Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® said he would support the legal fund of a man who is accused of vandalizing a display by The Satanic Temple inside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday.
Michael Cassidy was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief for knocking over and destroying a statue erected by the temple inside the capitol, The Des Moines Register first reported.
“Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government,” DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. “I’ll chip in to contribute to this veteran’s legal defense fund. Good prevails over evil — that’s the American spirit.”
DeSantis promising other peoples’ money for causes that money was not donated for isn’t on anyone’s bingo cards at this point, because it’s practically a given.
Let’s not forget that DeSantis used Florida taxpayer money, which was ringfenced for dealing with migrants in Florida, to pay his friend’s chartered airline business to ship migrants from Texas to Massachusetts - an act that had no benefit to Florida whatsoever, but certainly benefited his friend’s chartered airline (which DeSantis uses frequently on the State taxpayer’s dime without disclosing his expenditure.
Criminals gonna crim.
The rivers of ruin run deep. We are reaching cartoon levels of corruption and it is only getting worse. The tree of liberty is no longer rotting, it is petrified and put on display, nothing more than a political prop.
