Florida state Sen. Ileana Garcia, a Miami Republican who endorsed former President Donald Trump’s presidential candidacy months ago, introduced legislation this month that would have forced Florida taxpayers to cover his mounting legal bills.
It would have made state money available to Florida residents running for president who are “subject to political discrimination.” In a statement put out by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, not by Garcia’s office, Garcia said her legislation was necessary because “we’re in the midst of an historic moment where we’re watching an election that’s trying to be stolen by left-wing prosecutors, the Biden administration, and even Blue States.”
