DeSantis faces GOP pushback for Trump-LGBTQ video

BY JULIA MANCHESTER AND BROOKE MIGDON - 07/03/23 6:59 PM ET

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) presidential campaign is facing pushback after his team shared a video attacking former President Trump over his past comments in support of the LGBTQ community. 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (D), the first openly gay man to be confirmed as Cabinet secretary, responded to the video on CNN Sunday by asking who DeSantis was trying to “make better off” with the video. Caitlyn Jenner, the former Olympic decathlete who came out as transgender in 2015, said the video marked “a new low” for the campaign. Even 2024 Republican presidential contenders Chris Christie and Will Hurd said the video was divisive.

The video shared Friday — the last day of LGBTQ Pride month — includes resurfaced clips of the former president saying he would “do everything in my power” to protect LGBTQ citizens and expressing support for transgender individuals to use the restroom of their choice.

The video then cuts to clips of DeSantis and a series of headlines discussing policies DeSantis has passed as governor of Florida concerning the LGBTQ community, including a ban on transgender people using public bathrooms that are consistent with their gender identity and restrictions on access to gender-affirming health care.

Some LGBTQ Republicans, responding to Friday’s video, said in interviews with The Hill that they would no longer support DeSantis as the GOP nominee in 2024. Some questioned whether they would back a Republican candidate at all.

  Maybe from Lincoln Log House Republicans.  Most Republicans are saying 'Enough of this $hit'!

I  don't give a damn about attention whores  that lust after more attention,but I DO draw the  line at trannies using the bathroom they CHOOSE to use instead of the one they are SUPPOSED to use.

Besides the VERY obvious threat of child sexual abuse,it's like suddenly,there are laws for regular people to follow or be arrested,but trannies are free to go anywhere they want to go and do anything they want to do,just like they are some sort of protected species.
