Florida Governor DeSantis revives FLORIDA STATE GUARD
« on: Thu, 02 June 2022, 09:39:52 »
FSG is a long defunct paramilitary militia under the control of the Governor of Florida.

Since state militias were rolled into the National Guard last century, they have still been generally commanded by the Governors of the various states, although they can still be called up by the President if needed.

DeSantis has revived the old Florida State Guard to be specifically under his charge, and has not made it a secret that he intends to use it as an election tool.

The hits just keep on coming from this guy.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"
