Florida Gov.Ron DeSantis set social media aflame Tuesday night after he did not hold back in his response to a disruption by a woman he accused of being paid by George Soros, yelling back at her that "this ain’t my first rodeo."DeSantis was touting Florida’s economy at a state GOP campaign event in Tampa when he was interrupted mid-sentence by a heckler.
The governor did not hesitate in his response."Hey, Soros isn't paying you enough because you're not very good at this," he said, pointing to the woman as security personnel approached her in the crowd."You should try again," DeSantis continued as the crowd booed the heckler.Keeping with the Soros line, DeSantis piled on, "He needs to pay some better talent instead of having people like you show up.

Okay?""I've seen people try to do this over the years," he continued."Some are more effective than others.""I remember I had Antifa charge me, and one of our FDLE [Florida Department of Law Enforcement] leveled them, and it was funny, and it was good.""But here's the deal," he leaned in.
