Ron DeSantis told drivers in Florida who are confronted by angry mobs of liberal protesters that ‘you have a right to defend yourself in Florida.’
Ahead of widespread anti-Trump protests planned this weekend and following the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, the governor was blunt about how Sunshine State motorists should deal with the demonstrations.
‘If you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety, and so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you,’ he told Dave Rubin.
‘You don’t have to sit there and just be a sitting duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets,’ DeSantis added.
