Ron DeSantis doesn’t seem to do much governing in the state of Florida. Instead, the Governor remains obsessed with pushing culture war issues. Last week, DeSantis came under fire for yelling at High School students who were wearing masks.

The spokesperson took to Twiter, writing, “The bill that liberals inaccurately call “Don’t Say Gay” would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill.”
Pushaw continued, “If you’re against the Anti-Grooming Bill, you are probably a groomer or at least you don’t denounce the grooming of 4-8 year old children. Silence is complicity. This is how it works, Democrats, and I didn’t make the rules.”

The Republican aide doubled down on her take on Monday. She retweeted a message of support that read, “Agree with Christina or not, that’s simply NOT what she said. She did NOT say LGBT people are pedophiles. She said people of any orientation who want to push woke sexuality on primary schoolers in the classroom, are groomers or OK with it. Agree or disagree; don’t lie.”
