Idiot of the Week: FL Governor DeSantis Mocks LGBTQ People in Campaign Mailer

This week's idiot has had this honor quite a few times before, and yet, more than 50% Floridians are apparently dumb enough to keep supporting this fool. He already passed his hateful "Don't Say Gay" bill and that's been law. He stripped Disney (because of its LGBTQ-supporting policies) of their right to self-govern their land - which ADDED massive Infrastructure taxes on the surrounding counties. Now, he has the gall to mock LGBTQ people in a campaign mailer. When are Floridians going to come to their senses?  

RON DESANTIS MOCKS LGBTQ PEOPLE IN CAMPAIGN MAILER  Huff Post. Nov. 3, 2022 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is pushing bigotry and lies in a recent mailer his campaign sent out to voters ahead of next week’s midterm elections. The mailer attacks DeSantis’ Democratic challenger, Charlie Crist, using a slew of misinformation, including that President Joe Biden’s student loan plan will force “hard working Floridians to pay back student loans for degrees like Gender Studies and French Poetry.” The mailer, which a Fort Lauderdale resident shared with HuffPost, shows a photo of Crist and Biden embracing, above a line that reads: “The Biden-Crist College Loan Bailout will: Make inflation worse; Punish hard-working taxpayers; Reward universities.”   The flier also includes a photo of a student wearing makeup during their graduation ceremony. A speech bubble drawn over their head shows the student saying: “Thank you, Joe Biden and Charlie Crist, for making Floridians pay off my student debt.” The photo appears to be a stock image of a nonbinary student at a graduation.   “These extremists are hellbent on returning us to the darkest days of anti-LGBTQ hysteria that fueled discrimination, bigotry, and violence against the community,” he continued. “The war they are waging against equality ― and LGBTQ Floridians ― is dangerous, cynical, and should be condemned by all who want to see a Florida that is more inclusive of and safe for all people.”   DeSantis’ success demeaning and erasing LGBTQ folks has led him to campaign on the same issues. His new flier isn’t the first to mock gender studies majors and others interested in gender issues. One mailer sent to Floridians in October claimed that Crist is forgiving student loans for gender studies majors who have used their money on tattoos and piercings.
