Thinking about it a little more this morning it really is funny that DeSantis couldn't even say "I disagree with the message and wish they were not in my state". He just played the victim, accusing others of trying to make it "political".
It would be like if the governor of a state said that exact thing about a BLM march where they were screaming about getting rid of the police and that white people were the only problem.
It's not wrong to speak out against the message without denying them the right to say it.
And for some, like DeSantis (and maybe a subgroup of his supporters) even criticizing the message is a step too far.
They, DeSantis and that subgroup, would rather attack the people questioning him...and that upsets him/them...for some reason.
Edit for clarity: That is not accuse anyone who disagrees with me of falling into that subset. That is to say that such a group exists...for some reason. If I called someone, say, "obnoxious" I would just say THAT person was and not dance around it.
