‘Peaky Blinders’ denounces Ron DeSantis homophobic campaign video
Peaky Blinders cast and crew have condemned a campaign video promoting Ron DeSantis and his US presidential bid.The video, which uses clips of attractive straight men to illustrate a homophobic narrative, and pokes fun at the moral panic stemming from the Florida governor’s policies, appears to have been made by the right wing media brand Proud Elephant. The @DeSantisWarRoom “rapid response” campaign account on Twitter then retweeted the video.In the video are clips of Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders as well as other fictional alpha male types such as Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort from The Wolf Of Wall Street.
