Ron DeSantis: “If you’re trying to restrict people, I’m standing in your way and I’m standing for the people of Florida.”

I think we’ll probably end up having done more [executions] than any administration in the history of the state of Florida.

I’m all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable. I think that’s important that we do that. And no one’s been stronger on law enforcement than me.

It wasn’t my original plan.

I think it's going to get a lot worse unless we have some protections for the people in Florida and so it's going to need to be there.
