DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said: "We also have a policy that if you’re driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.

“And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.”

DeSantis’ comments come ahead of the “No Kings” protests planned for June 14. Protest organizers have said the demonstrations are non-violent and are providing deescalation training to people taking part.

      I’d imagine it’s just feeling threatened. If multiple people swarm your car and start physically hitting it, I’d argue they just fucked around and are fair game for finding out.

      Sadly, my crystal ball tells me some old women is going to blow off the handle and run people over, claiming she felt threatened as an excuse.
