It’s a Tallahassee takedown.
A new ad from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis highlights the stampede of northeastern emigres into the Sunshine State — and features former New Yorkers to drive home the point.
Filmed over spring break in New Smyrna Beach, the spot encourages viewers to “Vote Free, Be Free,” while flashing an animated image of the polarizing governor in a pair of aviator sunglasses.
“I’m a New Yorker,” declares one woman. “And now I’m living in Florida.”
Another Empire State escapee is asked where her native soil ranks in terms of general freedom.
“I think we’re pretty much at the bottom,” the woman replies.
“You’re number zero,” a DeSantis aide interjects.
The beachfront broadside then cuts to images of Queens Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clutching an alfresco cocktail during a December jaunt to Miami.
