From Conservative Grounds, in Largo, Florida Saturday, Rep. Matt Gaetz asked the question, “What in the hell is the Capitol Police doing setting up an office in Tampa, Florida?”
In July, the Capitol Police announced the creation of field offices in several states to investigate threats against members of Congress in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The first two field offices will be located in the San Francisco, California, and Tampa, Florida areas. with “additional regions in the near future” in order to “investigate threats to members of Congress,” said Capitol Police chief Yogananda Pittman in a press release.
In response, Hillsborough County GOP Chairman, Jim Waurishuk, sent a letter to Florida Governor DeSantis asking for a stop to the establishment of a field office for the Capitol Police.
“I am writing to request as Governor you put an end to the establishment of the Capitol Police field office in Tampa, Florida,” penned HGOP Chairman Jim Waurishuk. “This is not the proper place for the Federal government to set up a base for authority over our local residents and citizens.”
Governor DeSantis said to The Free Press, “Congressional Democrats should focus more on the dangerous “defund the police” movement taking hold of the left — and less on political schemes.”
Governor DeSantis’ Office added, “We have one question for the Capitol Police in response to their statement about “threats” in Florida that, they say, informed the plan to open a field office here: When have our Florida law enforcement (or the FBI) ever fallen short when Capitol Police have asked for help here?”
Rep. Matt Gaetz agrees, “They couldn’t even protect the Capitol in Washington D.C,” he said in Largo Saturday evening. “I’m a Florida man so I am an expert on this. There is no Capitol in Tampa, Florida, it’s not even a state Capitol.”
“I’m, increasingly concerned that federal government and many elements within it are using this exquisite national security, authorities to turn against our own people,” said Gaetz. “I will be opposed to the Capitol Police deciding to have mission creep, right down the road in the sunshine state.”
