A group of Trump supporters was asked to leave the bookstore after they were seen outside of Governor Ron DeSantis’ book signing event in Leesburg, Florida.
DeSantis was at the Books-a-Million store for a meet-and-greet for his new book, “The Courage to Be Free.”
While Trump was signing books, a group of Trump supporters would gather in the parking lot and hold Trump 2024 signs.
A security officer approached the group shortly after they arrived in the parking lot and stated,
“They told me to say anyone wearing Trump has to go right now.”
Watch the moment it went down here:

The Daily Mail had more details to add:
A group of Donald Trump supporters was booted from a Ron DeSantis book signing event after he allegedly ordered security to kick out fans of the former president.
The Florida governor was at a Books-a-Million store in Leesburg, Florida, on Tuesday, when Trump supporters attempted to take part in the event.
The group, however, was not allowed in, with video of the incident showing a security guard telling them: ‘They told me to say anyone wearing Trump has to go right now.’
The group then booed at the order, calling DeSantis out for not supporting ‘free speech’ as tensions rise between Trump and the governor, who is leading the latest Republican poll for a potential GOP presidential frontrunner.
Police officer outside of DeSantis book signing event: “anyone wearing Trump clothes needs to go.”

I am thinking that this won’t help DeSantis in the polls at all.
