Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis tries & fails to rewrite history by claiming he’s never “demeaned” gay people
In a recent interview with Fox News, the flailing presidential candidate defended the video as an attack against Donald Trump and his previous ambivalence about transgender issues.
At the same time, DeSantis also said he’s never demeaned anybody, including members of the LGBTQ+ community.Could’ve fooled us!“Those are the two issues, I think they’re totally legitimate,” he said. “I don’t believe in demeaning anybody, and we have not done that since I’ve been governor.”DeSantis’ track record, of course, proves otherwise.
As Florida governor, he’s prohibited classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender ideology among all grade levels, banned gender-affirming care for minors and made it illegal for transgender people to use the public bathroom that corresponds with their gender ideology.
As a presidential candidate, he’s leaned heavily into homophobia, with the aforementioned video representing just the tip of the iceberg.
