It's hilarious that DeSantis praised her two years ago for her great community work for women and now he's trying to backpedal with "but I didn't know she was trans". He really can't help with his foot in mouth disease on every front.

This reminds me of a piano player who was chased out of Germany for having jewish heritage, upon leaving the country he began to have hits that became very popular in Germany... Resulting in him getting tons of love letters from fans who praised his music as being "An example of the beauty that can only be created by a true Aryan!" and tons of rumors that he was this blonde haired blue-eyed super racist gigachad, but really he was Jewish and when he actually lived in Germany was considered "Just another hebrew ruining the Motherland"

For those wondering how that's possible, they didn't have wikipedia back then, so they couldn't type the guy's name into DuckDuckGo to check what he looks like or all the twitter posts featuring gifs of his cousin's bar mitzvah.

That said the amount of people who played Celeste and complained it was ruined with wokeness because it featured a trans pride flag despite being about a transgender character and was made by a transgender woman shows this story could still happen today.

In addition, with music composed by a transgender woman!

I super duper want her to win, but this is FL, so there is an equal chance they elect a meth head that was arrested for molesting an alligator on a golf course.
