Homophobic DeSantis Campaign Staffer Cheers at LGBTQ+ Families Fleeing Florida

Desantis is a hate monger and bigot.



https://www.advocate.com/politics/christina-pushaw-desantis-lgbtq-families

Florida’s leadership is thrilled to see LGBTQ+ people leaving the state. That’s according to the actions of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s former spokesperson and current campaign staffer, Christina Pushaw.

In response to news that queer families were choosing to escape the state — which is at the forefront of implementing draconian legislation severely limiting LGBTQ+ people’s rights, from what they can wear and say to what kind of medical access they have — Pushaw indicated her glee with the displacement of families who are seeking a better life outside the confines of Florida’s jurisdiction.

As DeSantis' rapid response director, Pushaw tweeted an article about the number of LGBTQ+ parents leaving the state, with an emoji of a waving hand.



A UCLA Williams Institute survey, cited in the piece by Florida’s Voice, found that half of 113 LGBTQ+ parents surveyed in Florida had considered moving because of Florida’s "don’t say gay" law.

Didn’t she also have something to do with the bus full of immigrants that was sent to Martha’s Vineyard?

who can leave.

I have a sister & her family in Gainesville & Nephew and his bride to be in St Pete. all caring Dems.

I'm invited to their wedding in October.. I don't think I can go bc it's so far and not sure about the logistics.. but I would go if I could to be there for them

(fuck Stupid deSadist)

They are so established with all their jobs there and homes for decades.. I don't see them leaving anytime soon.. but you never know.

And whatever DeSantis wants he gets strict compliance with, from what I see, and little push back. I hope your family is OK! I'm leaving as soon as I can, but it's a major move. I never thought I would be leaving Florida, but it has changed so much, and rapidly.

of people are leaving Florida and it's not just LGBT. They are fed up with Florida and all of it's hostility. I am leaving asap. It's a horrible place to live and work. And the hatred is endless, road rage, crowding on and on. I can't believe this ass DeSantis is having an ongoing fight with Disney. WTF!

Given her background, you'd think she would be opposed to repressive, authoritarian politics. Instead she's gone full tilt at them. A truly disgusting miserable person.

They leaving because who wants to live under the rule of fascists who spit on the people who pay their salaries. That goofy looking broad should enjoy her moment of happiness because the mouse, among others, is going to kick her back side into the swamp she rose from.


Ps. I hope she is the big brain advising De Santis.

are the ones with the brains, education and abilities...and they are taking all of these elsewhere.

Also, and I would say this about a man as well, but what the hell happened to Pushaw's face? Is it just the camera angle? The first photo looks like a scary clown nightmare.

There are other pictures of her online. She doesn't look nearly as bad in them as she does in the Advocate article.

On the other hand, any external attractiveness she has is vastly skewed by the evil in her heart.
