that piece of shit? Thank god most of the Republican legislators in WV are functionally illiterate and won’t read about this but might have heard about it when it reached Fox News, but now won’t. Because it would have passed here and would not have been vetoed.
