$348,000 to the Republican Party of Florida (they donated a comparably tiny fraction of that to the state’s Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee) Moody is Florida’s attorney general, whose far-right political history includes trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act in Florida, opposing the restoration of voting rights to former felons, and supporting a lawsuit which petitioned the Supreme Court to rule the 2020 election invalid $10,000 to the “Friends of Ashley Moody” PAC.
$100,000 to the “Floridians United for Our Children’s Future” PAC, which funds Ron DeSantis’s committee and sounds a whole lot like an anti-choice dog whistle to us
DID THE DONT SAY GAY BILL PASS FREE
$225,000 to “Floridians for a Stronger Democracy,” a PAC whose goal is “preserving the free enterprise system” and funds Republican campaigns and interests
$50,000 to the “Friends of Ron DeSantis” PAC Just in Florida, and just between January and June 2021, the Walt Disney Company contributed: In the weeks leading up to the bill’s signing, employees of the Walt Disney Company, one of the state’s largest employers, decried the media empire for funding the conservative extremist politicians who put the bill into effect. Before he signed it, DeSantis said at a press conference that teaching kindergarteners “they can be whatever they want to be” was “inappropriate.” Tell that to subversive filthy smut like: the Reading Rainbow theme song, Free to Be You and Me, this Barbie campaign for toddlers called “ You Can Be Anything,” and this Barney DVD also called “ You Can Be Anything.” It’s kind of, like, the thing they teach in kindergarten. On Monday, March 28, Florida governor Flop DeRancid (Christian name Ron DeSantis) signed the state’s new “Don’t Say Gay” bill into law.
