Pete Buttigieg ripped Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Sunday for trying to "prove" his "manhood" in an "oiled up" LGBTQ+ attack ad that was published this week.The Florida governor is facing criticism from Democrats and Republicans after the "DeSantis War Room" Twitter account posted a video on Friday calling attention to former President Donald Trump's past statements supporting some LGBTQ+ rights.
The video highlights Trump previously voicing support for allowing transgender people to use restrooms that correspond with their gender identity.Meanwhile, the video appears to contrast Trump to DeSantis' record of passing laws targeting LGBTQ+ rights including Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill that limits the discussions of LGBTQ+ identities in public schools, a bill allowing health care providers to discriminate based on religious belief and a ban on Medicaid covering gender-affirming healthcare for both youth and adults.
