A little more information might be of interest...

From: https://people.com/politics/florida-governor-ron-desantis-has-not-denounced-neo-nazi-supporters/
The group gathered outside the Tampa Convention Center, which was playing host to the conservative Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. Photos taken of the group show them waving posters with anti-Semitic imagery, such as swastikas and Nazi flags, along with the Florida state flag and a poster showing DeSantis' face....Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried held a press conference in the same place, urging DeSantis to denounce the group....Fellow Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist — who served as Florida's Republican governor from 2007 to 2011 but later switched political parties — also criticized DeSantis for not yet condemning the display.

I suspect Deathsantis will react the same way Stubby Mcbonespurs did when he had to deal with racist supporters... EVENTUALLY give a half-hearted weak condemnation some time after things have died down. (Remember how he claimed he "didn't know David Duke", even though he had previously mentioned him by name.)

Of course, being linked to NeoNazis is probably beneficial for DeathSantis if he is trying to win the Republican primaries, but likely harmful in a general election.
