The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia ®, would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

      Damn. Never thought I’d agree with Ron “Slutty Little Heels” DeSantis on anything.

        If you think about it, even a stopped clock will be right twice a day, a defective clock, however, can go months or even years without being right once!
