Florida’s Governor is sounding off about Vice President Kamala Harris and her speech in Jacksonville this week on reproductive rights, saying the Joe Biden administration’s commitment to women’s rights is questionable given other policy positions it takes.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said Harris “tries to say that somehow, you know, she represents, you know, standing up for women. Meanwhile, their administration is trying to force men into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms,” he said. The Governor was referring to Title IX changes protecting students’ sexual orientation and gender identity, with which he says the state will not “comply.”
“How is that good for women? How is it good for girls to have boys compete against them in these sports? And so I just think that it’s just bizarre what they’re doing,” DeSantis told reporters and supporters in Jacksonville at the VyStar Tower.
The Governor did not address her message about reproductive rights, delivered in the wake of the Heartbeat Protection Act banning abortion in Florida in most cases after the sixth week of pregnancy.
Instead, he focused on voter registration to make the case that Biden and Harris’ alleged competitiveness in Florida is a “farce” given Florida will “have a million more registered Republicans than Democrats on Election Day.”
As he did previously, he taunted Democrats, daring them to spend heavily in the state, as people won’t be “buying what they’re selling” regardless.
“Light up the air in Florida. Burn all the money you want down here,” DeSantis said. “I’d rather you spend it here than in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania or some of these other places.”

Just when ya think Rhonda can’t get any more tone deaf, there they go again.
How are women supposed to play sports when they’re stuck at home tending to a baby nobody wanted but the G0P forced them to have but subsequently flat refuses to help them with that baby?

Dee: Keep averting your gaze from the #1 issue for women: control of their own reproduction. All your taunts fall flat, jock.

Jocks are like pretty women: The women get an edge on their looks and the men on their bravado. Typically, though, superficial.

Inclusion of Rhonda requires a very very loose definition of the word “jock.” It also requires the words “former” and “wannabee”

My guess is that Dee’s baseball career was wish fulfillment for a dad who didn’t make the Bigs. (He coulda been a contender.)

DeSantis is a fantastic Governor. You and the other two known liberal morons here are a minority in the great state of Florida. Are you college educated hillbilly?

PEACHY, i told you i had been to many schools, did you forget? yes im’ a grad, why are you asking me again? are you that insecure that you doubt the knowledge of those who think you to be a fool. calling me a liberal moron does not make you look smarter or more educated. desantis is a puffed up clown. most people have come to that conclusion if they didn’t already think so. it’s like you are fondly holding a piece of wood from a house that is already been blown away. you and earl are about all that is left of his fan club.

Many schools? Like kindergarten and middle school? Yes many schools I guess. I’m very confident that your credentials and education do not match DeSantis. Newsflash. DeSantis is very popular in the state of Florida.

IBS you are correct. DeSantis is very popular in Florida, inside his bubble of MFLs. Otherwise? Not so much. Ron DeSantis WAS popular a couple years back, but then Rhonda showed up.

HOWLER MONKEY , credentials and education do not match. WTF, are you gauchely trying to say, show me your transcripts ? your mistrust of others could be similar to trumps use of projection, meaning, you can’t be trusted. since trump has come along, the use of projection is talked about a lot in the media. you should know because you use it a lot.

Putin is Biden’s buddy. Putin waited for the Biden Presidency to invade Ukraine. They are either friends or Putin has no fear or respect for Biden.

Coming from the idiot that kicked 600k kids off insurance. Because, you know, they don’t really care about the child once they force them to be born.

Only Texas — imagine that! — has kicked off more kids.

“Gov. Ron DeSantis said Harris “tries to say that somehow, you know, she represents, you know, standing up for women. Meanwhile, their administration is trying to force men into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms,” he said. The Governor was referring to Title IX ”
Standing up for women is protecting abortion rights. Making sure they can get one if something awful happens during pregnancy, It happens apparently more than most people know. Terrible outcomes for the fetus, terrible consequences for the mother. And each situation can be very different. The last thing we need is government interference in our choices.
But apparently Ron DeSantis thinks a pregnant woman having to carry a child to term against her will is exactly the same as a girl on the swim team having to compete against a trans girl.

Florida is #2 in most uninsured children, beat out only by Texas, and #2 in lowest average teacher pay, only beat out by West Virginia. Hello…is this thing on? I hope people realize the neglected kids of today are everyone’s problem tomorrow. Because that’s how it actually works in the real world..
