Ron DeSantis’ Bizarre Tribute to Hillary Clinton
When you’re 37 percentage points behind the frontrunner, what else can you do but borrow some of his best lines? “Lock her up” was the chilling anti-Hillary Clinton mantra that took over Donald Trump rallies in 2016, although once he won the election, President Trump admitted that was just for show, he didn’t want to hurt the Clintons.
Resurrecting that oldy-but-goody is another way for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to highlight Trump’s failure to deliver, when it would have been so easy once he was in the Oval Office to make good on his threat to name a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton after he got elected. (Trump even made the threat to her face during the second 2016 presidential debate.)
It’s a curious tribute to Hillary Clinton that she endures as a demonized figure in the right-wing universe, as Trump whines he’s being prosecuted in a partisan witch hunt, and he didn’t even have a server in his basement like Hillary did! Lock her up!!
