Ron DeSantis putting on the ‘full armor of God’ to fight leftism, receives standing ovation for stirring remarks by SARAH TAYLOR for The Blaze
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) says that he is preparing to put on the “full armor of God” to fight against leftism.
What are the details?
During the weekend’s Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, DeSantis said that he aims to lead the charge in taking a stand against “the left’s schemes.”
“It ain’t going to be easy,” he warned. “You got to be strong. You got to put on the full armor of God. You got to take a stand, take a stand against the left’s schemes, you got to stand your ground, you got to be firm, you will face flaming arrows, but take up the shield of faith and fight on.”

“So I look forward to joining with you in the battles to come,” he continued. “I can tell you that in the state of Florida, I’ll be holding the line, I’ll be standing my ground, I won’t back down, and I have only begun to fight.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Florida Republican said that he is proud to be governor of the great state and said that he was “not going to settle for merely being the controlled opposition to leftism.”
As such, he said that he resisted “Fauci-ism” and was able to liberate the state during the pandemic.
“I can tell you if Florida had not done what we did [with the pandemic], many other states would not have followed, and we could still be in lockdown in this country right now,” DeSantis said. “So ultimately, Florida chose freedom over Fauci-ism, and we are better off for it.”
He also promised to continue protecting Florida’s first responders.
“I … proposed that our legislature pass and I signed a few months ago the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement legislation in the country, which basically says in Florida, we are not going to let any local government defund the police,” he insisted. “We’re also going to make sure that people who engage in mob violence are held accountable.”
