Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blames the media for his anti-LGBTQ+ reputation, even though the presidential hopeful has devoted his tenure to rolling back LGBTQ+ rights in his state. In an interview with CBS Evening News, DeSantis expressed his thoughts on the NAACP’s travel advisory for Florida, which warns that the state is hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. The Human Rights Campaign has issued a similar travel advisory. DeSantis called the warning a stunt and said everyone would be hundred percent welcome in his America. DeSantis claims that these warnings are given to promote and boost a very left-wing agenda, which he does not support. He took issue with the fact that activists and members of the media labeled the law he passed as the Don’t Say Gay law since the bill never actually mentioned the word gay. Explaining the recent fight with Disney he said, "When we had the fight with Disney over the elementary education about, should you have things about sex and gender identity, telling a second grader that their gender’s fluid? We said, ‘Absolutely not.’ Parents in Florida agreed. And throughout the country, I think, agreed with that.” The 2024 Presidential election candidate also claimed that Florida has more African-American students on scholarships for conservative school-choice programs than any other state in the United States.
