“You have a right to go out and demonstrate, but you can't provide material support to terrorism," he said.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his call to ban pro-Palestinian groups from Florida state colleges Sunday, after one of his Republican presidential primary opponents, Vivek Ramaswamy, slammed the demand as “a shameful political ploy.”

“It’s unconstitutional. It’s utter hypocrisy for someone who railed against left-wing cancel culture,” Ramaswamy posted on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday, alleging that it violates students’ right to free speech.

DeSantis held firm Sunday.

“This is not cancel culture. This group, they themselves said, in the aftermath of the Hamas attack, that they don’t just stand in solidarity that they are part of this Hamas movement,” DeSantis said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

      Came here to say this.

      Not that fascists care at all that others point out their hypocrisy. They don’t hold themselves to any standards, so if they are hypocrites, it simply does not matter.

        I had a friend who was radicalized during the pandemic by LoTT’s original account, and he doesn’t seem to care about the fact he likes yuri and loli stuff, all while calling LGBTQ+ people “pedophiles”. He just responds with the gigachad meme and a “who cares”. (Ironically he does think of male-on-male shota as pedophilic, likely he just calls sex acts he doesn’t like as such.)

          Had to look some of those terms up (ETA: and, uh, yuck). Still don’t know what “LoTT” is?

          But yeah, the right goes ALL IN on hypocrisy when it comes to their Qtarded nonsense. They don’t care about kids being trafficked, at all, they just want to smear others with terms they know most will find revolting.

          Even if Gaetz was caught, on video, balls deep in someone underage, they’d still support him. How many of theirs have these problems, besides Groomer Gaetz? Donnie himself of course, even talking about his own daughter FFS. Then there is Hastert. And Roy Moore.
