Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was at Mount Rushmore for Trump’s speech and the July 4th fireworks tonight.
While speaking to Sean Hannity of FOX News, DeSantis praised America’s founding fathers and the government they created, marveling at the fact that America is still going strong after 250 years.
During his remarks, DeSantis also took a shot at Zohran Mamdani and the progressive left, suggesting that they are actually regressive, noting that the founding fathers rejected many of the ideas being pushed by the left today.

DESANTIS: “250 years — if you think about it, republics are not supposed to last that long.”
“When the founding fathers set forth these important principles, they knew that all these republics in history had failed and they were trying to confound history.”
“And what they laid down were enduring truths.”
“Our rights either come from God or the government.”
“If they come from God that’s it, there is no more debate about it.”
“Government’s either got to be limited or not. If it is, then we always have to have limited government.”
“And when I see the Mamdani’s of the world, they’re basically offering these ideas, they claim they are progressive, they’re really regressive.”
“They’re things that the founding fathers rejected, they’re ideas that have failed throughout history and we have a chance now with 250 to look back and say we are inheritors of an awfully good legacy.”

Zohran Mamdani’s July 4th address on Friday afternoon was an utter disgrace, especially when you consider that he became an American citizen about fifteen minutes ago.
Average Americans have had it with the left’s constant bashing of America.
