Deranged leftist starts screeching nonsense at DeSantis during Hulk Hogan tribute

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was interrupted by a crazed heckler on Thursday while paying tribute to pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, a resident of Florida who died earlier in the day.

The Republican governor was recalling WrestleMania events while hailing Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, as a “superhero” when the left-wing lunatic began screeching over Alligator Alcatraz, a makeshift immigration detention facility located in the Everglades.

The man called out, “Alligator Alcatraz — is that your f*cking legacy?”

“Hey, stop, stop! Stop! Get out of here! Get outta here!” DeSantis said as the profanity-spewing protestor was quickly shown the door while screaming that DeSantis “bowed down to a pedophile.”

And if that wasn’t enough to solidify his credentials as a crazy person, the man added that DeSantis himself was a “pedophile.”

WTF?! A leftist just started SCREECHING at Ron DeSantis while he was eulogizing Hulk Hogan

These people are absolutely DERANGED.

DeSantis returned to honoring Hogan, talking about his iconic Wrestlemania III match with Andre the Giant.

“He’s fighting Andre the Giant. And look, I was a kid. I didn’t know that it was choreographed, right? I mean, I was like really worried that he wasn’t going to be able to, but he slammed Andre the Giant,’ DeSantis said, calling the event a “a huge thing for kids in that era.”

“We were with him just a couple of months ago. My kids got to meet them and everything,” he added. “So I was really sad to see that. And our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and people throughout this region of Florida, because I know so many people cared about him.”

Here’s more from Gov. DeSantis on his unscripted tribute to Hogan:

Sad to hear that Hulk Hogan has passed away.

The Hulkster was an icon for so many of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s, and he was a Floridian through and through.

RIP, Brother. pic.twitter.com/zJyVvsxlli

As for the potty-mouthed leftist, it’s not clear what his ultinmate fate was but there’s no question he lost in the court of public opinion.

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

What a disgusting human being. So deranged.

This is what happens when a mentally ill person believes the people spreading bogus conspiracy theories now.

Ah, the good old days when lunatics like this (there were far fewer back then) would be taken out behind the building and taught a lesson in respect. Now, they’ll paint him like a hero for screaming during a tribute speech and as a victim for being removed from the building. You…

They can’t let us have one moment of unity.
Not even to honor a legend like Hulk Hogan.

These people are so broken by hatred, they’d rather scream in church than sit in silence at a funeral.

Thank God Ron held the line. Total class under pressure.

Unhinged, vile people. I keep saying it. Democrats are a danger to our Republic.

Total disrespect.

Ron DeSantis barely missed a beat, though.
Like a boss.
