DeSantis responded by expressing his support for free speech and peaceful demonstrations, but also spoke out against the takeover of state capitals, which he noted has occurred in other states. DeSantis went on to criticize what he saw as a double standard in the media's coverage of such takeovers.

The governor went on to clarify that his administration has been supportive of people's right to speak their minds, but not at the expense of hijacking or interrupting the functioning of government. &quo
