Ron DeSantis criticized Donald Trump’s actions during the Capitol riot, highlighting that the former president did not take sufficient measures to halt the violence. Speaking at an event in South Carolina, the Florida governor acknowledged that Trump should have displayed stronger action and spoken out more forcefully during the events, as reported by USA Today. However, DeSantis expressed concern over the Justice Department’s attempt to pursue criminal charges in relation to the riot, cautioning against a constant push by one side to incarcerate the other.
During a press conference, DeSantis responded to Trump’s announcement of a potential indictment by emphasizing the need for equal justice. He criticized the politicization of the government in targeting Trump, stating that the recent rise in Trump’s popularity posed a threat to his opponents. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other Republicans also defended Trump, with McCarthy accusing the government of weaponizing its power, according to Politico. The Hill points out that McCarthy previously held Trump accountable for the riot, illustrating the evolving stances within the Republican Party.
