A Jacksonville councilwoman defended Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis amid jeers from the crowd at a prayer vigil for the victims of a racially motivated shooting.
At a vigil held about a block from the Dollar General store Sunday, DeSantis was welcomed to the microphone and assured a councilwoman he has already been looking to identify funds to ensure there is "adequate security" for Edward Waters University, the historically Black college near where the shooting occurred.
