Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says he'll take part in next month's first Republican primary debate in Milwaukee telling Fox News last night he'll be there whether or not the former president shows up.

We will make sure as president, we leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history where it belongs.

School is a safe haven.

This stuff just flooding in, it’s affecting communities all across the country.

If this election is about Biden's failures and our vision for the future, we are going to win. If it's about relitigating things that happened two, three years ago, we're going to lose.

You can't have one faction of society weaponizing the power of the state against factions that it doesn't like. And that's what you see.

This is weaponization of the FBI.

We will fight the woke in the schools. We will fight the woke in the corporations. We will fight the woke in the hot halls of Congress.

He used to say how great Florida was. Hell, his whole family moved to Florida under my governorship. Are you kidding me?

I think that candidates that focus on the past have not done well.

Why didn't he do it in his first four years?

I believe Republicans negotiated too much, they gave up too much in terms of spending.

Leadership is not entertainment.

If you replace a Clarence Thomas with somebody like a Roberts or somebody like that, then you're going to actually see the Court move to the left. And you can't do that.

He's been attacking me by moving left. So, this is a different guy than 2015-2016. Two million illegal aliens he wanted to amnesty.

I do believe that there's a limit to the number of voters that would consider the former president at this point.

And most important of all, thank you to the greatest first lady in all 50 states.

I don't know what happened to Donald Trump. This is a different guy today than when he was running in 2015 and 2016, and I think the direction that he is going with his campaign is the wrong direction.

I would not keep Chris Wray as director of the FBI. There will be a new one on day one. I think the DOJ and FBI have lost their way. I think that they've been weaponized against Americans who think like me and you and I think that they…

The DOJ and FBI have been weaponized. On day one, I will have folks that will get together and look at all these cases, who people are victims of weaponization or political targeting, and we will be aggressive at issuing pardons.

DeSantis Vows to Review Cases of January 6 Defendants if Elected

We have to reject the culture of losing that has infected our party in recent years. We have no more time for excuses.

I have only begun to fight.

I don't have time for drama. I don't have time for palace intrigue. I want to make sure that we're executing the agenda.

Claiming that Florida is unsafe is a total farce. I mean, are you kidding me?
