Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) questioned why those partaking in the viral campus protests across the United States are even protesting, arguing that most could not give an answer themselves.

The Florida governor was contrasting how universities in the Sunshine State have responded to campus protests with those in other states, noting how one encampment by protesters at the University of Florida only lasted “a few minutes.” Regarding the protesters themselves, DeSantis argued that “very few” of those protesting have actually studied the history between Israel and the Palestinians and are just partaking in the protests to support “a cheap cause.”
