evidence: Ron DeSantis Disavows Bill That Would Require Political Bloggers To Register With the Government [...] "Every person in the legislature can file bills, right?" said DeSantis during a Tuesday press conference. "I see these people filing bills and there's articles with my face on the article saying that 'oh, bloggers are going to have to register [with] the state,' and it's attributing it to me. And I'm like, okay, that's not anything I've ever supported, I don't support [it]." [...] The bill received swift backlash. "Dear Ron DeSantis. I am a Florida blogger, and I will NEVER register with the state, nor pay a fine," tweeted one user. "Your daily reminder Ron DeSantis is a fascist," added another. However, as the original fervor cooled, some writers noticed that it did not, in fact, have DeSantis' backing. "That Florida bill about bloggers registering with the state had a single sponsor and everyone was acting like it was going to pass tomorrow with Ron DeSantis's blessing?" tweeted NewsNation reporter Zaid Jilani on Tuesday. "There's always a few weird bills out there in every legislature."
