The Trump protestors glow in the dark, you can see them if you're driving. You just run them over, that's what you do.

Ron DeSantis Says Floridians Have Right to Hit Protesters With Cars
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."
DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "We also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.
"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you."
DeSantis' comments come ahead of the "No Kings" protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.
Molly Best, deputy press secretary for the Executive Office of the Governor of Florida, told Newsweek: "In Florida, violence is not condoned, and residents have the right to defend themselves and their families."
Why It Matters
A court in 2017 found that driving a car into a protest was not an act of self-defense, as James Alex Fields Jr., was found guilty of murder for hitting and killing civil rights activist Heather Heyer, a counter-protester at the Unite the Right Rally in 2017. Now, the governor of Florida is telling people they have a right to hit protesters with their car if they feel attacked.
DeSantis is not the only governor calling for more aggressive tactics against protesters, as Greg Abbott has called in the National Guard to quell demonstrations in Texas.
What To Know
The Florida governor was speaking with host Dave Rubin about the ongoing protests in Los Angeles against ICE raids and the protests against the Trump administration planned for this weekend.
