Florida Governor’s Policies Stir Up Controversy



Governor Ron DeSantis is threatening the Special Olympics with a $27 million fine over their vaccine mandate. DeSantis has also taken another aim at the transgender community as his Surgeon General penned a letter to the Medical Board, asking for a ‘new standard of care’ for transgender youth, writing, “I recommended against certain pharmaceutical, non-pharmaceutical, and surgical treatments for gender dysphoria.” These treatments have already been endorsed by both the American Medical Association and The American Academy of Pediatrics.

  1. This Covid-19 virus is going to have a bad effect on business forevermore! Crazy government Fauci Frankenstein paid for our pandemic with my tax money!

  2. Vaccines don't prevent transmission. Ron DeSantis is right, there is absolutely no reason to mandate these vaccines besides greed and power

  3. This is the face of a fascist. De Santis attacked school children for wearing masks during a pandemic because it made him look bad. He attacks and punishes Mickie Mouse for speaking out against injustice for LGBT people. He has financially punished a sports team for simply stating that gun violence is bad after 19 little school children were gunned down. We are truly on the road to fascism.

  4. I use a simple acronym to describe Governor Ron DeSantis. I'm hoping it catches on so I don't have to keep explaining. BGE. Best Governor Ever.

  5. red States and right-wingers despise blue States and Democrats. when these red States look at all that Federal donations all those programs in their state that's funded by federal money that their state doesn't have what do they think that money comes from do the blue states that they despise the red states in America are some of the poorest states in America and if they ever break from America they be more of a third world country

  6. that's what the Republican Party reminds me of the current Republican party teenagers. they want to treat their parents with the most most discussed but whenever that Federal money starts flowing they'll be the first in line with their hands out just watch this upcoming storm season all those red States who want to succeed will be begging for that federal a most of which is paid into by Blue States

  7. so Donald Trump and other right-wingers want to call for a civil war openly. removing themselves from America and rolling their own lives their own States. how much is anyone in this country want to bet when the hurricane start coming these same people who are howling to the moon to succeed from the nation become a separate nation will want that Federal donation money to rebuild the states Republican Party in the right-wing have become teenagers they want money from their parents but they want to throw Tantrums every 5 Seconds because they can't get their way

  8. that's because anywhere else he couldn't get a job as a nurse in a clinic Ron DeSantis hired him to be the mouthpiece a black person a person of color who will say whatever is put in front of him Ron DeSantis made this man gave him a career and this person knows that Ron DeSantis can easily take that career away since she's not qualified in any shape for the job

  9. they want to compete your Ron DeSantis you are the one that made it so they could not compete. while you stripped education in the written word from libraries and schools why you rob Children of the ability to learn how to do math why you're committing acts of blatant open authoritarianism as governor of Florida Ron DeSantis needs to be put behind bars

  10. Floridas governor needs a mental health check. Every politician need mental health checks every 6 months

  11. DeSantis is a truly courageous leader.

  12. If you want to butcher your children pay for that s*** yourself

  13. All these transgender people will still vote for him..
