Ron DeSantis snaps at NYC Mayor Eric Adams for pushing Floridians to move to NY in response to 'Don't Say Gay' law

Brent D. Griffiths and Jake Lahut 4 hours ago

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis snapped at New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday after Adams unveiled an ad campaign to convince Floridians to move to the nation's largest city in response to DeSantis' controversial new "Don't Say Gay" law.

DeSantis argued that free speech is under attack in New York, rather than Florida.

"New York is doing billboards telling people to 'Come to New York from Florida,' you know, they are wasting taxpayer money on doing that," DeSantis told reporters. "They're saying you can say whatever you want, but you know they're the ones that will force a mask on your face and muzzle you in public."

Adams is behind a new billboard campaign criticizing the "Parental Rights in Education" law in major cities in Florida, including Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa. According to the mayor, taxpayer money wasn't used on the campaign. Adams told reporters that private firms donated their creative content and Kinetic, an ad agency, secured the billboard space.

The ones who will vote for him regardless of what he pulls, simply because he doesn't have a (D) next to his name. And they LOVE THIS SHIT.
