After Mamdani Victory, DeSantis Makes NYPD Officers an Offer They Can't RefuseFlorida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is looking to capitalize on the recent socialist win in New York City.
With the victory of virulently left-wing Zohran Mamdani in the Big Apple’s mayoral election on Tuesday, DeSantis took to the social media platform X to remind NYPD officers of a brighter future available to them in the Sunshine State.
He also gave them a reason for moving that would make sense to any sane American.
“The $5k recruitment bonus we give to new officers will be utilized by a number of these NYPD officers,” DeSantis wrote.
“There is no reason to risk your life serving when the mayor hates you and believes your department shouldn’t even exist.”
DeSantis, elected by a hair’s breadth margin in 2018 before winning a resounding re-election victory four years later, signed a bill in 2022 creating a $5,000 recruitment bonus for law enforcement personnel moving in from other states, the website Florida Politics previously reported.
The country was still coming out of the “defund the police” mania that had swept cities across America, during the George Floyd riots of 2020. It was a mania Mamdani supported, though he tried to pretend otherwise...............
