The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia ®, would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

    What the fuck. Do crimes and we’ll pay your bills! All while telling people you’re the real victim. Those loser residents in Florida were ready to give their money to crooks in broad daylight. They deserve what they get down there. Sink into ocean Florida.
