Florida Sen. on DeSantis: 'People see this extremism is not helping anyone' - The ReidOut - MSNBC



As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis travels outside of his state while he apparently pursues his presidential ambitions, hundreds of drag queens and allies marched on the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee on Tuesday protesting state Republicans' continued assault on the LGBTQ community.

The march comes a week after the Republican-led state legislature passed a bill banning children from attending drag shows--many say to placate DeSantis. Florida St. Sen. Shevrin Jones joins Joy Reid discussing Ron DeSantis saying, "People see that this extremism is not helping anyone." - Aired on 04/25/2023.

"A 40% hike in flood insurance prices is not going to be solved by keeping children from learning about Rosa Parks."

Everything Desantis is doing in Florida is a solution looking for a problem. And never finding one.
