Ron DeSantis fired back on Sunday at Gavin Newsom’s desperate campaign targeting Florida. Recently, the governor of the Democratic Party announced an ad purchase in Florida. He claimed that California was the true beacon for freedom.
Keep in mind that Newsom runs the most over-regulated, overbearing, overtaxed state in the union, to the point where you can’t even get a plastic straw. Do not forget the years-long COVID lockdowns.
Per The Daily Wire, the ad Newsom plans to run has been revealed, and it’s as pathetic and out-of-touch as you’d imagine. Here’s an excerpt.
“It’s Independence Day. So let’s talk about what’s going on in America,” Newsom says in the 30-second spot. “Freedom is under attack in your state. I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight — or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom: freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love. Don’t let them take your freedom.”
There is no other way than to have fun. Newsom actually believes that leftwing platitudes about “freedom to choose” and “freedom to love” will resonate in Florida, where the economy is booming and people enjoy individual freedom on a level only rivaled by other red states. Imagine thinking people would want to leave that behind in order to move to a crime-ridden hellhole with exploding homelessness, high taxes, and a government that won’t even let you make basic decisions without interference.
But California allows drag shows in schools, so I guess that’s supposed to drive people out of Florida or something. Again, it’s just laughable, and DeSantis spokesman Dave Abrams fired back with the obvious retort.
“Gavin Newsom might as well light a pile of cash on fire,” Dave Abrams, a spokesperson for DeSantis’s re-election campaign told The Daily Wire. “Pass the popcorn for his desperate attempt to win back the California refugees who fled the hellhole he created in his state to come to Florida.
“The people of Florida pay no mind to the pathetic smear campaigns from the Democrats and their allies in the corporate media,” Abrams added. “We’re too busy enjoying the freedom Governor Ron DeSantis has created in the Sunshine State.”
This is where the real key lies. The reality is that people from Newsom’s state have been fleeing to Florida in droves over the last several years. Those people aren’t going to be swayed by a dude with too much hair gel virtue signaling about abortion. They’re too focused on Florida and the freedom that Florida has brought them.
To keep it simple, the numbers don’t lie. One person is clearly winning here, and it’s not Gavin Newsom. If anything, the fact that he’s now running ads in a state thousands of miles away shows just how far California has fallen. DeSantis doesn’t even have to respond in kind because his state is booming.
Newsom is clearly aiming to run for the presidency in 2024. I suspect things aren’t going to work out that well for him. Is it really possible that Democrats will throw Kamala Harris out the window? Is Kamala Harris going to be the first black vice president? Come on. That’s not to say Harris isn’t a terrible presidential candidate, but there’s no way the far-left allows her to be degraded by a slick-talking white dude like Newsom.
Still, I’m going to have a lot of fun watching the battle unfold. Ron DeSantis is likely to enjoy it as well.
