Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed a protester who heckled him during a press conference on Thursday in Jacksonville.

DeSantis, who is running for president, was talking at an event at Culhane’s Irish Pub when the heckler tried to blame him for the shooting in the city last month — which DeSantis strongly condemned at the time.

“First of all, I did not allow anything with that,” DeSantis said as the protester continued to talk. “I’m not going to let you accuse me of committing criminal activity. I am not going to take that. I am not going to take that.”

“To say that I’m letting — that guy was Baker Acted,” DeSantis continued, referencing the prior incident when law enforcement officials had placed the suspect on a mental health hold years before the tragedy.

“He should have been ruled ineligible [to buy a gun], but they didn’t involuntarily commit him and so, they weren’t—” DeSantis said as the heckler continued to interrupt.

The man then made a claim that is difficult to hear on the video of the exchange, to which DeSantis responded: “No, no. There is the truth. There is something about the truth. It’s not — everyone doesn’t have their own truth. No.”

“You don’t get to come here and blame me for some madman,” he continued. “That is not appropriate and I’m not going to accept it.”

The man then claimed that DeSantis had “allowed” something to happen, to which the governor fired back: “Oh, that is nonsense. That is such nonsense. We’ve done more — we’ve done more to support law enforcement in this state than anybody and throughout the United States. Our crime rate in Florida is at a 50-year low.”

“We have enacted policies so that people have a chance to live in safety. We have attracted people to come to this state in large part because we’ve had a commitment to public safety, so the notion that somehow we’re not supportive of safety is absurd, and we’ve put our money where our mouth,” he concluded. “We’ve put support behind policies to hold people accountable who hurt other people. You haven’t seen us releasing people from prison. When they hurt — when you do the crime, you do the time.”

Author and Daily Wire host Candace Owens is revealing more details about her new docuseries “Convicting a Murder” (CAM), which tells the other side of Netflix’s hit limited series “Making a Murder” (MAM).

MAM focuses on Wisconsin resident Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach. The series became a smash, garnering attention from celebrities and others online contending Avery is innocent.

Speaking to Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on “The Ben Shapiro Show,” Owens said the MAM creators, Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, engaged in “deceptive editing,” which Owens details in CAM.

“So I think one of the things that they were really brilliant at — these two documentary makers — was deceptive editing,” Owens told Shapiro. “If they’re showing you parts of the court testimony, you’re thinking that you’re watching a person respond.”

Owens then outlined an example of a police officer tensing up and looking as if he was not telling the truth after a pointed question was asked in court. However, Owens said the question in the documentary was asked at a different time, meaning the officer’s “reaction” was not really his reaction to that specific question.

“They just used him sitting up at a different moment and put it next to a question that he was asked at a different time,” she said. “So it was sort of these deceptive editing tricks to heavily suggest that people were either innocent or people were guilty.”

Owens also revealed that the apparent narrative in MAM doesn’t hold up to her research. “We have Avery’s family in the documentary, so that’s really incredible to actually hear from his brother — to be able to ask them those pointed questions,” Owens said.

Most important to Owens, though, is for people to keep an open mind, even if they have strong views favorable to Netflix’s MAM.

“I love the opportunity to change people’s minds,” she said. “And I think that afterwards, again, if you are a person that is willing to exercise that humility, you’re just going to go, ‘Wow, it’s incredible.’ And you will probably not doubt yourself, but you’ll grow from the experience.”
