Gov. DeSantis Slams Hakeem Jeffries: ‘I Would Like Nothing Better than to Have Him Campaigning All Across Florida’

TRANSCRIPT:

DESANTIS: “We got this guy, Hakeem Jeffries. Have you guys heard of him? I don’t know that he’D do very well in Chipley if he ran for office, but he’s threatening Florida. Oh, you can’t do — you do the redistricting, we’re going to come down, we’re going to get you guys, all this stuff. Go ahead. Make my day. Bring it on. I would like nothing better than to have him campaigning all across Florida. I don’t know that he would do well here. I don’t know he would do well almost anywhere in Florida. And I don’t think that’s something that Floridians would want to see. But we are not going to be cowed by threats from some machine politician from Brooklyn, it doesn’t work that way down here. That’s not how we roll. So, I know the legislature is ready to go. They’re going to get the job done.”
