More Fake News

The left-wing media was having hysterical fits this weekend after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis submitted a budget request for the Florida National Guard. Funding the National Guard is generally a mundane exercise, but DeSantis can't do anything without the left-wing media losing its mind.

Among the provisions in the governor's request was $3.5 million to reestablish the Florida State Guard, a small volunteer force that is independent of the National Guard. To many left-wing pundits, this simply proved that DeSantis was a fascist dictator who "can't be trusted" with his own private army that will "wreak havoc on vulnerable people."

But the DeSantis proposal is not a crackpot scheme devised by a wannabe dictator. Nearly two dozen states currently have these forces, including California and New York. But you wouldn't know that from the left's insane reaction.

And that reaction is very revealing. This is all the left has – fear and misinformation. They did it to Trump, and they're now trying to smear DeSantis as a fascist. It's more fake news and totally false, but that won't stop them.

They'll do it to any leading conservative, no matter how polite they are. Remember, Mitt Romney killed women and was going to put black Americans "back in chains."
