“How much money are you taking from oil companies?” they said as security tackled them.
“That is (what’s) wrong with the college system right there. That’s exhibit A,” DeSantis said toward the protestor.
“Second thing is second, excuse me, hold on,” DeSantis said to a protestor earlier on.
“Excuse me. I’m doing this… but you’re interrupting and you’re being rude. Everyone else is listening. And you’re butting in. I don’t care. I know you have an agenda. I know you have an agenda.”
“We take questions from folks all the time,” DeSantis later said.
He emphasized not allowing such interruptions to influence policy or education in Florida.
“Yeah, I’m not going to let these, these numbnuts rush the stage or do anything like that, but I mean people that ask, you know, normal, respectful questions, we’re happy to do,” he pressed.
“Those people like that in Florida are the people we beat every single day on policy,” DeSantis said. “We do not let them win. We win all these battles. We’re not letting them indoctrinate our kids, not on our watch.”
