Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he would support the legal fund of a man who is accused of vandalizing a display by The Satanic Temple inside the Iowa Capitol on Thursday.

Michael Cassidy was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief for knocking over and destroying a statue erected by the temple inside the capitol, The Des Moines Register first reported.

“Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a ‘religion’ by the federal government,” DeSantis said on X, formerly Twitter. “I’ll chip in to contribute to this veteran’s legal defense fund. Good prevails over evil — that’s the American spirit.”

Actually, I think this likely ends with Michael Cassidy paying TST for vandalizing their statue. Which means ol' Ronnie is effectively making a donation to TST.

    They should send him a thank you letter with the Tenets and sign him up for their mailing list

    TST is not evil. They would not add him to their mailing list.
