TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Civil rights activists cheered when Ron DeSantis pardoned four Black men wrongfully convicted of rape as one of his first actions as Florida’s governor. But four years later, as DeSantis eyes the presidency, their hope that the Republican would be an ally on racial justice has long faded.

DeSantis is most likely very upset that he didn’t get to participate in extralegal lynchings of minorities.

He considers himself fortunate that he got to participate in completely legal torture and murder of Muslims.
