Lord knows those Trump legal bills are piling up higher and higher. What’s a potential Fascist State to do? Florida Sen. Ilena Garcia proposed this interesting idea today:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Sen. Ilena Garcia has filed Senate Bill 1740, or the "Florida Freedom Fighters Fund," to set aside $5 million in public funds to help pay legal fees for "Florida residents running for president."
While the bill would hypothetically help pay legal fees for any Florida presidential candidate facing "political discrimination" in the form of criminal charges, Garcia made it clear that former President Donald Trump was the focus of the legislation.
"We're in the midst of an historic moment where we're watching an election that's trying to be stolen by left-wing prosecutors, the Biden administration and even Blue States," she said in a statement. "They're not trying to win at the ballot box; they're trying to keep President Trump off the ballot by weaponizing the courts.
"Having a Floridian in the White House is good for our state — and anything we can do to support Florida presidential candidates, like President Trump, will not only benefit our state, but our nation."
While Trump is currently facing civil and criminal charges in numerous jurisdictions, the bill filed by Garcia would only apply to criminal charges brought by "the Department of Justice or State Attorneys.”
I guess they take fighting freedom pretty seriously here in Florida!
