Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® said he would support the legal fund of a man who is accused of vandalizing a display by The Satanic Temple inside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday.

Michael Cassidy was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief for knocking over and destroying a statue erected by the temple inside the capitol, The Des Moines Register first reported.

“Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government,” DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. “I’ll chip in to contribute to this veteran’s legal defense fund. Good prevails over evil — that’s the American spirit.”

    That’s the main problem with the GOP, they’re too much “politician” and not enough “leader” or “fixer”, it’s all about greed and power with them rather than trying to solve problems for the people that they’re supposed to be responsible.

    Part of the problem is also conservatism/“libertarianism”, like what’s the point of being elected to government positions when you don’t even believe the government should exist? They’re just saboteurs undermining efforts to drag this country into the future.
