Out-of-control Spring Break videos prompt Trump supporters to paint DeSantis’ Florida as lawless, ungovernable
---

And some supporters of former President Donald Trump are using the chaos to cast aspersion at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) who is expected to challenge Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination.

"If DeSantis can't control spring break mayhem, it's hard to believe he would/could stop the likes of Antifa/BLM rioters," wrote a user on Truth Social.

Trump supporters wasted no time, immediately calling it a problem for DeSantis and painting his state as lawless.

"Hey Ron, control your state. You have time, it’s not like your speaking out against Bragg or anything like that, you deepstate swine. Can’t control your state but you want to be leader of the free world," wrote another Truth Social user.

Users on other platforms also criticized the lack of backlash against DeSantis.

But the vitriol wasn't coming solely from Trump supporters. A number of liberals pointed to Florida's lax gun laws in the wake of the shootings.

"Florida can’t even handle Spring Break…2 dead, over 70 guns confiscated in Miami Beach. And he wants to do this? DeSantis promises Florida permitless carry gun law before he leaves governor’s office," wrote one.

When he says “when my dad was prez there was no blah, blah, blah” I think seaweed wasn’t destroying tourism until TFG moved to Florida.
