DeSantis faces GOP pushback for Trump-LGBTQ video

[Social Media]

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.

Perhaps the OP is DeSantis' tit for tat revenge for the recent Trump ad from MAGA.

Here's the actual video in question. At about 25 seconds it goes utterly nuts. It says something about the quality of the voters Desantis is looking for that his people believe this will actually help recruit them to his cause.
