Ron DeSantis Fires Back At Gavin Newsom: “As he was locking down his citizens, he would then go and have these extravagant dinners at the French Laundry, to basically rub his citizens’ noses in the fact that he was treating them like peasants
California Governor Gavin Newsom picked a fight with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and is learning too late what a mistake he made. Newsom thinks Biden is damaged goods, as does the rest of the country, and thinks he has a chance for the top job in the land.
But first, he will have to go against rumored GOP front runner Ron DeSantis. So Gavin went on the offensive and put some ads up in Florida trashing Ron and the GOP.
Enter Ron DeSantis who said: “Everybody wants to talk about me and Florida. I’m just sitting here, little old me, doing my job. I can just tell you this. I was born and raised in this state and until the last few years, I rarely, if ever, saw a California license plate in the state of Florida.
“You now see a lot of them. I can tell you if you go to California, you ain’t seeing very many Florida license plates.
“As he was locking down his citizens, he would then go and have these extravagant dinners at the French Laundry, to basically rub his citizens’ noses in the fact that he was treating them like peasants.
“We would never allow what’s happened in places like San Francisco and LA, where these areas have been destroyed with drugs and crime and homeless [being allowed] to happen.
“We take that seriously.
“And we believe when people commit crimes, they belong behind bars, not released back onto the street,” he said.
Newsom ran reelection ads in Florida, not California, attacking Ron DeSantis recently.
According to CNN:
“Newsom’s new ad, first provided to CNN and set to air on July 4, is a mashup of a classic campaign spot, business investment pitch and one of those California tourism commercials full of celebrities saying how much better it is there, wrapped in the existential terror that’s wracking progressives these days.
“It’s Independence Day — so let’s talk about what’s going on in America,” Newsom says in the ad, standing in the California sun, tieless, as “America the Beautiful” fingerpicks in the background. “Freedom is under attack in your state.”
“Those last words flash across the screen in red, followed by a photo of DeSantis shaking hands with former President Donald Trump, and then another of the Florida governor as Newsom ticks through Florida laws to ban books and restrict voting, speech and access to abortion.
“I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight — or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom: Freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love,” Newsom says as the images proceed from an aerial shot of the Santa Monica Pier to a rainbow flag waving in the hands of two women with arms around each other. “Don’t let them take your freedom.”
Earlier this year, we signed legislation banning CRT in classrooms across Florida, providing parents with recourse if districts violate state standards.
