Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made a campaign stop in San Francisco on Tuesday and was upset by what he witnessed in the "once great city."
In a one-minute video released by the GOP hopeful's presidential campaign, DeSantis said San Francisco has "collapsed" because of "leftist policies."
"We saw people defecating on the street. We saw people using heroin, we saw people smoking crack cocaine," DeSantis said. "The city is not vibrant anymore. It’s really collapsed because of leftist policies, and these policies have caused people to flee this area. They don’t prosecute criminals like they do in most parts of the country, and the wreckage is really sad to see."
Leadership matters. Cities like San Francisco that have embraced leftist policies have destroyed the quality of life of their citizens and sparked an exodus of productive people to greener pastures. We need to restore sanity across this country. pic.twitter.com/LF86omZ1e6
