A group of Trump supporters who were seen outside of Governor Ron DeSantis booking signing event in Leesburg, Florida were asked to leaving the book stores’ premise.
DeSantis was at Books-a-Million store where he was doing a meet and greet for his new book called “The Courage to be Free.”
While signing books a group of Trump supporters would come to the book store’ parking lot and hold Trump 2024 signs.
Shortly after arriving in the parking lot, a security officer came to the group and stated “They told me to say anyone wearing Trump has to go right now.”

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.”
