Except he's not doing any of the things you so breathlessly listed.

He also never said bloggers in Florida have to register, but it was widely reported he did. When he explained he had nothing to do with it, the headlines ran that he was "running away from it." He could sue them for defamation. I totally understand why he refuses to give interviews to most media outlets. They will print complete lies, because now they need to make him look worse than Trump and that's a difficult feat.

Exactly. I hope he continues to stay above the fray and not engage with the usual outrage-mongers who would love for him to react.

You guys said the same thing about him banning books. We’ve all seen pics of bookshelves in Florida classrooms stripped of all the terrifying books like “Neither” and books about Rosa Parks.

Your disgusting party writes these laws so cleverly and presents you your counter argument - “it’s not real!” It’s the legislative equivalent of “can’t you take a joke?” and it’s every bit as toxic and annoying.

Post those pics here, because if you are talking about the pics I saw, it was a pic of a library being renovated that somebody posted trying to whip up outrage.
And, why do you want books with pornography available in school libraries?

Youth biographies about Hank Aaron and Roberto Clememte are pornographic?

Nice try. These books were not banned.

Sure. The legislation just acts on its own..

He didnt sponsor or endorse the legislation. He is a governor.

Tell me you don't understand legislative politics without using the words....

Okay genius, explain his exact role with this bill. Not what you think he WILL do, but what he has done.

DP but you’re making him sound like an inept governor who has no influence on his party members and the legislation they propose.

They were pulled off the shelves “for review.” Why?

You will need to ask the officials who pulled them for review. They have NOT been banned by any district.
Fact is - these are some of the books found by parents on Florida school shelves....

Gender Queer: A Memoir – an explicit, pornographic book showing sex acts.
Flamer – a graphic book about young boys performing sexual acts at a summer camp.
This Book Is Gay – a book containing instructions on “the ins and outs of gay sex.”
Let’s Talk About It – a book that contains graphic depictions about how to masturbate for males and females.

I'm not portraying him as inept. As a governor, he doesnt introduce bills. He could endorse them or support them by telling people it is part of the R agenda in Florida. He could say things like "get this bill to my desk so I can sign it!"

I've googled and I could just be missing it, but he doesnt appear to have discussed this blll in public. The Hill notes that he hasnt said whether he will sign it. The only connection that can be made is that he is an R in Florida and an R introduced this bill. That is a tenuou connection at best.

The bill also doesnt do what this thread says it does. Its a lot to break down but I encourage reading the Snopes article on it.

So he either wields no influence on his fellow Florida Republicans or he agrees with the bill.

Spin away...
Pulled off the shelves "for review" is still pulled off the shelves and until they are returned, they have effectively been banned.
And it was done at the behest of DeSantis.

The language of the bill clearly spell out what it does. People saying it doesn't do what it says are relying on selective enforcement. If there is one thing I've learned over the past few years its that when republicans tell you that they will do something that sounds absurd and that people dismiss as. irrational, it is usually exactly what they will do

He's a governor, not a dictator. The state legislators, regardless of party, can introduce legislation that the governor may or may not support or sign.

You absolute dolt. You - and your hero, Randi Weingarten - are repeating LIES that have already been called out as such. Educate yourself and stop spewing idiocy.

The tweeted list appears to have started out as an attempt at satire, although, as often happens on the internet, was quickly lifted from its original context and shared by those who assumed it was real. For example, teacher's union leader Randi Weingarten shared the list along with the exclamation, "Books we have taught for generations!!!!" She later deleted the tweet and apologized for posting the image, stating she should have verified its authenticity.

DP. Cite your source that says either of those books were banned. We'll wait, you ridiculous fear-monger.
