Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is using his sizeable platform to help raise funds for the legal costs of Marine veteran Daniel Penny, who faces criminal charges over the death of a homeless man on a New York subway who lawyers say was “aggressively threatening” other passengers.

DeSantis took to Twitter to bring to the attention of his 1.7 million followers that a legal defense fund has been set up on GiveSendGo for Penny, who faces criminal charges in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely, who witnesses said was acting erratically and threatening passengers before Penny intervened.
