Anti-LGBTQ incumbent Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) made fun of LGBTQ people in a recent campaign mailer to Floridians.
The mailer lambasts DeSantiss Democratic opponent, Charlie Crist, showing a photo of him hugging President Biden and claiming that Bidens student loan forgiveness plan is forcing hard working Floridians to pay back student loans for degrees like Gender Studies and French Poetry. The mailer claimed that The Biden-Crist College Loan Bailout would make inflation worse; punish hard-working taxpayers; and reward universities.
In addition to mocking those who major in Gender Studies, the other side of the flyer includes a stock photo of what seems to be a Getty stock image of a nonbinary college student in a cap and gown proudly holding up their diploma. There is a speech bubble accompanying the image that reads, Thank you, Joe Biden and Charlie Crist, for making Floridians pay off my student debt.
DeSantis has long been using LGBTQ people as political pawns and has waged war against them through his support of anti-LGBTQ legislation like the infamous Dont Say Gay law he signed, as well as his continued anti-trans rhetoric. He has even worked to punish Disney for speaking out in favor of LGBTQ Equality and against the Dont Say Gay law.
The mailers show a nonbinary student thanking Biden "for making Floridians pay off my student debt."

(37,343 posts)I wonder just how much Florida taxpayers are on the hook for these loans. Less perhaps than Santis' stunt flying?
