Ron “Don’t Say” DeSantis tries to rewrite his anti-LGBTQ+ record after multiple polls land him in the toilet
so poorly, the gay-hating Florida governor is trying to walk back aspects of his anti-LGBTQ+ record, which has been the cornerstone of his campaign thus far.In a recent interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream, DeSantis, who’s no longer even the clear No.
2 among the Republican field after Nikki Haley has begun surging in the polls, pushed back against the notion his administration is banning books.“Well, first of all, there’s not a single book that’s banned in the state of Florida,” he lied. “That is a media hoax.”Ah yes, the good ol’ media hoax.
If that’s the case, then the Florida Department of Education is perpetrating the same alleged smear. A report from the DoE shows about 300 books have, in fact, been removed from schools since 2022.
DeSantis is playing a pedantic game of semantics. While the books in question aren’t banned from the state, they aren’t allowed in school libraries.
