WATCH: DeSantis Says January 6 Defendants ‘Didn’t Display Patriotism’ by Protesting 2020 Election
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis jabbed January 6 protesters, many of whom remain imprisoned for simply trespassing, during a CNN town hall in Iowa on Thursday.
DeSantis was unsympathetic to their plight, saying they didn’t “display patriotism” while protesting the election certification.
“Did the Jan. 6 insurrectionists display patriotism, as some of them claim they did?” DeSantis was asked by a voter.
“No, of course not. That was not a good day for the country,” DeSantis replied.
“I think the media has taken that and the left has taken that and really tried to politicize it, but it was not a good day for the country,” the Republican presidential candidate continued. “Patriotism to me is when you put yourself out there and put service above self.”
Omg.
