Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is pushing back on a false claim shared by a popular conservative account on X.
On Wednesday, the “Libs of TikTok” account posted about a “normally quiet, peaceful neighborhood in Florida” that “was shaken this week when 3 from Guatemala were arrested for forcing a woman into a car and her.”
