Watch: Ron DeSantis heckled and booed at a vigil following racist murders in Florida

Associated Press reports on how Gov. DeSantis’ unexpected appearance at a Jacksonville, Florida vigil after a shooting was cut short.

The city of Jacksonville, Florida has been in a mourning period following Saturday’s murders of three Black people by the hands of a white, racist shooter. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took time to make an appearance, give his condolences and attempt to speak on the matter before a crowd of mourning Jacksonville residents.

DeSantis attempted to condemn the 21-year-old shooter, who, according to the Associated Press, left behind a suicide note detailing their racist motivation clearly. The Republican presidential hopeful seemed to be blindsided by the immediate questioning, jeers and boos.
