Democratic politicians are taunting Ron DeSantis by inviting Floridians to their states

Democratic politicians are mocking Gov. Ron DeSantis by slamming Florida's controversial laws and inviting Floridians or Florida businesses to their states.

It's a strategy that has been used recently by New York Mayor Eric Adams, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, and with a $105,000 ad buy over the July 4 weekend, by California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

"I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight," Newsom says in an ad. "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."

The jabs come as DeSantis seeks reelection as governor and is seen as a potential contender for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

Scattered among other plantings, I grow a wide variety of CA native blue salvias. They are so beautiful.

I'm with you on getting in the face of DeSantis. I'm afraid he's shaping up to be the likely Republican nominee. And that is a scary thought.
