‘Can’t wait for discovery’: DeSantis trolls CAIR over lawsuit threat

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a cheeky response to lawsuit threats from CAIR over a new terror designation.

On Monday, DeSantis declared that his state will be recognizing the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as “foreign terrorist organizations” effective immediately.

Look:

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Florida is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations.

“Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support,” his post reads.

It took no time at all for CAIR to respond to what they are calling DeSantis’s “defamatory and unconstitutional” order.

“The Florida chapter and national headquarters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today announced they plan to file a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in response to his ‘defamatory and unconstitutional’ order baselessly smearing the group as foreign terrorist organization.”

Later in the evening, DeSantis published a response on X, indicating that not only is he not afraid of the threat, but that he’s looking forward to going through the discovery phase of legal action.

I look forward to discovery — especially the CAIR finances. Should be illuminating! https://t.co/2ONFTrVnDh

“I look forward to discovery — especially the CAIR finances. Should be illuminating!” he snarked.

X users weighed in on what appears to be a coming battle:

And the thing about finances, say any of that money made it to Hamas, a US designated foreign terrorist org, now you’re talking federal prison.

By all means CAIR, sue away.

CAIR is soon going to be sad to discover that yelling “Islamaphobia” will not have the impact it once did. pic.twitter.com/1zmpK7hiGS

Heck I’m hoping Kentucky CAIR joins in so we can get the goods on them too!

I think it’s hilarious that they think they can intimidate a Navy JAG, who dealt with some of the worst of the worst while on active duty.
Bravo Zulu, Gov.
