Fried After Concession: DeSantis Is 'Greatest Threat To Democracy'



State Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried conceded the Florida Democratic gubernatorial primary to Rep. Charlie Crist. She says her “number one priority” is to make sure GOP Gov. DeSantis is a “one-time governor and not eligible to run for president in 2024.”

  1. I don t know about you but I want a republic not a democracy……power of the people not the government….thats what we also want in Miami….the government is doing a horrible job but here because of DeSantis the silent majority is being heard…finnaly……thats it and that's all

  2. She said" we just need assistance outside of FL". WE FLORIDIANS ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF MAKING OUR OWN DECISIONS ABOUT OUR OWN STATE. KEEP YOUR OUTSIDE INFLUENCERS OUT OF OUR STATE POLITICS. WE ARE A POWERFUL STATE AND ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF MOBILIZING TO INFLUENCE OTHERS , IF WE SO CHOOSE, TOO.

  3. DemoKKKrats is not a synonym for Democracy.

  4. Ron DeSantis is the Greatest Threat to DemoKKKrats after Trump.

  5. De saty corruto no lo queremos mas

  6. 3:27 Florida is not lost. For sure and that's thanks to DeSantis and not the democrats. We the rest are quite lost and struggling because so many prefer to go woke. May God bless DeSantis and Florida and all the rest of us cause we surely need it.

  7. Agree with her. DeSantis is a dictator want to be

  8. Fried, nuff said… 🎤

  9. Im tired of democrats saying that republicans “are a threat to democracy”. Stop lying to people and if anything the democrats want to take away everything that America stands for.

  10. DeSantis is too Woke for US.

    He should Try China or Russia
    to be a Dictator. 😏

  11. Omg, thank you for stating what should be obvious, that Florida isn't lost! I'm so sick of Democrats treating it like it's this deep red state, when it is clearly very much a swing state still! Trump won it by only 3% points in 2020. DeSantis and Scott didn't even win their elections by 1% point in 2018. And Obama won it twice! Democrats, do NOT give up on Florida!!!

  12. That was a very interesting statement that she just made on national TV to try to make sure Ron DeSantis is not “eligible” to run for president in 2024 sound familiar you’re doing the same thing Donald Trump so that’s the new tactic we’re just politicizing the FBI and the DOJ against political opponents unbelievable are you gonna raid Ron DeSantis’s house next? Makes you think that was a bold thing to say on television

  13. Burnt, Fried and laid aside. DeSantis is a power house and they have no chance. The chic is kind of hot tho.

  14. Why worry? Things never go wrong under religious fundamentalist thug rule.

  15. Ron DeSantis in not a threat to Democracy. He is a threat to false narratives peddling fake news corporate media.

  16. Crist is doussssssshhhhhhhbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggg. just like the democrats

  17. The Governor from Florida don't care for the Republicans take care only for himself he's going to be another Trump

  18. American democrats are so funny . Every time some one disagrees or holds completely a different view or opinion with them ,they label you as “a threat to democracy “ Am starting to question if they actually know what democracy is ?

  19. DeathSanitis is a Death Cult Gov.We need to vote him out biggest tread to Democracy .I am in for Chris and Fried 🙏🏻❤️👍❤️

  20. Vote 💙💙💙💙💙

  21. Thete is a strong anti democracy movement in your country. The entire current extremist republican party is anti democracy.
    You need a third national party, yesterday.

  22. DeSantis is a Facist thru & thru.

  23. DeSantis is proof positive that DNA contains traits in personality as well.
    Wasn't his father one of the psychos in Fidels prisons that was released during the Marial Boat Lift and given citizenship by Ronald Reagan in the Republican party?…

  24. RON DESANTIS WILL BE A ONE TERM GOVERNOR

  25. Ron DeSantis is actually Dotard with a mask on

  26. Would love to see Nikki team up with Charlie, they would make a great team. The women's vote in Florida is up for grabs.

  27. Broken record line used by the left….. “Greatest threat to Democracy”! Really? I mean REALLY? The shortage of semiconductors, food and rapid inflation are much more threatening! But let’s not tell your voters the truth! Just Republicans bad!

  28. YOU GOT FRIED EGG ON YOUR FACE , DeSantis Winning top gov this looks like a dog fight .

  29. So let me get this straight so I can understand someone who wants to vote for a candidate that they like who likes what they're doing to their state is somehow a tyrant 🤔👌

  30. DeSantis is an actual leader who looked after the people of his state unlike most others.

  31. "Not eligible to run for president " ……I smell a democratic playbook.

  32. Ron desantis best governor ever…

  33. . . . Thank you for courage and truth! You and Charley would be an excellent team.

  34. Decent people must get behind Gov Crist and support him tremendously cuz you have to get rid of extreme demons in today’s gop!!!!

  35. DeSantis Is Greatest Threat To Groomers🥱

  36. Ron DeSantis is the best Governor in the United States America MAGA 2024

  37. Wait, I thought Trump was the greatest threat to our democracy? 😂

  38. America isn't a democracy its a constitutional Republic

  39. Ron Desantis is no mystery to anybody, he is up front and outspoken in his awfulness. What goes on in the heads of people who can overcome their distaste and vote for him is the real mystery. Is their instinctive dislike of democrats so strong that they can hold their noses and vote for such a shallow unprincipled creature as Desantis. If so, by the time they they change their minds and want to vote him out they will find that Desantis has closed that annoying loophole called democracy.
