DeSantis could be risking his political ambitions over conspiracy theories. (via MaddowBlog)
Don’t get me wrong. The Federal Reserve has made mistakes in recent years. It’s not immune from criticism, including criticism of its record on financial oversight or inflation. And yet, somehow, it still seems pretty bonkers for a major, supposedly mainstream politician to attack the Federal Reserve for trying to steal your guns. Which is what Florida governor and likely 2024 presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis suggested in recent remarks.
But then he kept going. “Guess what’ll happen?” the governor said, in high dudgeon. “They’re going to try to impose an ESG [Environmental, Social and Governance] agenda through that. You go and use too much gas, they’re going to stop it. They’re not going to honor the transaction because you’ve already bought more than what they think. You want to go buy a rifle, they’re going to say, ‘No, you have too many, too many of those, you can’t do it.
Let’s also state for the record that it’s a little unsettling that DeSantis sees this as a legitimate concern — and feels strongly enough about his fears that he spoke publicly about them while gearing up for a national campaign.

GOP's DeSantis visits Whitmer's Michigan, the 'anti-Florida'Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is going to the central Michigan community of Midland for a county GOP event before heading to speak at Hillsdale College. Michigan is a battleground state transformed by Democratic majorities. Thursday's visit will put the Republican governor's agenda in direct contrast with one of the Democratic party's brightest stars, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. In Florida, DeSantis and the GOP-dominated Legislature have moved the state further right, waging a culture war on what the governor has called “woke” agendas. In Michigan, Whitmer has led the way on codifying abortion rights and advancing sweeping gun reform with Democrats in full control for the first time in decades.
