CNN — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday lashed out at those who called on him to condemn Nazi demonstrations that had taken place over the weekend near Orlando, accusing his political opponents of trying to “smear me as if I had something to do with it.”

DeSantis was responding to a question about viral videos and photos of a small group of people wearing Nazi symbols yelling antisemitic slurs while demonstrating Saturday and Sunday on streets and highway overpasses in the Orlando area. While other Florida political leaders, including many Republicans, publicly condemned the gathering, DeSantis had not, sparking some criticism of the governor on social media.

DeSantis said those critics were trying to “use this as some type of political issue,” adding: “We’re not playing their game.”

    The movie "Judgement at Nuremberg" laid this bullshit to rest in 1961

    You cannot abdicate responsibility because you didn't pull the trigger yourself. Enablers get the wall, too.
