Florida Governor Ron DeSantis scorched Soros-funded Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg during remarks on Monday, claiming the situation is a “manufactured circus” by a prosecutor “trying to virtue signal for his base,” The Daily Wire reports.
“I’ve seen rumors swirl. I have not seen any facts yet,” DeSantis said at a press conference. “And so I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I do know this, the Manhattan district attorney, is a Soros-funded prosecutor. And so he like other Soros-funded prosecutors, they weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety. He has downgraded over 50% of the felonies to misdemeanors, he says he doesn’t want to even have jail time for the vast, vast majority of crimes. And what we’ve seen in Manhattan is we’ve seen the crime rate go up, and we’ve seen citizens become less safe.”
“And I think that that’s fundamentally wrong,” DeSantis said. “I also think it’s important to point out when you’re talking about these Soros funded prosecutors, yes, they may do a high profile politicized prosecution. And that’s bad.”
