Here’s how Florida Gov. DeSantis schooled top Democrats in their blue states. He caught Democrats going woke, but outsmarted them on what voters care about.
has become a major talking point in our public discourse, as America’s cities seem preordained to chaos thanks to"criminal justice reform."
In Chicago, where crime is returning to 1990s levels, Mayor Lori Lightfoot piled on, calling DeSantis,"a right-wing demagogue … racing to the bottom to outdo Trump." In short: Adams, Pritzker and Lightfoot took the bait. Rather than engaging on the very issue that DeSantis is fronting – and thereby potentially blunting it – the three Dems defaulted to the culture war talking points that currently embody the left’s least popular positions.
His charge of discriminating against"our LGBTQ+ neighbors" refers to Florida’s law prohibiting the teaching of explicit sexual content to students in third grade and younger. Yes, DeSantis famously stated that"Florida is where woke goes to die." And these three Democratic leaders find his positions abhorrent. But that wasn’t the point of the DeSantis tour. The result is that these Democrats fully ceded the public safety issue to DeSantis. On their home turf, DeSantis delivered a message that must surely have resonated with moderates who are worried about crime and disorder.
