Gov. Ron DeSantis took a dig at the mentality of a Washington, D.C., jury on Wednesday, claiming the jury would indict and convict a ham sandwich if it were a"Republican ham sandwich."
"I think Americans need to be able to remove cases out of D.C. I think the juries are stacked. I think that they're going to want to convict people that they disagree with. Or at a minimum, you should be able to draw jury pool from across the entire country," he added."A D.C. jury would indict a ham sandwich, and convict a ham sandwich, if it was a Republican ham sandwich!" pic.twitter.
"I do though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington D.C. to their home districts," DeSantis shared on X."Washington D.C. is a 'swamp' and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality. One of the reasons our country is in decline is the politicization of the rule of law. No more excuses—I will end the weaponization of the federal government.
