A video was unleashed by the "DeSantis War Room," writing, "To Wrap up 'Pride Month,' let's hear from the politician who did more than any other to celebrate it…" with a video attached.
The video shows scenes with Donald Trump promising to protect the LGBTQ community while on the campaign trail. That, of course, never happened. Loyalty with Trump is a one-way street. Sure, there are some gay Trump supporters, but there isn't enough support. Trump just wanted to grab some of their votes, then tell them to fuck off.
The Bulwark reports:
From there, the ad takes a hard turn, with a deep house beat and images that work very hard to depict Ron DeSantis as the country's most-based, faggot-hating, alpha male. The "pro-" DeSantis portion of the ad compares him to fictional serial killer and cannibal Patrick Bateman, the (purportedly gay) Greek warrior Achilles, and the floating image of the "GigaChad," a highly photoshopped muscle man.
The ad's intended message is that, unlike Trump, DeSantis will not show any humanity to gays and will be significantly more effective at targeting LGBT Americans by advancing the most "extreme slate of anti-trans laws in modern history."
But there is one line from this portion of the video that deserves particular notice.
Mike Figueredo of the Humanist Report is quoted, saying DeSantis "just produced some of the harshest, most draconian laws that literally threaten trans existence" (emphasis added).
In the video, the Florida Republican appears to boast about headlines that describe his anti-LGBTQ policies as "extreme," "draconian," "totalitarianism in disguise," and "unwarranted and un-American." In one part of the video, the words "DeSantis is evil" are spelled across the screen, followed by a shot of the Florida Governor laughing in the background.
Imagine bragging that you're an un-American hateful bigot.
