“Imagine if we could fix the double standard of justice at the federal level. If we could fix the double standard of justice that doesn’t lock up a Hunter Biden but does everything possible to prosecute a President Donald Trump.
“So, here’s where I’m going with this. I think we need to set up a new legal defense fund for any Florida presidential candidate to use when they are targeted by politically motivated prosecutors, by the Department of Justice.
“When these men and women are brave enough to put their name on the ballot, we should protect them. Are you with me? We need to fund this.
“Our state right now is in the best fiscal health we’ve ever been in the history of the state, so it wouldn’t hurt to take a little bit of our budget surplus, set it aside.
“We can use this to protect any Floridian who wants to defend themselves and make sure these politically motivated prosecutors don’t magically appear during election cycle.” – Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis, speaking yesterday at a state GOP event.
I think we need a new state law to set up a LEGAL DEFENSE fund for any Florida Presidential Candidate to use when they get targeted by politically motivated lawsuits just because they are brave enough to put their name on a ballot! (1/3) pic.twitter.com/urE8mtmqN5

We need a fund to support this in our state. We can use our record budget surpluses to do it. That way ANY Floridians who run for President can have a way to defend themselves from politically motivated lawsuits that just magically appear during an election cycle. (2/3)

That is just wrong. Weaponizing our government is wrong and there should be more resources available to Floridians to fight back! We can even call it the: Defending Freedom Fighters Fund! (3/3)
