Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calls out the Chinese Communist Party for buying giant chunks of farmland and property in his state, saying it's a 'huge problem'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Gov. Ron DeSantis - considered a potential 2024 presidential candidate - says it's a growing concern

'I don't think they should be able to do it. I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP,' he said

The governor's solution has been to begin banning what he calls 'undue influence from rogue states' like China's ruling party

The state has already banned what's known as a 'Confucius Institute,' public pro-China educational and cultural promotion programs

DeSantis added that there's likely more legislative action to come: 'We're also probably going to do legislation next legislative session about our pension investments, with things that may be linked to the CCP. We don't necessarily have a lot of it, but we want to make sure that we're cutting ties so that we're not funding our number-one adversary.'

This isn't the first time the Florida Republican has gone in on the CCP.
