Earlier we reported that former President and presidential candidate Donald Trump was indicted in far left Manhattan after D.A. Alvin Bragg pushed to rehash old charges that many say were bumped from a misdemeanor to a felony, possibly as political persecution.
Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has caught much flak for being quiet for the most part on this issue. Today he spoke out, and without mentioning Trump’s name, appears to be defending him to a degree…
DeSantis tweeted:
“The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.”

This is a breaking development and will be updated below with potential news that is to come.
The world is responding, some negative, some positive:
It really shouldn't be "Florida will not assist"

It should be "Florida will protect the President and prevent extradition with our state militia if necessary"
There. Fixed it. https://t.co/eG3Birs87F

Another Twitter user mentioned the J6 prisoners:
What about the J6 prisoners and Doug Mackey, Ron?

Most of these politically persecuted people are your citizens, jackass.
Can you call Paul Ryan and your Bush donors and ask them if you're allowed to speak out on this stuff?
Thanks. https://t.co/E7Tt0PrPx7
Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin opined:
It is beyond belief that District Attorney Alvin Bragg has indicted a former President and current presidential candidate for pure political gain. Arresting a presidential candidate on a manufactured basis should not happen in America.

Trump responded on Truth so far in part by saying:
We will continue to follow this developing situation as things unfold quickly.
