DeSantis is not playing anymore games.
According to reports, Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, attributes the state’s success to his anti-“woke” policies, while speculation continues about his potential candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
After recently revoking Disney’s self-governing status, Governor DeSantis spoke with Fox about his efforts to combat the far-left ideology of the Democratic Party in all areas of society.
In transcript provided by Fox, DeSantis said, “I think we have to recognize the left is trying to impose its agenda through all of our arteries in society, including corporate America. And so part of my job to protect the freedoms of my citizens is to ensure that the left not able to impose their agenda on them through corporate America, through bureaucracy, through universities,”
DeSantis doubled down and said, “The fight with Disney was really about who governs the state of Florida. I think they thought for 60 years they called the shots. Well, there’s a new sheriff in town, and we call the shots, and we made that very clear.”
Last month, Governor DeSantis signed HB 9B into law, which changed the name of the Reedy Creek Improvement District (where Disney World is located) to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. The new law mandates that only members with term limits who are not recent employees or contractors of Disney within the past three years may serve on the board.
In addition, the new measure removed Disney’s previous exemptions from the Florida building code, the Florida fire prevention code, and state regulatory reviews.
However, Governor DeSantis implied that Florida’s achievements are not solely attributed to the changes made to Disney’s oversight.
Recent statistics published by the Census Bureau revealed that Florida’s population rose to 22,244,823 in the period between 2021 and 2022, resulting in a 1.9% increase in just one year.
It’s clear that Florida is winning under DeSantis’ incredible leadership. DeSantis says there’s a new sheriff in town and he isn’t playing about that. It’s no surprise why Democrats hate him so much.
