The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.

“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”

    If you can reasonably trace your ancestors and they came from a very different country than the one you live in, then you don’t have much of a right to complain. People used to complain about Italians and Irish coming to the U.S. as well and now the people with Irish and Italian ancestry will complain about immigrants while celebrating their own “heritage.”

      That makes me laugh every time. I told my coworker that my family has been on this continent longer than her and in fact have been on this piece of land longer than her since it was part of Mexico before the US took it. Heck I’m from native ancestry (couldn’t trace it exactly), even before borders my ancestors have been roaming these lands. Shut her up for a minute but she’s very passive aggressive and self victimizing as a Caucasian republican.
