DeSantis says he would push to repeal Trump criminal justice reform if elected

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 05/26/23 5:06 PM ET

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Friday that if elected president, he would call on Congress to repeal the criminal justice reform bill signed into law by then-President Trump, his latest attack on Trump from the right.

DeSantis, appearing on “The Ben Shapiro Show,” criticized the First Step Act, a bipartisan bill passed in 2018 that reduced mandatory minimum sentences, expanded credits for well-behaved prisoners looking for shorter sentences and aimed to reduce recidivism.

The Florida governor, who officially entered the 2024 White House race on Wednesday, called the legislation “basically a jailbreak bill.”

DeSantis voted for the initial House version of the bill while serving as a congressman in 2018, something Trump’s team has highlighted. He had resigned his seat before the final version, which critics argued contained significant changes from the House version to make it more moderate, came up for a vote later in 2018.

3. One of the very few good things Trumpy did

There aren’t many, but I certainly give credit where it’s due. In this case, Trumpy did the right thing. DeathSentence will consistently do the wrong thing.

4. DeInSanity assumes if he advocates

for the despicably outrages, the Trump brain dead cult will abandon dear leader and jump on the MoRon train..never going to happen..Trump's base literally worship him..they adore his profanity laced victim/hero rants, his hate for "the other", laugh when he disparages women, that the 2020 election was rigged and Biden is the devil...they're good with his depravity...DeInsanity is a Trump wannabe, cleaner, younger, less caustic, but Trump's idiotic soulless faithful are sticking with the guy who's sticking it to the libs...
