On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "The ReidOut," Florida Agriculture Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried (D) reacted to Gov. Ron DeSantis proposing the creation of the Florida State Guard, which previously existed in Florida and would make Florida the 23rd state in America to have an active state guard by stating that DeSantis is "an authoritarian dictator here in our state," and that DeSantis is asking for unvaccinated people from New York to come to Florida, "and now he's going to employ them here in the state of Florida."
