DeSantis on January 6: ‘It Was Not an Insurrection,’ ‘to Say that They Were Seditionists Is Just Wrong’

Ron DeSantis to Russell ░░░░░░░░ on his podcast late ░░░░░░░░ week DeSantis It was ░░░░░░░░ an insurrection These are ░░░░░░░░ that were there to ░░░░░░░░ a rally and then ░░░░░░░░ were there to protest ░░░░░░░░ it devolved and it ░░░░░░░░ into a riot But ░░░░░░░░ idea that this was ░░░░░░░░ plan to somehow overthrow ░░░░░░░░ government of the United ░░░░░░░░ is not true and ░░░░░░░░ s something that the ░░░░░░░░ had spun up just ░░░░░░░░ try to basically you ░░░░░░░░ get as much mileage ░░░░░░░░ of it and use ░░░░░░░░ for for partisan and ░░░░░░░░ for political aims And ░░░░░░░░ I know there were ░░░░░░░░ lot of people that ░░░░░░░░ there who were just ░░░░░░░░ and they didn t ░░░░░░░░ any designs on doing ░░░░░░░░ And so we just ░░░░░░░░ to be honest about ░░░░░░░░ If somebody is honestly ░░░░░░░░ an insurrection against the ░░░░░░░░ S government then prove ░░░░░░░░ that s the case ░░░░░░░░ and I d be ░░░░░░░░ to accept it But ░░░░░░░░ you re showing me ░░░░░░░░ that there are a ░░░░░░░░ of protesters there and ░░░░░░░░ ended up evolving you ░░░░░░░░ in ways that was ░░░░░░░░ of course but to ░░░░░░░░ that they were seditionists ░░░░░░░░ just [wrong].”
