"On the second day of Pride Month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed two support programs for the LGBT community in Orlando. Using his line-item veto authority on the state's budget, which allows him to nix individual appropriations -- DeSantis axed $150,000 in funding for The LGBT+ Center in Orlando. That money would have gone toward mental health and counseling services for Pulse shooting survivors."
This was a brilliant move by DeSantis; especially to do it during fag pride month...He is definitely setting himself up to be a lock for VP pick when Trump returns to power this August -- and he is by far the frontrunner for president in 2024; if Trump decides not to be Supreme ruler for life.
DeSantis is beginning to learn like many other GOP hopefuls; that the way to ascend among the GOP base is not by implementing good policies, but by engaging in theater and performative cruelty -- because cruelty is the point for Conservatives.
