DeSantis officially designates Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas-linked CAIR and Antifa as terror groups

This creates an interesting situation. If these designations have any teeth, they will raise questions regarding how these organizations, particularly the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), are regarded nationwide. Will CAIR-Florida have to shut down? CAIR wields enormous influence among clueless and compromised politicians nationwide, as they court Muslim votes. Will politicians in other states think twice about appearing at Hamas-linked CAIR events since it is designated a terror organization in Florida? Or will they dismiss this as DeSantis’ political grandstanding? The latter is much more likely. Also, once DeSantis is out of office and the Democrats are back in charge, watch for them to lift these designations and turn around and designate some patriotic groups as terror organizations.

That’s not to say that DeSantis shouldn’t have done this. The question now, however, is what practical difference it will make.
