Security tackled a protester who jumped on stage Thursday at an event for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, video of the incident shows.
DeSantis was in Ames, Iowa, for a campaign stop with Never Back Down PAC. The Florida governor was discussing a ban on China’s buying land in Florida when a protester with a flag reading “DeSantis: Climate Criminal” jumped on stage, according to a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, by CBS News reporter Aaron Navarro.
The man started shouting “Ron DeSantis is a climate criminal” before quickly being tackled by a security guard.
The man continued to yell, “How much money do you take from oil companies?” as he was led away by security, the video shows.
