DeSantis swiftly handles climate protester at campaign event
Security Team Member Takes Down Climate Protester at Ron DeSantis Campaign Stop
A member of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) security team swiftly tackled a climate protester who interrupted the governor on stage during a campaign stop in Ames, Iowa. The incident occurred just one day after DeSantis debated former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and four days before the state’s caucuses.
“Ron DeSantis is a climate criminal,” the man yelled. “He’s a climate criminal! How much money are you taking from oil companies?”
A video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed the protester rushing onstage with a banner that read “DESANTIS: CLIMATE CRIMINAL.” Security acted swiftly, taking him down to the ground.
As the incident unfolded, DeSantis responded, “This is what’s wrong with the college system right there.”
The protester belonged to the same group that interrupted DeSantis during his Fox News town hall earlier in the week, delivering the same message.
Group Description and Removal of Protesters
The group, known as the Sunrise Movement, describes itself as a “movement of young people fighting to stop the climate crisis and win a green new deal.” They aim to force the government to end the era of fossil fuel elites and invest in Black, brown, and working-class communities.
According to the Associated Press, two protesters were forcibly removed from the campaign event.

The protester shouted, “Ron DeSantis is a climate criminal! He’s a climate criminal! How much money are you taking from oil companies?” This interruption was caught on video and shared widely on social media.
The video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed the protester rushing onstage with a banner that read “DESANTIS: CLIMATE CRIMINAL.” Security acted swiftly, taking him down to the ground to prevent further disturbance.
In response to the incident, Governor DeSantis stated, “This is what’s wrong with the college system right there.” It is unclear whether he was referring to the protester’s actions or his affiliation with a college or university.
The protester who interrupted DeSantis belonged to the Sunrise Movement, a group that advocates for action against climate change. Their objective is to pressure the government into ending the influence of fossil fuel elites and investing in marginalized communities, specifically Black, brown, and working-class populations.
This was not the first time the Sunrise Movement attempted to disrupt DeSantis’s public appearances. The same group had interrupted DeSantis during his Fox News town hall earlier in the week, delivering the same message related to his alleged ties to oil companies.
According to the Associated Press, two protesters were forcibly removed from the campaign event. The security team took immediate action to maintain order and ensure the safety of all attendees.
Protesters play an important role in raising awareness and advocating for their causes. However, it is essential for them to express their views in a peaceful and respectful manner. Disrupting campaign events and forcefully interrupting politicians may not effectively convey their message and can lead to confrontations.
Campaign events are crucial platforms for candidates to engage with voters and present their policies. Ensuring the safety and order of these events is the responsibility of both the security team and individuals attending the event, protesters included.
As the campaign season continues, it is important for all parties involved to respect each other’s rights and engage in a civilized manner. It is through constructive dialogue and peaceful demonstrations that progress can be made towards addressing issues such as climate change.
