At a New Hampshire campaign stop, Florida Republican Governor and wannabe presidential candidate Ron DeSantis used violent threats common in modern GOP politics, saying that he was going to start “slitting throats on day one” if he’s elected President.
Newsweek reports DeSantis made the statement Sunday that was recorded by New Hampshire Public Radio when asked about his priorities if he should be elected President. DeSantis went on a rant about his perceived bias in government against conservatives saying, “We’re going to have all these Deep State people, you know we’re going to start slitting throats on day one.”
The barbeque was hosted by former Playgirl model and one-time Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown, who lost a Senate race in New Hampshire before being named ambassador to New Zealand by Donald Trump in 2017.
