From the Editorial Board: Let’s be clear: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has every right to appear in Elmhurst at a private event without undue governmental hindrance.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks to a crowd of about 200 at the Knights of Columbus in Elmhurst on Feb. 20, 2023.
Pritzker’s comments were made in reference to DeSantis’ appearance Monday before the Fraternal Order of Police in Elmhurst. The speaking engagement was part of a short, targeted DeSantis road show on Presidents Day, designed mostly to establish his bona fides as a law-and-order figure while tweaking Democratic governors dealing with crime.Interestingly, DeSantis appeared before friendly law enforcement audiences in suburbs ringing three major cities.
But the second part of that tweet goes much too far: Why should every candidate “hoping to hold public office” be obliged to “condemn” a speaking appearance by the democratically elected governor of Florida? Sure they do. And attending a speech by DeSantis does not mean you are a hateful person deserving of condemnation.
