Nassau County GOP group offers to ‘shelter’ Trump in a ‘safe house’ with ‘maximum force’
NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. – A northern Florida young GOP organization says it wants to protect former President Donald Trump in the Sunshine State after he was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
The Nassau County Young Republicans said it has an “undisclosed North Florida safehouse” that Trump can access “at [his] word.”
“…Refusing extradition with maximum force,” the group said. “God bless America. We are standing back and standing by.”
Nassau County is at the very northeastern tip of Florida with under 100,000 residents.
In 2020, the county gave 72.4% of its vote to Trump and 26.5% to President Joe Biden.
The president of the Nassau young GOP group, Bo Wade Hodges, told Trump on X, “I’ve got your back in Nassau County.”
Trump is set to be sentenced on July 11. Though jail time is technically permissible under his convictions, it’s not expected for Trump to see the inside of a jail cell, especially due to his age and status as a former president.
Florida state leaders in the GOP condemned the New York City verdict Thursday, and one lawmaker – Sen. Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers – wants a special session targeting New York over the criminal trial.
