Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) didn't shy away from his persona as a battle-tested conservative who fights on cultural issues during his Wednesday night presidential announcement on Twitter Spaces.
In a session with Elon Musk and moderator David Sacks, DeSantis defended his attacks against"woke" ideology and diversity initiatives, reiterated his disdain for Disney amid a feud, pushed back against a travel advisory the NAACP issued, and declared he wasn't banning books in the Sunshine State.
On the yearlong feud with Disney stemming from the company's criticism against the Parental Rights in Education Act, DeSantis was unrepentant."Florida stands for the protection of children. We believe jamming gender ideology in elementary school is wrong," DeSantis said. "So the reason why there's a quote fight is because they filed a lawsuit in the state of Florida trying to get their special privileges re-instituted," DeSantis said of the Disney lawsuit."But I don't think that that's good policy, and I think some of these Republicans that are taking Disney's side, they're basically showing themselves to be corporatist because these are all corporate goodies.
DeSantis also pushed back against media criticism that he's banning books in Florida."So the whole book fan thing is a hoax. There's not been a single book banned in the state of Florida," he said."You can go buy or use whatever book you want. What we have done is empowered parents with the ability to review the curriculum to know what books are being used in school, and then to ensure that those books match state standards and are age and developmentally appropriate.
