"DeSantis Faces Backlash at Jacksonville Vigil for Shooting Victims"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was booed and heckled at a vigil for the victims of the Jacksonville shooting, where a white gunman killed three Black people. DeSantis, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, faced criticism from the crowd but vowed to protect historically Black colleges and universities from being targeted. He announced $1 million in funding for Edward Waters University to increase security on campus. The shooter, identified as Ryan Palmeter, had expressed racial hatred and killed himself after the shootings. DeSantis has faced criticism for his anti-"woke" agenda, gun control efforts, and controversial education policies regarding race.
