TALLAHASSEE, Florida (LifeSiteNews) – Republican Ron DeSantis delivered a forceful inaugural address Tuesday for his second term as Florida’s governor, laying out a proactive conservative vision for the state in remarks that many took as a vision for the entire country.
“Freedom lives here, in our great Sunshine State of Florida,” DeSantis declared. “Over the past few years, as so many states in our country grinded their citizens down, we in Florida lifted our people up. When other states consigned their people’s freedom to the dustbin, Florida stood strongly as freedom’s linchpin. When the world lost its mind – when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue – Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world.”
“And now we are here today because the people of Florida have validated our efforts in record fashion,” he added, referencing his landslide 19-point, 1.5-million-vote re-election last month, which contrasted starkly with the Republican Party’s overall underperformance across the rest of the country.
